RESUMO
The title compound, C24H27NO2, crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. The two mol-ecules have very similar conformations and each exhibits an intra-molecular C-Hâ¯π inter-action. The central piperidine rings adopt boat conformations and the p-tolyl rings are inclined to the mean plane of the piperidine ring by 71.21â (11) and 89.86â (12)° in mol-ecule A and by 68.01â (12) and 89.33â (12)° in mol-ecule B. The cyclopropanecarbonyl group is oriented at an angle of 68.5â (2)° with respect to the mean plane of the piperidine ring in mol-ecule A and 66.2â (2)° in mol-ecule B. In the crystal, the A and B mol-ecules are linked by C-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds, enclosing R 2 (1)(6) ring motifs, forming ribbons running along the a-axis direction.
