Polymorphism is the occurrence of different crystalline forms of a single compound and it is a property of some compounds and complexes. 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 andlor different x-ray diffraction peaks. Since the solubility of each polymorph may vary, identifying the existence of pharniaceutical polymorphs is essential for providing pharmaceuticals with predicable solubility profiles. It is desirable to investigate alI 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 by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy and by other methods such as, infrared spectrometry.

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 8S°C, and the reaction is allowed to reflux for a time sufficient to complete the formation of risperidone, about 9 hours to overnight.

Polymorphism is the occurrence of different crystalline forms of a single compound and it is a property of some compounds and complexes. 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 andlor different x-ray diffraction peaks. Since the solubility of each polymorph may vary, identifying the existence of pharniaceutical polymorphs is essential for providing pharmaceuticals with predicable solubility profiles. It is desirable to investigate alI 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 by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy and by other methods such as, infrared spectrometry.

precipitate was formed. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was cooled in an ice bath and filtered to give a mixture of rispezidone Form A and risperidone Form B in an 82 % yield.
Example 11 Preparation of Risperidone Form A by Crystallization in Organic Solvents Risperidone (6 g) was added portion-vVise and dissolved in a minimum amount of solvent by heating in a boiling water bath (about 95°C). Suitable solvents and the corresponding suitable volumes are listed below in Table 1. . Solvents having a boiling point lower than 95°C were heated to their boiling point. The solutions were left to cool to room temperature to facilitate precipitation of risperidone Form A. The mixture was then further cooled in an ice bath and then filtered. The precipitate was analyzed by PXRD and found to be risperidone Form A.

lZisperidone (5.1 g) was dissolved in 30 mL dichlorometha~ne. n Hexane (150 mL) was added to the solution to facilitate precipitation until a cloudy dispersion vvas foamed.
The resulting suspension was filtered. The filtrate, analyzed by PXRD, contained risperidone Form A and a minor quantity of risperidone Form B.
