N-[(1-Benzoyl­piperidin-4-yl)meth­yl]benzamide

In the title compound, C₂₀H₂₂N₂O₂, the piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation. The phenyl rings are inclined to one another by 80.1 (1)° and make dihedral angles of 46.1 (1) and 40.2 (1)° with the mean plane of the piperidine ring. In the crystal, pairs of N—H...O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into inversion dimers. C—H...O inter­actions further link the mol­ecules, forming a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
