Abstract: In the molecule of the title compound, C₂₃H₂₉NO, the cyclohexanone ring has been distorted from the standard chair conformation by the ketone group such that part of the ring is almost flat. The remaining [(4-tert-butylanilino)(phenyl)methyl] portion of the molecule is in an equatorial position on the cyclohexanone ring. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 81.52 (8)°. In the crystal packing, molecules are linked by N-HO hydrogen bonds into infinite one-dimensional chains along the a axis and these chains are stacked down the c axis. The crystal structure is further stabilized by weak C-HO and C-H interactions.
