title: 3,3-Bis[(4-chloro-phen-yl)sulfan-yl]-1-methyl-piperidin-2-one.
abstract: The piperidone ring in the title compound, C(18)H(17)Cl(2)NOS(2), has a distorted half-chair conformation. The S-bound benzene rings are approximately perpendicular to and splayed out of the mean plane through the piperidone ring [dihedral angles = 71.86 (13) and 46.94 (11)°]. In the crystal, C-H⋯O inter-actions link the mol-ecules into [010] supra-molecular chains with a helical topology. C-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯π inter-actions are also present.
