title: 2-Chloro-1-(3,3-dimethyl-2,6-di-phenyl-piperidin-1-yl)ethanone.
abstract: In the title compound, C21H24ClNO, the piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation. The two phenyl rings are inclined to one another by 20.7 (1)°, and are inclined to the mean plane of the four planar atoms of the piperidine ring by 87.64 (10) and 70.8 (1)°. The mol-ecular structure features short intra-molecular C-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯O contacts. In the crystal, there are no significant inter-molecular inter-actions present.
