Patent number: 7022841Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for reducing the levels of organic solvents to pharmaceutically acceptable levels in thermally unstable crystalline carbapenem solids represented by formula I: or a salt thereof, wherein R1 and R2, are the same or different, and are selected from H, alkyl, aryl, and heteroaryl, comprising washing a carbapenem solid containing organic solvent with an organic solvent containing water; and using vacuum and/or inert gas (hydrated or dry) at low temperature to produce a compound of formula I containing pharmaceutically acceptable levels of organic solvents, wherein the water content of the crystalline carbapenem solid, correcting for organic solvents, is maintained at about 13% to about 25% during the process.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2002Date of Patent: April 4, 2006Assignee: Merck & Co. Inc.Inventors: Raymond Cvetovich, Robert Wenslow, John M. Williams, Daniel Sidler, Louis Crocker, Hsien-Hsin Tung, Brian K. Johnson, Joseph Kukura, II, Ulf Dolling

Publication number: 20060009641Abstract: The instant invention describes a method for crystallizing (?)-6-chloro-4-cyclopropylethynyl-4-trifluoromethyl-1,4-dihydro-2H-3,1-benzoxazin-2-one from a solvent and anti-solvent solvent system and producing the crystalline product. The desired final crystal form, Form I, can be produced when using methanol or ethanol. Form II is isolated from 2-propanol and can be converted to the desired crystal form at low drying temperatures, such as between about a temperature of 40° C. and 50° C.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2005Publication date: January 12, 2006Inventors: Louis Crocker, Joseph Kukura, Andrew Thompson, Christine Stelmach, Steven Young
