The piperidine ring in the title compound, C(21)H(23)NO(2), is in a slightly distorted chair conformation. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 5.6 (4)°. The dihedral angles between the propenone unit and the benzene and meth-oxy-substituted benzene rings are 5.6 (7) and 10.7 (8)°, respectively. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak C-H⋯π inter-actions contribute to the stability of the crystal structure.
