title: (±)-3-Benz-yloxy-1-(4-meth-oxy-benz-yl)piperidine-2-thione.
abstract: The title mol-ecule, C20H23NO2S, adopts a twisted conformation in which the two aromatic rings connected to the central piperidine ring are orientated trans to each other. An intra-molecular C-H⋯S contact occurs. In the crystal, C-H⋯π and C-H⋯O inter-actions act to stabilize the structure in three dimensions.
