CHARACTERIZATION OF POLYMORPHS AND SOLVATES OF 3-AMINO-1-(META-TRIFLUOROMETHYLPHENYL)-6-METHYL-1H-PYRIDAZIN-4-ONE

The characterization of two polymorphs of the title compound (F2692; 1) by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), microanalysis, proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, thermomicroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffractometry is described. Both polymorphs are crystalline, with form II being more stable at temperatures <160-degrees-C. The thermal behavior was studied at different rates of heating, and the enthalpies of transition were calculated from DSC data. The transformation of aqueous suspensions of form I to the water-stable form II is described, and the heats of solution and intrinsic aqueous dissolution rates of both polymorphs were determined. 1 also formed solvates with dimethyl sulfoxide and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone. The solvates were studied by thermogravimetry, DSC, and infrared spectroscopy.
