title: 1-Methyl-3,3-bis-[(4-methyl-phen-yl)sulfan-yl]piperidin-2-one.
abstract: The piperidone ring in the title compound, C(20)H(23)NOS(2), has a half-chair distorted to a twisted-boat conformation [Q(T) = 0.5200 (17) Å]. One of the S-bound benzene rings is almost perpendicular to the least-squares plane through the piperidone ring, whereas the other is not [dihedral angles = 75.28 (5) and 46.41 (5) Å, respectively]. In the crystal, the presence of C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions leads to the formation of supra-molecular layers in the ab plane.
