The piperidine and the cyclohexane rings in the title compound, C16H22N2O, adopt a chair–chair conformation. The methyl group at N1 and the phenyl ring at C2 are equatorially oriented while the rest of the molecule is planar. The molecules are well stacked and the packing in the unit cell is stabilized by O—HN hydrogen-bonded chains and weaker C—HO and C—HN bonds.
