The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C27H30N2O2, comprises two independent molecules. The dihedral angles between the phenyl rings in the two molecules are 55.59 (8) and 55.39 (8)°. The piperidine rings adopt chair conformations. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin with a domian ratio of 0.75 (2):0.25 (2)
