title: (E)-3-Methyl-2,6-di-phenyl-piperidin-4-one O-(3-methyl-benzo-yl)oxime.
abstract: In the title compound, C26H26N2O2, the piperidine ring exhibits a chair conformation. The phenyl rings are attached to the central heterocycle in an equatorial position. The dihedral angle between the planes of the phenyl rings is 57.58 (8)°. In the crystal, C-H⋯O inter-actions connect the mol-ecules into zigzag chains along [001].
