4-{[4-(Hy-droxy-meth-yl)piperidin-1-yl]meth-yl}phenol.

In the title compound, C(13)H(19)NO(2), the piperidine ring has a chair conformation with the exocyclic N-C bond in an equatorial position. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked head-to-tail by phenol O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to hy-droxy-methyl-ene O-atom acceptors, forming chains which extend along [100]. These chains form two-dimensional networks lying parallel to (101) through cyclic hydrogen-bonding associations [graph set R(4) (4)(30)], involving hy-droxy O-H donors and piperidine N-atom acceptors.
