1-(2-Chloro-benz-yl)-3-methyl-2,6-diphenyl-piperidine.

In the title compound, C(25)H(26)ClN, the piperidine ring has a chair conformation with all ring substituents in equatorial positions. The dihedral angle formed between the chloro-benzene ring and the flanking phenyl rings are 74.91 (18) and 47.86 (17)°. The chloro substituent is anti to the piperidine N atom. In the crystal, centrosymmetrically related mol-ecules aggregate via π-π inter-actions occurring between chloro-benzene rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.778 (2) Å] and these are linked into linear supra-molecular chains along the a axis by C-H⋯π inter-actions occurring between the phenyl rings.
