FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to novel polymorphic forms of risperidone, in particular to methods of malting polymorphic Form B risperidone. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONRISPERDAL~ (risperidone) is an antipsychotic agent belonging to a new chemical class, the benzisoxazole derivatives. The chemical designation is 3-[2-[4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]ethyl]-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-2-methyl-4. H -pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one.U.S. Patent No. 4,804,663, describes a synthesis of risperidone, Risperidone may be prepared by condensation of the following two intermediates, 6-fluoro-3-(4 piperidinyl)-1,2-benzisoxazole (Compound 1) and 3-(2-cholorethyl)-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-2-methyl-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one (Compound I)] in dimethylformamide (DMF) in basic conditions (Na2C03 or KZC03) with catalytic amount of potassium iodide (Kn.

Thus, polymorphs are distinct solids sharing the same molecular formula, yet each polymorph may have distinct physical properties. Therefore, a single compound may give rise to a variety of polymorphic forms where each form has different and distinct physical properties, such as different solubility profiles, different melting point temperatures and/or different x-ray diffraction peaks. Since the solubility of each polymorph may vary, identifying the existence of pharmaceutical polymorphs is essential for providing pharmaceuticals with predicable solubility profiles. It is desirable to investigate all solid state forms of a drug, including all polymorphic forms, and to determine the stability, dissolution and flow properties of each polymorphic form. Polymorphic forms of a compound can be distinguished in a laboratory byX-ray diffraction spectroscopy and by other methods such as, infrared spectrometry. For a general review of polymorphs and the pharmaceutical applications of polymorphs see G.M. WaII, Pharm Manuf. 3, 33 (1986); J.K. Haleblian and W. McCrone, J. Pharm. Sci., 58, 911 (1969);.and~J.K. Haleblian, J. Pharm. Sci., 64, 1269 (1975), A.n object of the processes of the present invention is to provide more efficient and quicker methods for making pure risperidone.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTIONSynthesis of Risperidone The present invention provides new processes fox preparing risperidone from the following two intermediates, 6-fluoro-3-(4-piperidinyl)-1,2-benzisoxazole (I) and 3-(2-chloroethyl)-6, ,8,9-tetrahydro-2-methyl-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one (II) using acetonitrile, isopropanol, iso-butanol, or methyl ethyl ketone as the solvent, which eliminates the need to use DMF as a solvent. By the methods of the present invention, risperidone is prepared by adding , 3-(2-chloroethyl)-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-2-methyl-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one (Compound II or "the chlorine derivative"); 6-fluoro-3-(4-piperidiny1~1,2-benzisoxazole (Compound I or "the piperidine derivative"); sodium carbonate; and potassium iodide (66 mg) into a flask containing the solvent isopropanol, acetonitrile, methyl ethyl ketone or iso-butanol. Preferably, the Compound I and Compound II are present in a ratio of about 1:1. The reaction mixture is then heated by methods known in the art, such as, by placing the flask in an oil bath which is heated from about 60°C to about 85°C, and the reaction is allowed to reflux for a time sufficient to complete the formation of risperidone, about 9 hours to overnight.

By the methods of the present invention, risperidone is added to 0.5 N HCl in a ratio of about 1:6. Water is added in an amount equal to about two thirds the volume of HCI used. The solution is heated to induce dissolution of the risperidone. Sodium carbonate is then added until a pHof about 8 is reached, to facilitate precipitation.

Water (950 mL) was added to the solution to facilitate precipitation until a cloudy dispersion was formed. The suspension was filtered. The filtrate, analyzed by PXRD, contained risperidone Form E. Although certain presently preferred embodiments of the invention have been described herein, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art to which the invention pertains that variations and modifications of the described embodiment may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, it is intended that the invention be limited only to the extent required by the appended claims and the applicable rules of law.
