Reaction Steps

In some embodiments, the crystalline Form A has an X-Ray powder diffraction (XRPD) pattern substantially the same as shown in FIG. 1. In some embodiments, the crystalline Form A has an X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) pattern with characteristic peaks at 5.7±0.1° 2-Theta, 13.6±0.1° 2-Theta, 16.1±0.1° 2-Theta, 18.9±0.1° 2-Theta, 21.3±0.1° 2-Theta, and 21.6±0.1° 2-Theta. In some embodiments, the crystalline Form A has substantially the same X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) pattern post storage at 40° C. and 75% RH for at least a week. In some embodiments, the crystalline Form A has substantially the same X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) pattern post storage at 25° C. and 97% RH for at least a week. In some embodiments, the crystalline Form A has an Infrared (IR) spectrum substantially similar to the one set forth in FIG. 2.

In some embodiments, the crystalline Form A has a melting temperature of about 155-156° C. In some embodiments, the crystalline Form A has a DSC thermogram substantially similar to the one set forth in FIG. 3. In some embodiments, the crystalline Form A has a thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) thermogram substantially similar to the one set forth in FIG. 4. In some embodiments, the crystalline Form A has a DSC thermogram with an endotherm having an onset at about 154° C. and a peak at about 157° C. and an exotherm at about 159° C. In some embodiments, the crystalline Form A is non-hygroscopic. In some embodiments, the crystalline Form A has an observed aqueous solubility of about 0.013 mg/mL at about pH 8. In some embodiments, the crystalline Form A that is characterized as having properties (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j), and (k). In some embodiments, the crystalline Form A was obtained from ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), nitromethane, methanol, ethanol, acetonitrile, dioxane, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), anisole, acetone, heptanes, a methanol/water mixture or an acetone/heptane mixture. In some embodiments, the crystalline Form A was obtained from a methanol/water mixture. In some embodiments, the crystalline Form A is unsolvated. In some embodiments, the crystalline Form A is anhydrous.
