3-(4-Chlorobenzoyl)-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-phenethylpiperidin-4-ol

In the title compound, C26H25Cl2NO2, the piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation with a cis configuration of the carbonyl and hydroxy substituents. The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings of the chlorobenzene groups is 24.3 (2)degrees. The phenyl ring forms dihedral angles of 59.4 (3) and 44.1 (3)degrees with the benzene rings. In the crystal, molecules are linked by intermolecular O-H...N and C-H...O hydrogen bonds and C-H...pi interactions into layers parallel to the bc plane
