title: Crystal structure of (4-hy-droxy-piperidin-1-yl)(4-methyl-phen-yl)methanone.
abstract: In the title compound, C13H17NO2, the dihedral angle between the planes of the piperidine and benzene rings is 51.7 (2)°. The bond-angle sum around the N atom [359.8 (3)°] indicates sp (2) hybridization of the atom. In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules, forming chains along [001].
