Abstract: In the title molecule, C₂₅H₂₂N₂, the piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation. The two phenyl rings attached to the piperidine ring have equatorial orientations and make a dihedral angle of 17.9 (1)°. The phenylacetonitrile group has a bisectional orientation. Molecules are linked by intramolecular C-HN interactions, and by N-H and C-H interactions.
