In the crystal structure of the title compound, C22H21Cl2NO2, the piperidinone ring is in a boat conformation.
To a well stirred solution of 2,6-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-3,5-dimethylpiperidin-4-one (Baliah et al., 1983) (5 mmol) and triethylamine(5 mmol) in 30 ml of benzene, 3-chloropropanoyl chloride (5 mmol) in 20 ml benzene was added drop wise through a funnel for about an hour. The resulting mixture was stirred for about 4 hours under ambient conditions. After the completion of the reaction the mixture was quenched in cold water and the organic layer was extracted into ethyl acetate, washed with 5% sodium bicarbonate solution and dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate. This upon evaporation and recrystallization in alcohol yielded 2,6-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(3-chloropropanoyl)-3,5-dimethylpiperidin-4-one. The crystals were dissolved in ethanol (60 ml), refluxed for half an hour and allowed to crystallize by slow evaporation of ethanol.
H atoms were placed at idealised positions and allowed to ride on their parent atoms with C–H distances in the range 0.93–0.98 Å; Uiso(H) set to either 1.2Ueq or 1.5Ueq of the carrier atom.

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The structural and therapeutic diversity of small heterocyclic molecules has attracted the attention of organic and medicinal chemists. Piperidin-4-ones are emerging prominently as pharmocologically important molecules because of their diverse bioactivities, such as anti-inflammatory (Jerom & Spencer, 1988), tranquilizers (Bochringer et al., 1961) along with bactericidal, fungicidal and herbicidal activities (Mobio et al., 1989). In view of the above, 1-acryloyl-2,6-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-3,5- dimethylpiperidin-4-one, was synthesized and its crystal structure is reported here.
A perspective view of the structure with the atomic numbering scheme is shown in Fig. 1. Ring-puckering analysis (Cremer & Pople, 1975) of the six-membered ring in the molecule indicates that the ring adopts a boat conformation, with a puckering amplitude Q=0.670 (2)Å, θ=85.71 (2)° and φ=72.45 (2)°. Atoms C2 and C6 deviate from the plane (Cremer & Pople, 1975) defined by the atoms N1/C/C3/C4/C5/C6 by -0.397 (2)Å and 0.240 (2)Å, respectively. The piperidin ring in the molecule 1-acryloyl-2,6-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-3,5-dimethylpiperidin-4-one has a weighted average torsion angle of 34.35° (compare to 52.3° in 2,6-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-3-phenylpiperidin-4-one, Ompraba et al., 2003). The substituent at C2 has an equatorial conformation as indicated by the dihedral angle of 86.87 (1)° between piperidin ring and phenyl ring and the substituent at C6 between the piperidin and phenyl ring has a dihedral angle of 77.81 (1)°. The methyl groups substituted at C3 and C5 are oriented in -syn-clinal and +anti-periplanar conformation as indicated by the torsion angle value of N1–C2–C3–C7, which is -65.3 (2)° and N1–C6–C5–C9, which is 173.51 (18)°. The torsion angle value of -3.0 (3)° for C6–N1–C17–O18 indicates that O18 is oriented in a -syn-periplanar conformation.
