(4E)-N-[(2-Chloro-phen-yl)meth-oxy]-1,3-dimethyl-2,6-diphenyl-piperidin-4-imine.

In the title compound, C(26)H(27)ClN(2)O, the piperidine ring has a chair conformation and all of the ring substituents at Csp(3) atoms occupy equatorial positions. The dihedral angle formed between the phenyl rings is 48.11†(9)°. The chloro-benzene ring occupies a position orthogonal to the meth-oxy(methyl-idene)amine residue [N-O-C-C torsion angle = -87.90†(15)°]. The conformation about the imine C=N bond [1.278†(2)†à ] is E, and the chloro substituent is anti to the piperidine N atom. Helical supra-molecular chains along [010] are sustained by C-H⋯π inter-actions in the crystal packing.
