  • Patent number: 5637585
    Abstract: This invention provides the form B crystal of (R)-1-[2,3-dihydro-1-(2'-methylphenacyl)-2-oxo-5-phenyl-1H-1,4-benzodiazep in-3-yl]-3-(3-tolyl)urea which is produced by recrystallizing the compound from a mixed solvent of at least 1 volume of water and 5 volumes of an alcohol. The form B crystals have excellent filtration property and flowability, so that they can be handled markedly easily at the time of filtration for their large scale production or when they are made into pharmaceutical preparations and therefore are useful in view of their industrial production.
