Abstract

The present invention relates to processes for preparing solid state forms of N-(4-(7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-7-yl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-4-oxo-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1, 4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxamide, including Compound 1 Form A, Compound 1 Form A-HCl, Compound 1 Form B, and Compound 1 Form B-HCl, any combination of these forms, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and methods of treatment therewith.

Claims (33)

1. A process for producing Compound 1 having solid Form B:

14. The process of claim 13 , wherein the coupling of Compound 2 and the hydrochloride salt 3-HCl is performed in the presence of a base selected from K 2 CO 3 , Et 3 N, N-methylmorpholine (NMM), pyridine or DIEA.

15. The process of claim 14 , wherein the coupling of Compound 2 and the hydrochloride salt 3-HCl is performed in the presence of pyridine.

16. The process of claim 13 , wherein the coupling of Compound 2 and the hydrochloride salt 3-HCl is performed in the presence of a solvent selected from EtOAc, IPAc, THF, MEK, NMP, acetonitrile, DMF, or 2-methyltetrahydrofuran.

17. The process of claim 16 , wherein the coupling of Compound 2 and the hydrochloride salt 3-HCl is performed in the presence of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran.

18. The process of claim 13 , wherein the coupling of Compound 2 and the hydrochloride salt 3-HCl is s performed at a reaction temperature that is maintained between 15° C. and 70° C.

19. The process of claim 1 , wherein the solid Form B is characterized by a single crystal which possesses a monoclinic crystal system, a P21/c space group, and the following unit cell dimensions:
