DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0006] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. All patents, patent applications, and publications mentioned herein are incorporated by reference.

[0007] As used herein, the term "solvate" refers to a crystalline form of Compound 2 that includes a solvent.

[0008] As used herein, the terms "crystal form" or "crystalline form" refer to a solid form that is crystalline. In certain embodiments, a crystalline form of a substance may be substantially free of amorphous forms and / or other crystalline forms. In certain embodiments, a crystalline form of a substance may contain less than about 1%, less than about 2%, less than about 3%, less than about 4%, less than about 5%, less than about 6%, less than about 7%, less than about 8%, less than about 9%, less than about 10%, less than about 15%, less than about 20%, less than about 25%, less than about 30%, less than about 35%, less than about 40%, less than about 45%, or less than about 50% by weight of one or more amorphous forms and / or other crystalline forms. In certain embodiments, a crystalline form of a substance may be physically and / or chemically pure. In certain embodiments, the crystalline form of the substance is about 99%, about 98%, about 97%, about 96%, about 95%, about 94%, about 93%, about 92%, about 91%, or about 90% physically and / or chemically pure.

[0009] As used herein, unless otherwise specified, the terms "amorphous" or "amorphous form" mean that the substance, component, or product in question is substantially not crystalline as determined by X-ray diffraction. Specifically, the term "amorphous form" refers to a disordered solid form, i.e., a solid form lacking long-range crystalline order. In certain embodiments, an amorphous form of a substance may be substantially free of other amorphous and / or crystalline forms. In certain embodiments, an amorphous form of a substance may contain, on a weight basis, less than about 1 wt%, less than about 2 wt%, less than about 3 wt%, less than about 4 wt%, less than about 5 wt%, less than about 10 wt%, less than about 15 wt%, less than about 20 wt%, less than about 25 wt%, less than about 30 wt%, less than about 35 wt%, less than about 40 wt%, less than about 45 wt%, or less than about 50 wt% of one or more other amorphous and / or crystalline forms. In certain embodiments, the amorphous form of the substance can be physically and / or chemically pure, ie, about 99%, about 98%, about 97%, about 96%, about 95%, about 94%, about 93%, about 92%, about 91%, or about 90% physically and / or chemically pure.

[0010] As used herein, the term "about" when used in reference to XRPD peak positions refers to the inherent variability of the peaks depending on the calibration of the instrument, the process used to prepare the crystalline forms of the present disclosure, changes in the crystalline form over time, and the type of instrument used for the analysis. The variability of the instrument used for the XRPD analysis was about ±0.2 degrees 2θ.

[0011] As used herein, the term "about" when used in reference to the onset of a DSC endothermic peak refers to the inherent variability of the peak depending on the calibration of the instrument, the process used to prepare the samples of the present disclosure, and the type of instrument used for the analysis. The variability of the instrument used for the DSC analysis was about ±1°C.

[0012] The term "about," as used herein other than as defined above, indicates that a number (e.g., temperature, pH, volume, etc.) may vary within ±10%, preferably ±5%, unless otherwise indicated.

[0013] An experimental measurement, result, or observation (e.g., an XRPD pattern, DSC thermogram, NMR spectrum, DVS isotherm, or TGA thermal curve) is "substantially in agreement" with another XRPD pattern, DSC thermogram, NMR spectrum, DVS isotherm, or TGA thermal curve if one of ordinary skill in the art would consider the XRPD pattern to correspond to the same single crystalline form of the same compound. Thus, an XRPD pattern, DSC thermogram, NMR spectrum, DVS isotherm, or TGA thermal curve that substantially conforms to one or more of the figures provided herein may be identical or, more likely, slightly different. For example, an XRPD pattern that differs slightly from one or more of the figures may not necessarily exhibit every line of the diffraction pattern presented herein and / or may exhibit slight variations in the appearance or intensity of lines, or shifts in the position of lines. Such differences typically result from differences in the conditions under which the data was obtained or the purity of the samples used to obtain the data. One of ordinary skill in the art can determine whether a sample of a crystalline compound is in the same or a different form than those disclosed herein by comparing the XRPD pattern, DSC thermogram, NMR spectrum, DVS isotherm, or TGA thermocurve of the sample to the corresponding XRPD pattern, DSC thermogram, NMR spectrum, DVS isotherm, or TGA thermocurve disclosed herein.

[0014] Surprisingly, the salt of Compound 2, preferably the oxalate salt of Compound 2, and even more preferably the oxalate salt of Compound 2, is a solid with very low viscosity and excellent stability. The crystalline forms of the oxalate salt of Compound 2, particularly Form B of the oxalate salt, can be obtained with very good purity without further purification, making them suitable for large-scale industrial processes. The particle size of Form B is 1-50 μm, preferably 1-30 μm, more preferably 5-20 μm, and even more preferably 5-10 μm. Such particle sizes can be easily and quickly obtained by filtration.

[0061] Equipment and parameters

[0062] For XRPD analysis, a PANalytical Empyrean and X'Pert3 powder X-ray diffractometer were used to characterize the physical forms obtained in this disclosure unless otherwise indicated. The XRPD parameters used are listed below. [Table 6]

[0063] For XRPD analysis, a Bruker D8 advanced X-ray powder diffractometer or equivalent was also used to characterize Form A and Form U. The XRPD parameters used are listed below. [Table 7]

[0064] The physical forms obtained in this disclosure were characterized using TGA and DSC unless otherwise specified. TGA data was collected using a TA Instruments TA Q500 / Q5000 TGA, and DSC was performed using a TA Instruments TA Q200 / Q2000 DSC. Details of the parameters used are provided below. [Table 8]

[0065] Several instruments were also used to test the TGA and DGA analysis of Forms A and U, with TGA data collected using a NETZSCH TG 209 F1 instrument and DSC performed using a TA Q20 or TA DSC 250 instrument. The parameters used are detailed below. [Table 9]

[0066] The DVS of the form obtained in this disclosure was measured using an SMS (Surface Measurement Systems) DVS Intrinsic without any special instructions (Method A). The relative humidity at 25°C was calibrated against the deliquescence points of LiCl, Mg(NO3)2, and KCl. The parameters for the DVS test are as follows: [Table 10]

[0067] The DVS of Forms A and U was also measured by DVS Intrinsic (Method B) on an SMS (Surface Measurement Systems). The relative humidity at 25°C was calibrated against the deliquescence points of LiCl, Mg(NO3)2, and KCl. The parameters for the DVS test are as follows: [Table 11]

[0068] Single crystal X-ray diffraction data were collected at 120 K using a Rigaku XtaLAB Synergy R (Cu K radiation, 1.54184 Å) diffractometer. The instrument parameters are as follows: [Table 12]

[0069] The following examples are intended to further illustrate certain embodiments of the present disclosure, but are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure.

[0070] Seven acids and seven organic solvents were used for the salt formation of compound 2 (see Table 1).

[0071] In one example, compound 2 (1.0 g, 1.73 mmol) and oxalic acid (0.16 g, 1.73 mmol) in MTBE (10 mL) solution were added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred for approximately 6 hours and filtered to yield a wet cake of methyl 4-(2-{(2S)-2-[2-(propan-2-yl)phenyl]pyrrolidin-1-yl}-7-azaspiro[3.5]nonan-7-yl)-2-[(1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-5-yl)oxy]benzoate oxalate (compound 3). This solid has low water absorption and poor electrostatic capacity, making it difficult to adsorb to objects.

[0072] Other salts of compound 2 were prepared using the same procedure as that described for compound 3, but using other acids. The following amounts of the other acids were used: D-(-)-tartaric acid (0.26 g, 1.73 mmol), p-toluenesulfonic acid (0.3 g, 1.73 mmol), D-DTTA (0.67 g, 1.73 mmol), citric acid (0.33 g, 1.73 mmol), malic acid (0.23 g, 1.73 mmol), and maleic acid (0.20 g, 1.73 mmol). Other organic solvents were used in 10 mL volumes. The corresponding physical forms of the salts of compound 2 are shown in Table 1. The results indicate that when the acid used for salt formation is oxalic acid or D-DTTA, the resulting salts are in solid form in certain organic solvents. Considering the simplification of the process, D-DTTA / MTBE and oxalic acid / MTBE are preferred salt-forming systems. However, D-DTTA (MW 386.35 g / mol) may generate more waste in the reaction than oxalic acid (MW 90.03 g / mol).

[0073] [Table 1]

[0074] Synthesis of compound 3 [ka]

[0075] The free base of 3 (21 g) was dissolved in methyl tert-butyl ether (110 g). The temperature was adjusted to 20-30°C, and then a solution of oxalic acid (3.33 g) in methyl tert-butyl ether (110 g) was added within 2 hours. The solution was stirred at 20-30°C for 16 hours. The resulting solid was filtered and washed with methyl tert-butyl ether (20 g). The filtered solid was dried at a temperature below 45°C for 20-28 hours to obtain an amorphous solid.

[0076] Example 1A: Preparation of Compound 3 Form A (Form A)

[0077] The crystalline form A of Compound 3 sample was obtained by slow evaporation of a solution of the amorphous form of Compound 3 in EtOH at room temperature.

[0078] Procedure: 30 mg of amorphous solid Compound 3 was weighed into a 3 mL glass vial, and 1 mL of EtOH was added to obtain a clear solution. The solution was allowed to evaporate at room temperature for 3 days to induce precipitation, yielding crystalline Form A.

[0079] The resulting Form A was characterized using powder X-ray diffraction (XRPD) patterns (performed on a Bruker D8 advanced powder X-ray diffractometer), which showed that Form A is a crystalline form (see Figure 1A). The characteristic peaks and peak intensity percentages obtained from the XRPD analysis are shown in Table 1A.

[0080] [Table 1A-1] [Table 1A-2]

[0081] The TGA results showed a weight loss of 2.7% between 100 and 150 °C and a weight loss of 14% between 160 and 250 °C. The DSC results showed three endothermic peaks at 51 °C, 114 °C, and 192 °C (onset temperatures), respectively (Figure 1B). 1 Approximately 0.27% EtOH was observed in the H NMR spectrum ( Figure 1C ).

[0082] Example 2A: Preparation of Compound 3 Form B (Form B)

[0083] The crystalline form B of compound 3 sample was obtained by slow evaporation of a solution of amorphous form of compound 3 in DCM at room temperature.

[0084] Procedure: 30 mg of amorphous solid Compound 3 was weighed into a 3 mL glass vial, and 1 mL of DCM was added to obtain a clear solution. The solution was allowed to evaporate at room temperature to induce precipitation, yielding crystalline Form B.
