Abstract: Both olefinic bonds in the title compound, C₂₁H₁₉NO₃, possess an E configuration, while the cyclohexyl ring adopts a sofa conformation. The aryl rings are not coplanar with the adjacent olefinic groups due to non-bonded interactions between the ortho H atoms of the aryl rings and the equatorial H atoms at positions 3 and 5 of the cyclohexyl ring.
