title: 1-Formyl-c-3,t-3-dimethyl-r-2,c-6-di-phenyl-piperidin-4-one.
abstract: In the title compound, C(20)H(21)NO(2), the piperidine ring adopts a distorted boat conformation. The phenyl rings substituted at the 2- and 6-positions of the piperidine ring subtend angles of 86.0 (1) and 67.3 (1)° with the mean plane of the piperidine ring (all six non-H atoms). The crystal packing features C-H⋯O inter-actions.
