Abstract: In the title molecule, C₂₁H₂₅NO, the piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation. The benzene rings and one of the methyl groups attached to the piperidine ring have equatorial orientations. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 72.53 (9)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N-HO hydrogen bonds. Weak C-H interactions involving the benzene rings are also present in the crystal structure.
