In the title molecule, C21H20ClF2NO2, the piperidine ring adopts a slightly-distorted boat conformation, the two benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 87.43 (1)° and a weak intramolecular C—Hπ interaction is observed. In the crystal, weak C—HO hydrogen bonds and weak C—Hπ interactions connect molecules forming a three-dimensional network.
