[(4E)-1-Methyl-2,6-diphenyl-3-(propan-2-yl)piperidin-4-yl­idene]amino 3-methyl­benzoate

In the title compound, C₂₉H₃₂N₂O₂, the piperidine ring exists in a chair conformation (the bond-angle sum at the sp²-hybridized C atom is 359.79°). The phenyl rings and the methyl group substituted on the heterocyclic ring are in equatorial orientations. In the crystal, pairs of C—H...π inter­actions result in the formation of inversion dimers.

[(4E)-3-Ethyl-1-methyl-2,6-di­phenyl­piperidin-4-yl­idene]amino 3-methyl­benzoate

In the title compound, C₂₈H₃₀N₂O₂, the piperidine ring exists in a chair conformation with an equatorial orientation of the phenyl rings and methyl group substituted on the heterocycle. In the crystal, C—H...π inter­actions result in chains of mol­ecules running parallel to the a-axis direction.
