The title compound, C18H27N3O, is a derivative of the antituberculosis drug isoniazid (systematic name: pyridine-4-carbohydrazidei). The consists of repeating C(4) chains along the b axis, formed by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds with adjacent amide functional groups that are related by a b-glide plane. The cyclododecyl ring has the same approximately `square' conformation, as seen in the parent hydrocarbon cyclododecane.

A stoichiometric amount in the ratio of 1:1 of isonicotinic acid hydrazide to cyclododecanone was dissolved in 5 ml of methanol. The solution was refluxed for a few hours, and left to cool to room temperature. Colourless, block-like crystals were harvested after slow evaporation over a few days at ambient conditions.
The C-bound H atoms were geometrically placed (C—H bond lengths of 0.95 (aromatic CH) and 0.99 (methylene CH2) Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The N-bound H atoms were located in the difference map and coordinates refined freely together with their isotropic thermal parameters.
Fig. 1 shows the atomic numbering scheme of the title compound. The amide functional groups form a torsion angle of 38.54 (17)° with the pyridine ring. Fig. 2 shows the C(4) (Bernstein et al., 1995) hydrogen bonded ring formed with adjacent amide functional groups, leading to a chain along the b-axis. The cyclododecyl ring has a square conformation, as seen in the related cycloalkane C12H24 ring (Dale, 1966).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |

Fig. 1 shows the atomic numbering scheme of the title compound. The amide functional groups form a torsion angle of 38.54 (17)° with the pyridine ring. Fig. 2 shows the C(4) (Bernstein et al., 1995) hydrogen bonded ring formed with adjacent amide functional groups, leading to a chain along the b-axis. The cyclododecyl ring has a square conformation, as seen in the related cycloalkane C12H24 ring (Dale, 1966).
