Abstract

In the title compound, C(27)H(21)NO, the piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation. The mean plane through the piperidine ring makes dihedral angles of 49.27 (5) and 63.07 (5)° with the naphthalene ring systems. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into dimers via pairs of inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions, generating ten-membered R(2) (2)(10) ring motifs. C-H⋯π inter-actions further stabilize the crystal structure.
