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 R

4(30)], involving hydroxy O—H donors and piperidine N-atom acceptors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
