Crystal structure of 3-methyl-2,6-bis­(4-methyl-1,3-thia­zol-5-yl)piperidin-4-one

In the title compound, C₁₄H₁₇N₃OS₂, the central piperidinone ring adopts a chair conformation and the thia­zole rings are inclined to its mean plane by 80.16 (12) and 67.15 (12)°. The O atom and methyl group C atom deviate significantly from the mean plane of the central piperidinone ring, by 0.8138 (2) and 0.3175 (2) Å, respectively. The dihedral angle between the thia­zole rings is 51.88 (13)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked via C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming zigzag C(10) chains running parallel to [001].
