Structural and conformational studies of (E)-methyl 2-(3-isopropyl-1-methyl- 2,6-diphenylpiperidin-4-ylidene)hydrazinecarboxylate

In the title compound C23H30N3O2 the piperidine ring exists in a chair conformation. The phenyl rings attached to the centre piperidine ring at 2 and 6 positions. These two phenyl rings make a dihedral angle of 54.81(19)\% with respect to the piperidine ring. The phenyl rings and the methyl group substituted on the hetrocyclic system has an equatorial orientation. Further in this structure the molecules are linked with N---H...O and C---H...O interactions.
