title: Crystal structure of 4-methyl-N-{[1-(4-methyl-benzo-yl)piperidin-4-yl]meth-yl}benzamide.
abstract: In the title compound, C22H27N2O2, the piperidine ring adopts a half-chair conformation with the benzene rings inclined in a trans orientation with respect to the piperidine ring [dihedral angle between the benzene rings = 89.1 (1)°]. In the crystal, a three-centre asymmetric N-H⋯O/C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-action leads to the formation of chains extending along the a-axis direction.
