In the title compound, C(22)H(23)FN(2)OS, the piperidine ring shows chair confirmation and the two benzene rings make a dihedral angle of 17.0 (6)°. The thia-zole fragment is essentially planar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.004 (2) Å and a maximum deviation of 0.006 (2) Å.. In the crystal, inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions lead to the formation of a layer structure.
