Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 1-(2-chloro-acet-yl)-3-methyl-2,6-bis-(4-methylphen-yl)piperidin-4-one

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(22)H(24)ClNO(2), the piperidine ring adopts a boat conformation. Intra- and inter-molecular C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds are observed. The inter-molecular inter-actions were qu-anti-fied and analysed using Hirshfeld surface analysis, revealing that H⋯H inter-actions contribute most to the crystal packing (56.1%).
