In the molecule of the title compound, C23H29NO, the cyclohexanone ring has been distorted from the standard chair conformation by the ketone group such that part of the ring is almost flat. The remaining [(4-tert-butylanilino)(phenyl)methyl] portion of the molecule is in an equatorial position on the cyclohexanone ring. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 81.52 (8)°. In the crystal packing, molecules are linked by N—H...O hydrogen bonds into infinite one-dimensional chains along the a axis and these chains are stacked down the c axis. The crystal structure is further stabilized by weak C—H...O and C—H...π interactions.
