4-{[4-(Hy­droxy­meth­yl)piperidin-1-yl]meth­yl}phenol

In the title compound, C₁₃H₁₉NO₂, the piperidine ring has a chair conformation with the exocyclic N—C bond in an equatorial position. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked head-to-tail by phenol O—H...O hydrogen bonds to hy­droxy­methyl­ene O-atom acceptors, forming chains which extend along [100]. These chains form two-dimensional networks lying parallel to (101) through cyclic hydrogen-bonding associations [graph set R₄⁴(30)], involving hy­droxy O—H donors and piperidine N-atom acceptors.
