Description
Patent Application of Grianenthal GmbH, Aachen GRA 3310 Foreign DE
SALT OF FUMARIC ACID AND 3-(2-DIMETHYLAMINO)METHYL(CYCLOHEX-1-YL))PHENOL AND ITS CRYSTALLINE FORMS
The present invention relates to a salt of fumaric acid and 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol, preferably in a composition of 1:1, stable crystalline forms of the salt and processes for the preparation thereof, a pharmaceutical composition and the use of the salt as a pharmaceutical active compound in a composition.
EP-Al-0 753 506 discloses 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenols having an analgesic action. It is mentioned in the text that salts can also be prepared from the free bases, fumaric acid also being mentioned as a possible anion. In the examples, exclusively hydrochlorides are provided, that is to say a salt having a monovalent anion. EP-Al-0 753 506 contains no indications at all as to in what stoichiometry 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenols having bivalent anions can exist, for example as hemi- or 1:1-salts. Closer investigation of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-1-yl)]-phenol hydrochloride has shown that this crystalline solid substance is distinguished by a pronounced polymorphism and forms several crystalline, also metastable forms. In addition, this hydrochloride tends markedly to the formation of hydrates and solvates, which is a considerable disadvantage for targeted preparation of a specific crystalline form. Crystalline 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol hydrochloride has moreover proved to be decidedly hygroscopic. This properties profile of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-1-yl)]-phenol hydrochloride illustrates that it is very difficult to provide pharmaceutical compositions having reproducible properties, which can also be retained over a storage period, with this active substance. To achieve these aims, expensive protective measures would at least be necessary.
It has now been found, surprisingly, that with fumaric acid, 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol forms a fumarate as a crystalline solid substance, preferably in a composition in the ratio of 1:1 of fumarate and 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol. It has furthermore been found, surprisingly, that the fumarate is not hygroscopic, is stable in air and forms no hydrates or solvates. It has also been found, surprisingly, that 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-1-yl)]-phenol fumarate is capable of forming only few forms which are stable at a low or at a higher temperature, form B being the form which is stable at room temperature. Form A, which is stable at a higher temperature, can likewise be converted into form B, it being possible for the two forms to be in a mixture at a low temperature. The crystalline form B is also distinguished by a high chemical resistance at temperatures below 100 C. 3-[2-(Dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-1-yl)]-phenol fumarate furthermore also has valuable biological properties, such as, for example, good solubility, particularly in polar and protic solvents, including water, and a good bioavailability. On the basis of its properties profile, 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol fumarate is very particularly suitable for formulation of pharmaceutical compositions.
The invention firstly provides salts of fumaric acid with 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-1-yl)]-phenol, 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-1-yl)]-phenol fumarate of the formula I

(I) being preferred.
The compounds according to the invention such as the compounds of the formula I contain a chiral C atom in each of the 1 and 2 positions of the cyclohexane ring. The compounds according to the invention such as the compounds of the formula I include all the stereoisomers and mixtures of stereoisomers. Diastereomers or mixtures of enantiomeric diastereomers having the trans configuration of the phenyl ring and of the dimethylaminomethyl group (1R,2R or 1S,2S configuration) are preferred, the enantiomer having the absolute configuration (1R,2R) being very particularly preferred.
The structure of the (1R,2R) enantiomer of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-1-yl)]-phenol is shown below:

This properties profile of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-1-yl)]-phenol hydrochloride illustrates that it is very difficult to provide pharmaceutical compositions having reproducible properties, which can also be retained over a storage period, with this active substance. To achieve these aims, expensive protective measures would at least be necessary.
It has now been found, surprisingly, that with fumaric acid, 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol forms a fumarate as a crystalline solid substance, preferably in a composition in the ratio of 1:1 of fumarate and 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol. It has furthermore been found, surprisingly, that the fumarate is not hygroscopic, is stable in air and forms no hydrates or solvates. It has also been found, surprisingly, that 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-1-yl)]-phenol fumarate is capable of forming only few forms which are stable at a low or at a higher temperature, form B being the form which is stable at room temperature. Form A, which is stable at a higher temperature, can likewise be converted into form B, it being possible for the two forms to be in a mixture at a low temperature. The crystalline form B is also distinguished by a high chemical resistance at temperatures below 100 C. 3-[2-(Dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-1-yl)]-phenol fumarate furthermore also has valuable biological properties, such as, for example, good solubility, particularly in polar and protic solvents, including water, and a good bioavailability. On the basis of its properties profile, 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol fumarate is very particularly suitable for formulation of pharmaceutical compositions.

The compounds according to the invention such as the compounds of the formula I contain a chiral C atom in each of the 1 and 2 positions of the cyclohexane ring. The compounds according to the invention such as the compounds of the formula I include all the stereoisomers and mixtures of stereoisomers. Diastereomers or mixtures of enantiomeric diastereomers having the trans configuration of the phenyl ring and of the dimethylaminomethyl group (1R,2R or 1S,2S configuration) are preferred, the enantiomer having the absolute configuration (1R,2R) being very particularly preferred.
The structure of the (1R,2R) enantiomer of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-1-yl)]-phenol is shown below:

The compounds of the formula I can be obtained, analogously to the processes described generally in EP-Al-0 753 506 for the preparation of salts, from the free base by reaction with fumaric acid in the presence of water. The free base 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol can be isolated, for example, from the hydrochloride described in Examples 9 and 10 of EP-Al-0 753 506. For this, the hydrochloride is dissolved in an organic solvent, an aqueous inorganic base, for example alkali metal bases or also alkali metal bicarbonates (such as LiOH, NaOH, KOH, NaHCO3 and KHCO3), is added and the organic phase is separated off. The organic phase can be dried, and the base is either isolated in the conventional manner, or used directly for the salt formation, optionally after concentration by evaporation of the solvent.
The invention also provides a process for the preparation of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-1-yl)]-phenol fumarate of the formula I, comprising combining 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol and fumaric acid, at least one of the components preferably being present in dissolved or suspended form.
The invention also provides a process for the preparation of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol fumarate of the formula I comprising the steps a) dissolving or suspending of 3-[2-5 (dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol in a solvent, or initial introduction of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol into the reaction vessel in undissolved form, b) mixing of the solution, suspension or undissolved substance with fumaric acid or a suspension or a solution of fumaric acid in a solvent, optionally cooling and keeping the mixture at a low temperature, and c) isolation of the compound of the formula I, the temperature preferably being above 90 C in no process stage and it also being possible to interchange steps a) and b).
It has been found, surprisingly, that the salt formation leads to only one crystalline form, namely form B, if the temperature is controlled and no temperatures above 90 C, preferably above 60 C, and particularly preferably above 40 C are used.
The invention therefore also provides a process for the preparation of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-1-yl)]-phenol fumarate of the formula I in the crystalline form B, comprising the steps a) dissolving or suspending of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-1-yl)]-phenol in a solvent, or initial introduction of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol into the reaction vessel in undissolved form, b) mixing of the solution, suspension or undissolved substance with fumaric acid or a suspension or a solution of fumaric acid in a solvent, optionally cooling and keeping the mixture at a low temperature until formation of the crystalline form B is complete, and c) isolation of the compound of the formula I in the crystalline form B, the temperature being above 90 C in no process stage and it also being possible to interchange steps a) and b).
The temperature in process stage b) during the mixing is preferably not more than 70 C, more preferably not more than 60 C, and particularly preferably not more than 40 C. Cooling can mean a temperature down to about -20 C, more preferably down to -10 C, and particularly preferably down to 0 C. During the dissolving according to process stage a), the temperature is in general higher than during the mixing according to process stage b). If a temperature above 40 C is used during the dissolving, the solution is cooled to 40 C or below before the mixing, and is optionally kept at this temperature for some time.
The free base and fumaric acid can be employed in the molar ratio of 1:1, or fumaric acid can also be used in excess, for example in a molar ratio of up to 1.3, preferably up to 1.1. If an excess of the free base is used, no hemi-fumarates are formed, even if a molar ratio of base to fumaric acid of 2:1 is established.
The amount of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol in the solution can be, for example, 5 to 70 wt.o, preferably 10 to 60 wt.%, more preferably 10 to 50 wt.%, and particularly preferably 15 to 40 wt.%, based on the solution. The solution of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-1-yl)]-phenol can be heated and then optionally cooled to the temperature desired for the mixing with fumaric acid.
Inert (compatible) solvents for 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-1-yl)]-phenol and fumaric acid are, for example, aliphatic, cycloaliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons (hexane, heptane, petroleum ether, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, benzene, toluene, xylene), aliphatic halohydrocarbons (methylene chloride, chloroform, di- and tetrachloroethane), nitriles (acetonitrile, propionitrile, benzonitrile), ethers (diethyl ether, dibutyl ether, t-butyl methyl ether, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, ethylene glycol diethyl ether, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane), ketones (acetone, 2-butanone, methyl isobutyl ketone), carboxylic acid esters and lactones (ethyl or methyl acetate, valerolactone), N-substituted lactams (N-methylpyrrolidone), carboxylic acid amides (dimethylacetamide, dimethylformamide), acyclic ureas (dimethylimidazoline), and sulfoxides and sulfones (dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethyl sulfone, tetramethylene sulfoxide, tetramethylene sulfone) and alcohols (methanol, ethanol, 1- or 2-propanol, n-, i- and t-butanol, 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, 1-heptanol 1-octanol, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, diethylene glycol monomethyl or monoethyl ether) and water.
The solvents can be used by themselves or in a mixture of at least two solvents. Physiologically acceptable solvents with which the person skilled in the art is familiar are advantageously used.

The solvents can be used by themselves or in a mixture of at least two solvents. Physiologically acceptable solvents with which the person skilled in the art is familiar are advantageously used.
The mixing in process stage b) can be carried out by means of slow or rapid addition of one solution to the other solution. One or both solutions can be heated. However, the mixing can also be carried out by a procedure in which one or both solutions are at room temperature or are cooled, for example down to -20 C, and more preferably down to -10 to +10 C, extremely preferably -5 to +5 C.
After the mixing, the mixture can be heated and cooled again, and can be further stirred for a certain period of time. Crystal formation can also be promoted by seeding.
As a rule, a white precipitate which is crystalline and can easily be filtered is already formed during the.mixing.
The isolation can be carried out by decanting, filtering or centrifuging. The crystalline residue can then also be dried, for example by means of heating, vacuum drying or heating in vacuo, or by means of an optionally heated and inert gas stream (air, nitrogen, noble gases). The compounds of the formula I are obtained in high yields and a high purity. As a rule, no or only few purification steps, such as, for example, recrystallization, are necessary, and the product can be used directly for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions.
The present invention also provides a salt of fumaric acid and 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol, especially a salt of the formula I, obtainable by one of the processes described above.
The compounds of the formula I and the preparation process according to the invention offer considerable and in some cases unexpected advantages over corresponding hydrochlorides. Since it was not possible to characterize any hydrates and solvates, the choice of solvents which can be employed is wide and non-critical. The stability in air and to moisture allows open handling without particular protective measures. The spontaneous salt formation and formation of crystalline precipitates and the good filterability thereof allow processes on an industrial scale.
The compounds of the formula I are obtained in the process according to the invention of salt formation as a crystalline solid predominantly in a polymorphic form, which is called form B in the following. Amorphous forms of the compounds of the formula I are easily obtainable, for example by means of freeze drying or rapid cooling of solutions. Amorphous compounds of the formula I are not very stable and tend towards crystallization in the presence of moisture. At temperatures above 40 C, mixtures of the crystalline form B and the crystalline form A, which is thermodynamically more stable at higher temperatures, form. The amorphous form is particularly suitable as a starting material for the targeted preparation of crystalline forms.
It has been found that the compounds of the formula I, as crystalline solids, form polymorphic forms which can be prepared in a targeted manner from 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol fumarate, and because of their stability are particularly suitable as an active compound for formulation of pharmaceutical compositions. It is known [see, for example, Z. Jane Li et al. in J. Pharm. Sci., vol. 88(3), pages 337 to 346 (1999)]
that enantiomers give identical X-ray diffractograms and Raman spectra, and thus form the same polymorphic forms.
Polymorphic forms of all the enantiomers are thus included in the context of the invention.
The invention also provides a crystalline form B of 3-[2-5 (dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol fumarate of the formula I which has a characteristic X-ray diffraction diagram with the pronounced reflections given below.

The invention also provides a crystalline form B of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol fumarate of the formula I which has a Raman spectrum as shown in Figure 2.
The crystalline form B is the most thermodynamically stable form at low temperature up to, for example, about 40 C and additionally has an excellent chemical and physical stability. Polymorph B is even insensitive and stable towards the influence of atmospheric humidity at high relative atmospheric humidities of up to 90 %, even over a relatively long period of time. No water uptake, no formation of hydrates and no conversion into other crystalline forms are observed under normal conditions.
Polymorph B also shows no phase transformations in air and in the presence of moisture. However, polymorph B changes under increased pressure or on grinding, and a conversion into the crystalline form A is observed under the action of a higher pressure. Polymorph B is not hygroscopic and absorbs only small amounts of surface water. Polymorph B
also forms no solvates under these conditions, and no conversion is observed in contact with solvents. The solubility in polar solvents is very good. The melting point is about 176 C and the melt enthalpy is about 113 J/g, determined by means of DSC at a heating up rate of 10 C/minute. The conversion temperature into the crystalline form A is, for example, above 40 C.
Polymorph B can be prepared as a solid powder with the desired average particle sizes, which as a rule are in the range of from 1 m to about 500 m. Because of its properties, the crystalline form B is most suitable for the preparation of pharmaceutical formulations.
The compound of the formula I forms a further crystalline form B' which is very similar to the crystalline form B, can be prepared reproducibly and, for example, in the X-ray diffraction diagram substantially differs by the intensity of the peaks and the position at 19 to 19.4 20. The properties substantially correspond to form B.
The compound of the formula I forms a further crystalline form A which is thermodynamically stable at higher temperatures and is likewise stable under normal conditions in air and with exclusion of atmospheric humidity. The 10 crystalline form A can also be handled such that it can be employed for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions.
The invention also provides a crystalline form A of 3-[2-15 (dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol fumarate of the formula I which has a characteristic X-ray diffraction diagram with the pronounced reflections given below.

The invention also provides a crystalline form A of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-1-yl)]-phenol fumarate of the formula I comprising one or both of the characteristic bands in the Raman spectrum, expressed in wave numbers (cm-'-) , at 1644 (w) and 1705 (sh, m) .
The invention also provides a crystalline form A of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-1-yl)]-phenol fumarate of the formula I which has an X-ray diffraction diagram as shown in Figure 3.
The invention also provides a crystalline form A of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-1-yl)]-phenol fumarate of the formula I which has a Raman spectrum as shown in Figure 4.
The crystalline form A is the most thermodynamically stable form at a higher temperature, for example about at least 40 C or more. Polymorph A additionally has an excellent chemical stability at elevated temperatures also in the presence of atmospheric humidity. The physical stability is low, since a conversion into polymorph B occurs under increased pressure, and already at room temperatures, with or without the influence of moisture. However, no water uptake and no formation of hydrates are observed.
Polymorph A also forms no solvates. Conversion into the crystalline form B may occur in contact with solvents. The solubility in polar solvents is very good and comparable to the solubility of polymorph B. The melting point is about 175.5 C and the melt enthalpy is about 111 J/g, determined by means of DSC at a heating up rate of 10 C/minute.
Polymorph A can be prepared as a solid powder with the desired average particle sizes, which as a rule are in the range of from 1 m to about 500 m. Storage of the crystalline form A under dry inert gas (for example nitrogen) is advisable.
The polymorphic form A can convert into the crystalline form B(B') and vice versa. The forms A and B form an enantiotropic system with a transition point of about 40 to 5 60 C. The present invention therefore also provides mixtures of the crystalline forms A and B in any desired ratios of amounts per se. The crystal lattice of forms A
and B are very similar, which manifests itself, for example, in that the Raman spectra and X-ray diffraction 10 diagrams have only small differences. In addition to different intensities of peaks in the same position, form A
has two peaks in the region of 210 20 and form B three peaks.
15 In respect of the melting points and melt enthalpies stated, it is noted that very similar values for the various crystal forms are found in differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). On temperature-dependent recording of X-ray diffraction diagrams, starting from form B, it was 20 found that as the temperature increases, a complete conversion into the crystalline form A initially takes place (about 50 C), and at about 150 C a conversion into a new form C which is stable only at high temperatures and up to the melting point is then observed. It therefore cannot be ruled out that the values for the melting point and melt enthalpy are to be assigned to form C.
The polymorphic forms can be prepared by crystallization processes known per se from the salt 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol fumarate, for example stirring of suspensions (establishing of phase equilibria), precipitation, recrystallization or evaporation of solvents. Dilute, saturated or supersaturated solution can be used, with or without seeding with a crystal nucleating agent. The temperatures for the formation of solutions can be up to 100 C. The crystallization can be initiated by cooling to about -100 C to 30 C, and preferably -30 C to 20 C, it being possible for cooling to be carried out continuously or stepwise. For the preparation of solutions or suspensions, amorphous or crystalline starting materials can be used in order to achieve high concentrations in solutions and to obtain other crystalline forms.
The invention also provides a process for the preparation of the crystalline form B of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol, which comprises a) treating a pulverulent, solid, amorphous form of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol fumarate with an inert gas containing water vapor until formation of the crystalline form B is complete; or b) preparing a suspension of the amorphous form of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-y1)]-phenol fumarate in a solvent, as a vehicle, and stirring the suspension until formation of the crystalline form B is complete; or c) dissolving 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol fumarate in a solvent and then precipitating it and optionally stirring the mixture until formation of the crystalline form B
is complete;
the temperature in process stages a), b) and c) being not more than 90 C, preferably not more than 60 C, and particularly preferably not more than 40 C.
The invention also provides a crystalline form B of 3 [2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-1-yl)]-phenol fumarate of the formula I comprising the characteristic band in the Raman spectrum, expressed in wave numbers (cm-1), at 171 (m).
The invention also provides a crystalline form B of 3 [2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-1-yl)]-phenol fumarate of the formula I which has an X-ray diffraction diagram as shown in Figure 1.
The invention also provides a crystalline form B of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol fumarate of the formula I which has a Raman spectrum as shown in Figure 2.
The crystalline form B is the most thermodynamically stable form at low temperature up to, for example, about 40 C and additionally has an excellent chemical and physical stability. Polymorph B is even insensitive and stable towards the influence of atmospheric humidity at high relative atmospheric humidities of up to 90 %, even over a relatively long period of time. No water uptake, no formation of hydrates and no conversion into other crystalline forms are observed under normal conditions.
Polymorph B also shows no phase transformations in air and in the presence of moisture. However, polymorph B changes under increased pressure or on grinding, and a conversion into the crystalline form A is observed under the action of a higher pressure. Polymorph B is not hygroscopic and absorbs only small amounts of surface water. Polymorph B
also forms no solvates under these conditions, and no conversion is observed in contact with solvents. The solubility in polar solvents is very good. The melting point is about 176 C and the melt enthalpy is about 113 J/g, determined by means of DSC at a heating up rate of 10 C/minute. The conversion temperature into the crystalline form A is, for example, above 40 C.
Polymorph B can be prepared as a solid powder with the desired average particle sizes, which as a rule are in the range of from 1 m to about 500 m. Because of its properties, the crystalline form B is most suitable for the preparation of pharmaceutical formulations.
The compound of the formula I forms a further crystalline form B' which is very similar to the crystalline form B, can be prepared reproducibly and, for example, in the X-ray diffraction diagram substantially differs by the intensity of the peaks and the position at 19 to 19.4 20. The properties substantially correspond to form B.
The compound of the formula I forms a further crystalline form A which is thermodynamically stable at higher temperatures and is likewise stable under normal conditions in air and with exclusion of atmospheric humidity. The 10 crystalline form A can also be handled such that it can be employed for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions.
The invention also provides a crystalline form A of 3-[2-15 (dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol fumarate of the formula I which has a characteristic X-ray diffraction diagram with the pronounced reflections given below.

is complete;
the temperature in process stages a), b) and c) being not more than 90 C, preferably not more than 60 C, and particularly preferably not more than 40 C.
The temperature in process steps a) and b) is preferably not more than 40 C, and the process is particularly preferably carried out at room temperature. Inert gases are, for example, air, nitrogen and noble gases, air being particularly preferred merely for economic reasons. The relative humidity of the gases can be, for example, 40 to 90 %, and preferably 60 to 90 %. The treatment time in process stage a) substantially depends on the particle size and the relative humidity, and can be, for example, 5 to 100 hours. In process stage a), polymorph B can also be formed in addition to form A if the relative atmospheric humidity is too low and/or the treatment time is too short.
After the isolation, the crystalline residue can be dried in the conventional manner, temperatures above 40 C
expediently being avoided.
Process step b) is preferably carried out at about -20 0 to 40 C, and particularly preferably at -5 C to 25 C (about room temperature). Possible solvents have been mentioned above. The treatment time in process stage b) can be 5 to 100 hours. After the isolation, the solvent or solvent mixture used can be removed in the conventional manner by means of known drying processes.
In process step c), the crystalline form A, B or the amorphous form of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol fumarate can be used for the preparation of solutions. The concentration of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)meth-yl-(cyclohex-1-yl)]-phenol fumarate in the solution depends on the temperature chosen and on the solvent. The amount dissolved can be, for example, from 0.5 to 50, preferably 0.5 to 30, more preferably 0.5 to 20, and particularly preferably 1 to 15 per cent by weight, based on the solvent. The temperature for the dissolving can be up to 70 C, and preferably up to 60 C. The solution can also be prepared at room temperature if solvents having a high dissolving power are employed, for example water, acetone, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, methanol, ethanol, N-methylpyrrolidone and propylene glycol. The precipitation can be carried out by means of cooling, partial or complete removal of the solvent, addition of a precipitating agent (non-solvent, for example heptane or methyl t-butyl ether) or a combination of these measures. Cooling can mean slow cooling or also quenching to temperatures down to -20 C, and preferably down to 0 C. The solvent can be removed by heating, in a stream of gas, applying a vacuum or a combination of these measures. Heating to remove solvent means a temperature of not more than 40 C, and preferably not more than 30 C, in process stage c). In the precipitation processes according to process step c), the suspensions obtained are preferably subsequently stirred for a relatively long time at temperatures of -20 C, and preferably 0 C to 10 C, in order to convert the crystalline form A possibly formed into the polymorphic form B.
The preparation of the polymorphic form B is relatively non-critical. Evaporation processes can also be employed for the preparation. In this process, attention is to be paid to the choice of the solvent and in particular the evaporation temperature. At temperatures of about room temperature, the polymorphic form B is predominantly formed. At temperatures of above 40 C, and preferably from 50 C, the polymorphic form A is predominantly formed.
After the isolation, the crystalline residue can be dried in the conventional manner, temperatures above 40 C
expediently being avoided.
Process step b) is preferably carried out at about -20 0 to 40 C, and particularly preferably at -5 C to 25 C (about room temperature). Possible solvents have been mentioned above. The treatment time in process stage b) can be 5 to 100 hours. After the isolation, the solvent or solvent mixture used can be removed in the conventional manner by means of known drying processes.

The preparation of the polymorphic form B is relatively non-critical. Evaporation processes can also be employed for the preparation. In this process, attention is to be paid to the choice of the solvent and in particular the evaporation temperature. At temperatures of about room temperature, the polymorphic form B is predominantly formed. At temperatures of above 40 C, and preferably from 50 C, the polymorphic form A is predominantly formed.
Furthermore, the formation of mixtures of the crystalline forms A and B is also observed at room temperature.
The same processes as for the preparation of the crystalline form B can in principle be used for targeted preparation of the crystalline form A, the temperature in the individual process steps being kept above 40 C. The temperature can be, for example, 50 C to 120 C, and preferably 50 C to 100 C. After the cooling, lower temperatures are preferably maintained for not more then 2, and more advantageously 1 day.
The invention also provides a process for the preparation of the crystalline form A of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol fumarate of formula 1, which comprises a) treating a pulverulent, solid, amorphous form of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-1-yl)]-phenol fumarate with an inert gas containing water vapor until formation of the crystalline form A is complete; or b) preparing a suspension of the amorphous form of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol fumarate in a solvent, as a vehicle, and stirring the suspension until formation of the crystalline form A is complete; or c) dissolving 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol fumarate in a solvent and then precipitating it and optionally stirring the mixture until formation of the crystalline form B
is complete;
the temperature in process stages a), b) and c) being more than 90 C, preferably more than 60 C, and particularly preferably more than 40 C and the crystalline form being isolated after cooling.
On the basis of its favourable overall properties profile, 5 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol fumarate is outstandingly suitable as an active compound for pharmaceutical compositions, and very particularly for painkilling medicaments.

The amount of compounds of the formula I substantially depends on the type of formulation and on the desired dosage during the administration period. The amount of the particular salts according to the invention to be administered to patients can vary and depends, for example, on the weight or age of the patient and on the mode of administration, the indication and the severity of the disease. 0.005 to 5,000 mg/kg, preferably 0.05 to 500 mg/kg of patient's body weight of at least one such compound are conventionally administered.

10 The following examples explain the invention in more detail.
In all the DSC measurements (unless stated otherwise), the heating up rates are 10 C/minute; the temperatures stated 15 are peak maxima.
A) Preparation of (+) - (1R,2R) -3- [2- (dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol fumarate 20 Example Al: Preparation as the crystalline form B
0.0694 g (+)-(lR,2R)-3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-1-yl)]-phenol are dissolved in 0.50 ml ethyl acetate. In addition, a second solution of 0.0356 g fumaric acid in 20 ml ethyl acetate is prepared. The second solution is 25 added dropwise to the first solution at 40 C and the solutions are mixed, while stirring, a white precipitate forming immediately. The mixture is cooled to 23 C, while stirring, a tacky residue forming. The residue is heated to 40 C and then cooled to 5 C several times, until a 30 white solid remains. The precipitate is then filtered off over a glass frit and the residue is dried by sucking air through for 2 minutes. 0.0810 mg (78 o of theory) (+)-(1R,2R)-3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol fumarate is obtained as a white, crystalline solid having a melting point of about 176 C and a melt enthalpy of about 113 J/g, determined by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at a heating up rate of 10 C/minute.
The crystalline solid is the polymorphic form B, the X-ray diffraction diagram of which is shown in Figure 1. The Raman spectrum is shown in Figure 2.
If twice the amount of (+) -(1R,2R) -3- [2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol is employed, likewise only the 1:1 fumarate is formed.
Example A2: Preparation as the crystalline form B
0.81 g (7.0 mmol) fumaric acid are dissolved in 400 ml ethyl acetate and the solution is added dropwise to a solution of 1.64 g (7 mmol) (+) -(1R,2R) -3- [2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol in 10 ml ethyl acetate. Clouding occurs at the point of the dropwise addition. However, no solid precipitate forms.
An oil initially settles out, which crystallizes only slowly. The oil is scraped off from the wall of the glass flask and the oily suspension is kept at 50 to 60 C on a rotary evaporator, crystallization proceeding. On cooling in a refrigerator, a white, greasy precipitate settles out.
This mixture is kept at 50 C again on the rotary evaporator and then stored in a refrigerator for 3 days.
The suspension is then heated to 50 C again on the rotary evaporator and then cooled to room temperature. The now crystalline precipitate is filtered off, washed with ethyl acetate and then dried in a stream of air. The yield of rod-shaped crystals is 95.3 0 of theory. DSC analysis shows an endothermic signal (peak) at 175.6 C. After drying in vacuo (100 mbar) at 50 C, the following properties result: DSC peaks at 156.6 and 174.5 C, X-ray diffraction diagram corresponds to form B.
Example A3: Preparation as the crystalline form B
8.92 g fumaric acid are suspended in 120 ml ethyl acetate and the suspension is heated to 55 to 60 C. 17.96 g(+)-(lR,2R)-3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol are dissolved in 108 ml ethyl acetate at 60 C and the solution is slowly added dropwise to the suspension. A
solid forms immediately at the point of the dropwise addition. When the addition of the solution is complete, the suspension is further stirred at 60 C and a speed of rotation of the stirrer of 700 rpm for another 4 hours. It is then heated at 70 C for a further hour and thereafter the suspension is allowed to cool to room temperature, while stirring. The crystalline solid is filtered off, washed with ethyl acetate, suspended again in ethyl acetate and then filtered off and dried in air. The yield is 26.69 g (99.3 % of theory). The X-ray diffraction diagram corresponds to form B. The DSC analysis gives an endothermic signal (peak) at 175.1 C.
Example A4: Preparation of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-1-yl)]-phenol fumarate a) Preparation 23.16 g 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol (purity according to HPLC analysis 75.9 %) are dissolved in 588 ml ethyl acetate in a 1 1 flask and the solution is heated to 55 C. 8.75 g fumaric acid are than added all at once, while stirring. Agglomerates of fumaric acid which are formed are broken down with a spatula. The mixture is then stirred at 55 C for 4 hours and, after cooling, at 20 C for a further 2 hours. Thereafter, the crystalline precipitate is filtered off over a filter frit, washed once with 20 ml ethyl acetate and dried by sucking air through.
In the thermoanalysis (DSC), a broad endothermic signal is found at 153.8 C. The purity (based on the phenol) is 89.4 % according to HPLC analysis. The yield is 18.4 g (70.0 0 of theory).

1 Determination of the crystalline form Example E8: Water uptake of fumarate and hydrochloride 5 (comparison) The water uptake is determined by means of dynamic water vapor uptake (dynamic vapor sorption, DVS) with the DVS-1 apparatus from Surface Measurement Systems Ltd. The sample is placed in a platinum crucible on the tip of a 10 microbalance. The sample is then first equilibrated at 50 % relative atmospheric humidity and subsequently subjected to a predefined measurement program. The temperature is 25 C. The change in weight of the sample after a stepwise increase in the relative atmospheric 15 humidity by in each case 10 % to 90 % is determined.
a) (+) - (1R, 2R) -3- [2- (Dimethylamino) methyl- (cyclohex-1-yl) ] -phenol fumarate (form B) A decidedly low water uptake of 0.13 % is found. The 20 moisture absorbed is released again completely at about 10 % relative atmospheric humidity.

further increase to 90 % relative atmospheric humidity leads to a water uptake of about 5 wt.% in total. On desorption by stepwise lowering of the relative atmospheric humidity by 10 %, more water is released than is taken up before, namely 8.5 % in total. It is assumed that a variable hydrate is present.
Example E9: Damp storage and drying of fumarate and hydrochloride (comparison) Fumarate and hydrochloride according to Example E8 are first stored at 25 C and 75 % and 95 % relative atmospheric humidity for 7 days and thereafter at 50 C in vacuo in a drying cabinet for 7 days. Before the start of the storage, the X-ray diffraction diagrams (XRD), DSC for determination of transition points (Tp) and dry weight (DW) and the Karl Fischer water content (WC) are determined, and the same values are determined after the damp storage and drying. The X-ray diffraction diagrams show no change in the crystalline forms A and D after damp storage and drying. The starting values for the hydrochloride are Tp =
116.27 C, DW = 6.35 % and WC = 8.00 %. The starting values for the fumarate are Tp = 93.11 C and 175.14 C, DW
= 0 and WC = 0.2 %. The results are given in Tables 7 (75 % relative atmospheric humidity) and 8 (95 % relative atmospheric humidity).

Powder X-ray diffraction diagrams (PXRD):
PXRD is carried out with a Philips 1710 powder X-ray diffractometer, CuKa radiation being used. d intervals are calculated from the 20 values, the wavelength of 1.54060 A
being taken as the basis. It generally applies that the 20 values have an error rate of 0.1-0.2 . The experimental error in the d interval values therefore depends on the location of the line (the peak).
Raman spectroscopy:
FT-Raman spectra are recorded with a Bruker RFS 100 FT-Raman system which is operated with an Nd:YAG laser (wavelength 1064 nm) and a germanium detector cooled with liquid nitrogen. For each sample, 64 scans with a resolution of 2 cm-1 are accumulated. A laser output of 100 mW is generally used.

10 The following examples explain the invention in more detail.
In all the DSC measurements (unless stated otherwise), the heating up rates are 10 C/minute; the temperatures stated 15 are peak maxima.
A) Preparation of (+) - (1R,2R) -3- [2- (dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol fumarate 20 Example Al: Preparation as the crystalline form B
0.0694 g (+)-(lR,2R)-3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-1-yl)]-phenol are dissolved in 0.50 ml ethyl acetate. In addition, a second solution of 0.0356 g fumaric acid in 20 ml ethyl acetate is prepared. The second solution is 25 added dropwise to the first solution at 40 C and the solutions are mixed, while stirring, a white precipitate forming immediately. The mixture is cooled to 23 C, while stirring, a tacky residue forming. The residue is heated to 40 C and then cooled to 5 C several times, until a 30 white solid remains. The precipitate is then filtered off over a glass frit and the residue is dried by sucking air through for 2 minutes. 0.0810 mg (78 o of theory) (+)-(1R,2R)-3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol fumarate is obtained as a white, crystalline solid having a melting point of about 176 C and a melt enthalpy of about 113 J/g, determined by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at a heating up rate of 10 C/minute.
The crystalline solid is the polymorphic form B, the X-ray diffraction diagram of which is shown in Figure 1. The Raman spectrum is shown in Figure 2.
If twice the amount of (+) -(1R,2R) -3- [2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol is employed, likewise only the 1:1 fumarate is formed.
Example A2: Preparation as the crystalline form B
0.81 g (7.0 mmol) fumaric acid are dissolved in 400 ml ethyl acetate and the solution is added dropwise to a solution of 1.64 g (7 mmol) (+) -(1R,2R) -3- [2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol in 10 ml ethyl acetate. Clouding occurs at the point of the dropwise addition. However, no solid precipitate forms.
An oil initially settles out, which crystallizes only slowly. The oil is scraped off from the wall of the glass flask and the oily suspension is kept at 50 to 60 C on a rotary evaporator, crystallization proceeding. On cooling in a refrigerator, a white, greasy precipitate settles out.
This mixture is kept at 50 C again on the rotary evaporator and then stored in a refrigerator for 3 days.
The suspension is then heated to 50 C again on the rotary evaporator and then cooled to room temperature. The now crystalline precipitate is filtered off, washed with ethyl acetate and then dried in a stream of air. The yield of rod-shaped crystals is 95.3 0 of theory. DSC analysis shows an endothermic signal (peak) at 175.6 C. After drying in vacuo (100 mbar) at 50 C, the following properties result: DSC peaks at 156.6 and 174.5 C, X-ray diffraction diagram corresponds to form B.
Example A3: Preparation as the crystalline form B
8.92 g fumaric acid are suspended in 120 ml ethyl acetate and the suspension is heated to 55 to 60 C. 17.96 g(+)-(lR,2R)-3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol are dissolved in 108 ml ethyl acetate at 60 C and the solution is slowly added dropwise to the suspension. A
solid forms immediately at the point of the dropwise addition. When the addition of the solution is complete, the suspension is further stirred at 60 C and a speed of rotation of the stirrer of 700 rpm for another 4 hours. It is then heated at 70 C for a further hour and thereafter the suspension is allowed to cool to room temperature, while stirring. The crystalline solid is filtered off, washed with ethyl acetate, suspended again in ethyl acetate and then filtered off and dried in air. The yield is 26.69 g (99.3 % of theory). The X-ray diffraction diagram corresponds to form B. The DSC analysis gives an endothermic signal (peak) at 175.1 C.
Example A4: Preparation of 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-1-yl)]-phenol fumarate a) Preparation 23.16 g 3-[2-(dimethylamino)methyl-(cyclohex-l-yl)]-phenol (purity according to HPLC analysis 75.9 %) are dissolved in 588 ml ethyl acetate in a 1 1 flask and the solution is heated to 55 C. 8.75 g fumaric acid are than added all at once, while stirring. Agglomerates of fumaric acid which are formed are broken down with a spatula. The mixture is then stirred at 55 C for 4 hours and, after cooling, at 20 C for a further 2 hours. Thereafter, the crystalline precipitate is filtered off over a filter frit, washed once with 20 ml ethyl acetate and dried by sucking air through.
In the thermoanalysis (DSC), a broad endothermic signal is found at 153.8 C. The purity (based on the phenol) is 89.4 % according to HPLC analysis. The yield is 18.4 g (70.0 0 of theory).
b) Purification by means of washing by stirring The crude product prepared according to A4 a) is weighed into glass flasks, solvent is added and the mixture is treated with ultrasound (100 % sound frequency) at 40 C

The change in weight of the sample after a stepwise increase in the relative atmospheric 15 humidity by in each case 10 % to 90 % is determined.

further increase to 90 % relative atmospheric humidity leads to a water uptake of about 5 wt.% in total. On desorption by stepwise lowering of the relative atmospheric humidity by 10 %, more water is released than is taken up before, namely 8.5 % in total. It is assumed that a variable hydrate is present.

Powder X-ray diffraction diagrams (PXRD):
PXRD is carried out with a Philips 1710 powder X-ray diffractometer, CuKa radiation being used. d intervals are calculated from the 20 values, the wavelength of 1.54060 A
being taken as the basis. It generally applies that the 20 values have an error rate of 0.1-0.2 . The experimental error in the d interval values therefore depends on the location of the line (the peak).
Raman spectroscopy:
FT-Raman spectra are recorded with a Bruker RFS 100 FT-Raman system which is operated with an Nd:YAG laser (wavelength 1064 nm) and a germanium detector cooled with liquid nitrogen. For each sample, 64 scans with a resolution of 2 cm-1 are accumulated. A laser output of 100 mW is generally used.
