In the title moleclue, C19H21NO, the 4-piperidone ring adopts a chair conformation in which the two benzene rings and the methyl group attached to C atoms all have equatorial orientations. In the centrosymmetric dimers are formed through weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 58.51 (5)°].

The sythesis was based on a procedure in the literature (Noller & Baliah, 1948). Benzaldehyde (0.20 mol), 3-methyl-2-butanone (0.10 mol) and ammonium acetate (0.10 mol) were dissolved in 80 ml of distilled ethanol and heated over a boiling water bath, with shaking until a yellow colour developed and ultimately changed to orange. The solution was left undisturbed for 14 h. The precipitated solid was filtered and purified by recrystallization from ethanol. The piperidone intermediate was then dissolved in acetone and was alkyalted with methyliodide in the presence of potassium carbonate.
All H atoms in were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C—H bond lenghts of 0.93, 0.97 and 0.96Å for aromatic, methylene and methyl H atoms, respectively and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl bound H atoms.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
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 synthesis of 4-piperidones is of current interest due to their potential medical applications (Grishina et al., 1994, Ponnuswamy et al., 2002). 4-Piperidones have been found to exhibit blood cholesterol-lowering activities (Nalanishi et al., 1974). Various piperidones and piperidine derivatives are present in numerous alkaloids (Badorrey et al., 1999). Piperidones are also reported to possess analgesic, anti-inflammatory, central nervous system (CNS), local anaesthetic, anticancer and antimicrobial activity (Perumal et al., 2001).
In the title molecule, C19H20NO (Fig. 1), the piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation (Cremer & Pople, 1975; Nardelli, 1995). The phenyl rings at positions 2 and 6 and the methyl group attached at position 3 all have equatorial orientations. In the related crystal structure of r-2,c-6-Bis(4-chlorophenyl)-t-3-isopropyl-1-nitrosopiperidin-4-one, the piperidine ring also adopts a chair conformation (Gayathri et al., 2008) but the three substituents on the C atoms of the ring are in axial orientations. In the crystal structure, centrosymmetric dimers are formed through weak intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2).
