Abstract: The title compound, C₂₀H₁₉NO, is a substructure of CP-640186, a potent inhibitor of mammalian acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylases. In the crystal structure, the amide group forms a dihedral angle of 87.0 (1)° with the plane of the anthracene unit and the piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation. Molecules are arranged into layers parallel to (100) and adjacent anthracene units within layers form dihedral angles of 13.2 (1)°. C-HO interactions from the piperidine rings to the C=O group of the amide are observed between layers.
