[0043] One embodiment is a method of synthesizing the compound of formula (T comprising reacting the compound of formula II ((4-fluorobenzyl)-(l-methylpiperidin-4 yl)amine) WO 2006/037043 PC17US2005/03481 with the compound of formula III(4-(2-methytoropyloxy phenyl lmethyl-isocyanate) [0044] In one embodiment, about 0.9 to about 1.1 equivalents of (4-fluorobenzyl)- (l-methylpiperidin-4-yl)amine per equivalent of 4-(2-methylpropyloxy)phenylmethyl-isocyanate is used. In some embodiments, the resulting compound of formula I is isolated from the reaction mixture. In one embodiment, a salt-forming acid is added after the reaction. The formed salt may be isolated by solvent removal, precipitation, or both solvent removal and precipitation, followed by deliberation of the compound of formula I under alkaline aqueous conditions through dissolution in an organic solvent in a two phase system, and separating the compound of formula I from the organic solution. In a preferred embodiment, 1.0 equivalent of (4-fluorobenzyl)-(l- methylpiperidin-4-yl)amine per equivalent of 4-(2-methylpropyloxy)phenylmethyl-isocyanate is used in the reaction. The reaction may be carried out in the presence of Lewis acids as catalysts such as metal salts or more preferably metal alkoxylates. Some examples are MgCl2, FeCl2, FeCl3, FeBr2) Fe(SO4)2, NiCl2, BC13, A1C13, BBr3, TiCl4, TiBr4, ZrCl4, BC13, Al(O-C,-C4-Alkyl)3, and Ti(O-C1-C4-Alkyl)3. The amount of catalyst may be from about 0.0001 to about 5 percent by weight and preferably about 0.01 to about 3 percent by weight relative to the compound of formula n. [0045] The reaction is preferably carried out in the presence of an inert organic solvent such as aliphatic ethers (e.g., diethyl ether, methyl propyl ether, dibutyl ether, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane), esters of aliphatic carboxylic acids or alcohols (e.g., C1-C4, alkyl esters of acetic acid), lactones (e.g., valerolactorie), halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g., di- or trichloromethane, tetrachloroethane), or aliphatic C3-C8ketones (e.g., acetone, methyl propyl ketone, diethyl ketone, or methyl i- or t-butyl ketone). [0046] The reaction temperature is preferably in the range of about -30 °C to about 60 °C and more preferably in the range of about 5 °C to about 30 °C. The reaction time may be controlled by monitoring the consumption of the compound of formula II or formula III either by on-line process analytics, or by recovering and analyzing samples off-line. [0047] Isolation of the compound of formula I may be performed by any suitable method including removal of the solvent by distillation of the reaction residue under reduced pressure and lower temperatures, such as up to about 100 °C, preferably up to about 80 DC. Isolation may also occur by partial removal of solvent to increase the concentration, filtering of impurities, precipitating the solid compound of formula I either by further concentration or 11 WO 2006/037043 PCT/US2005/034813 addition of a non-solvent such as an aliphatic hydrocarbon (e.g., pentane, hexane, heptane, octane, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, or water), filtering of the solid, and drying. The isolated compound of formula I may be purified by known methods such as distillation or chromatographic methods. [0048] It was found that removal of impurities such as formed side-products prior to the isolation is a convenient route to produce the compound of formula I with high purity. It was further found that purification can be effectively improved by forming salts of the carbamide, which can be precipitated as crystalline compounds and re-crystallizcd from solvents to remove impurities. The free carbamide of formula I is then deliberated by dissolution of the salt in water, addition of a base, and extraction of the carbamide with an organic solvent. The organic solutions may be washed with water and aqueous sodium chloride before removal of the sol vent by distillation, optionally under reduced pressure. Impurities may be removed in this method by precipitation or dissolution in water in then use of a two phase systems. When precipitation of the salt is desired for easy isolation by filtration or centrifugation, partial removal of the organic solvent and addition of fresh solvent may be carried out. Suitable solvents with low salt solubility are aprotic organic solvents such as hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, ethers, "ketones, carboxylic acid esters and lactones, acetonitrile, and alcohols having at least 3 carbon atoms. [0049] Salt forming acids may be selected from inorganic or organic acids, such as mineral acids (HCl, HBr, HI, H2SO4), mono- or dicarboxylic acids (formic acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid, malonic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, tartaric acid) or sulfooic acids (methylsulfonic acid). The acids may be added as aqueous solutions in amounts sufficient to form a solid or crystalline precipitate. The amount may range from about 0.5 to about 2 equivalents relative to the compound of formula I, depending mainly on the functionality of the acid and the desired excess for complete and fast salt formation. [0050] The salts may be dissolved in water and a non-water misciblc organic solvent for the compound of formula I added to dissolve the deliberated compound of formula I -when the base is added. Suitable bases include, but are not limited to, alkaline earth metal hydroxides such as LiOH, NaOH or KOH. In one embodiment, the pH of the aqueous phase is greater th_an about 8.5. The reaction may be terminated from minutes to 1 hour. The reaction is preferably stopped after 5 to 30 minutes. The organic phase is then separated, optionally washed with water and brine and/or filtered. The desired product may be obtained by removal of the solvent and drying, or by precipitation with anon-solvent, filtration, and drying of the solid residue. The compound of formula I is obtained in high purity and yields. [0051] The starting materials for the above-described reaction can be obtained by known and analogous methods. Specifically, the compound of formula II may be obtained by the 12 WO 2006/037043 PCT/US2005/034813 reaction of N-methylpiperidine-4-one with 4-fluorobenzylamine in the presence of a metal hydride, for example according to the scheme This oxime may be catalytically hydrogenated with a palladium catalyst to the corresponding 4- isobutoxybenzylamine, from which the isocyanate of formula HI may be obtained by reaction with phosgene. Crystalline form of N-r4-fluorobenzyl')-N-(l-methvlpipcri(lin-4-yl)-'-(4-(2-methvlpropyloxy) phenvlmethvDcarbamide (FormY) [0053] Using the above-described method, the compound of formula I is generally obtained as a substantially amorphous solid, which may be admixed with small amounts of a crystalline form. It was surprisingly found that a pure crystalline form can be obtained from the salt form, such as the hemi-tartrate salt, when deliberating the base under certain condition. This crystallisation can even be used to purify the base by re-crystallization of salts or by re- crystallization of the base itself. [0054] Accordingly, in one embodiment, a crystalline form of N-(4-fluorobenzyl)-N- (l-methylpiperidin-4-yl)-N'-(4-(2-methylpropyloxy)phenylmethyl)carbamide is provided that exhibits a characteristic melting point of about 124 °C (peak temperature), determined with Differential Scanning Calometry (DSC) at a heating rate of 10 °C/minute, hereinafter designated as form Y. The enthalpy of fusion of form Y is about 99 J/g. [0055] The X-ray powder diffraction pattern of form Y is depicted in Figure 1. Specifically the X-ray powder diffraction pattern exhibits the following characteristic peaks expressed in d-values (A): 13.0 (vs), 10.9 (vs), 6.8 (vw), 6.5 (s), 6.2 (w), 5.2 (w), 4.7 (m), 4.5 (w), 4.3 (s), 4.22 (vs), 4.00 (m), 3.53 (vw), 3.40 (vw), 3.28 (w), 3.24 (w), 3.19 (w), 3.08 (w), 2.91 (w), and 2.72 (w). The abbreviations in parenthesis are used herein as follows: (vs) = very strong 13 WO 2006/037043 PCT/US2005/034813 intensity, (s) = strong intensity, (m) = medium intensity, (w) = weak intensity, and (vw) - very weak intensity. In various embodiments, form Y is present in a solid form of the compound of formula I in amounts of at least about 50%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, or 98%, with the remainder being other crystalline forms (including hydrates and solvates) and/or amorphous forms. [0056] Form Y is a very therrnodynamically stable form of the compound of formula I. Powder X-ray diffraction and DSC indicate the crystalline character of form Y, and analysis of the elemental composition complies with compound of formula I. The crystalline form Y of formula I is obtained as a white powder. [0057] The compound of formula I is soluble in various organic solvents and shows a low solubility in water. In contrast, salts of the compound of formula I are well soluble in water. These properties can be used for the preparation of Form Y of the compound of formula I. For example, one process for forming Form Y includes: a) dissolution in water under stirring of a salt form of formula I, preferably the hemi-tartrate salt; b) addition of a sufficient amount of an organic aprotic solvent for the dissolution of the formed compound of formula I; c) adjusting of the pH of the aqueous salt solution to a value of at least 8.5 by addition of a base; d) optionally extracting the aqueous phase with the organic solvent and collecting all or- ganic phases; e) removing a part of the solvent and cooling the remaining organic solution to less than 15 °C; f) holding at this temperature while optionally stirring; and g) filtering off the precipitate, washing the solid residue, and drying it The mother liquor can be again concentrated and cooled to increase the yield. Salt forming acids may be selected from inorganic or organic acids, such as mineral acids (e.g., IIC1, HBr, HI, H2SO4) H3PO4), mono- or dicarboxylic acids (e.g., formic acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid, malonic acid, tartaric acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid), sulfonic acids (e.g., methylsulfonic acid), citric acid, glucuronic acid, malic acid, pamoic acid, or ethane-1,2-disulfonic acid. [0058] Suitable solvents are hydrocarbons such as toluene, halogenated hydrocarbons such as di- or trichloromethane, tetrachloroethane, esters of aliphatic carboxylic acids and alcohols (C2-C4alkyl esters of acetic acid) (ethyl acetate), lactoncs (valerolactone), ethers (diethylether, methylpropyl ether, t-butyl-methyl-ether, dibutyl ether, dimethyl ether), aliphatic C4-C8ketones (methyl propyl ketone, diethyl ketonc or methyl i- or t-butyl ketone). The pH value in step c) may be advantageously adjusted to at least 9.5. Suitable bases include, but 14 WO 2006/037043 PCT/US2005/034813 are not limited to aqueous alkaline or earth alkaline metal hydroxides such as LiOH, NaOH, KOH or Ca(OH)2. [0059] Removal of a part of the solvent mainly serves to concentrate the organic solution so that it contains about 5 to about 30 percent by weight of the compound of formula I. The cooling temperature is preferably in the range of about -10 to about 10 °C and most preferably about 0 °C to about 10 °C. Storage time at this temperature optionally under stirring is preferably about 30 minutes to about 12 hours. Removal of residual solvent may be carried out in a conventional manner under vacuum, in an inert gas flow, or both. Formation of N-(4-fluorobenzvr)-N-( 1 -methvlpipcridin-4~yl)-N' -(4-(2-methvlpropyloxv) phenylmethylicarbamide hemi-tartrate [0060] The compound of formula I has a low solubility in water. Accordingly, in some embodiments, forms of the compound are provided that are water soluble and hence have enhanced bioavailability and improved processing characteristics for the preparation and formulation of drug compositions. It was found that a hemi-tartrate of N-(4-fiuorobenzyl)-N-(l- methylpiperidin-4-yl)-N'-(4-(2-methylpropyloxy)phenylmethyl)carbamide is particularly suitable. Accordingly, one embodiment provides N-(4-fluorobenzyI)-N-(l--methylpipcridin-4-yl)-N'-(4-(2- methylpropyloxy)phenylmethyl)carbamide hemi-tartrate according to the formula IV, [0061] The compound of formula IV may be prepared as an integrated part of the process for synthesizing the compound of formula I as described above by using tartaric acid as the salt forming acid. Alternatively, the tartrate salt may be formed by reaction of the isolated compound of formula I with tartaric acid. [0062] In one embodiment, N-(4-fluorobenzyl)-N-(l-methyIpiperidin-4-yl)-N'-(4-(2- methylpropyloxy)phenylmethyl)carbamide hemi-tartrate is formed according to the following method: a) react about 0.9 to about 1.1 equivalents of (4-fluorobenzyl)-(l-methylpiperidin-4- yl)amine of formula II 15 b) add tartaric acid, and c) isolate the hemi-tartrate of the compound of formula I from the obtained suspension. The hemi-tartrate may also be obtained through precipitation by cooling, solvent removal, adding a non-solvent, or a combination of these methods. In one embodiment, one or more solvents are added in step b) that have a low solubility for the hemi-tartrate, such as isopropyl acetate, a ketone (such as acetone or 2-butanone), and/or tctrahydrofuran. The temperature in step b) is pre- ferably from about 15 to about 30 °C. The hemi-tartrate precipitates and forms a suspension, which may be stirred for up to 3 days before filtering off the solid from the reaction mixture preferably at ambient conditions. The solid residue may be washed, and then dried at temperatures up to 50 °C, if desired, under vacuum. [0063] The hemi-tartrate of formula IV is obtained in high yields and purity. The mother liquors can be used to isolate more hemi-tartrate of formula IV in the usual manner. The hemi-tartrate may be further purified by conversion to the free base of formula I and isolating a solution of the base, which is then used to re-precipitate the hemi-tartrate by the addition of tartaric acid. Crystalline forms of N-(4-fluorobenzvl)-N-d-methvlpiperidin-4-yl')-N'-(4-r2- methvlpropvloxviphenylmethyncarbamide hemi-tartrate fForms A-C) [0064] It was surprisingly found that the compound of formula IV can be obtained in a number of crystalline forms. One such crystalline solid form produced by the above-described method is hereinafter referred to crystalline form A. Crystalline form A generally contains some water as demonstrated when subjected to heat in thermogravimetric analysis coupled to FT infrared spectroscopy, or by Karl Fischer titration. The water content may range up to an amount of about 2 to 3 percent by weight, which would generally correspond to a hemi-hydrate. However, the water is only weakly bound, since the weight loss starts just above ambient temperature and is complete at about 150 °C. The water can also easily be removed by treatment with dry nitrogen for a longer time (about up to 20 hours) and form A can also exist in a water- free state. DSC indicates that the melting point of the dehydrated form A is about 133-135 °C 16 WO 2006/037043 PCT/US2005/034813 (peak temperature) with an enthalpy of fusion of about 70 J/g. Form A shows a considerable water uptake when exposed to humidity, especially above 75% relative humidity. The water is given off when the relative humidity is decreased to 50% and less. This behaviour is typical for a deliquescent solid. The compound of formula IV as crystalline form A is well soluble in me- thanol, water, or organic solvents admixed with water. The compound of formula IV shows a low solubility in other organic solvents. Crystalline form A may contain smaller amounts of crystalline form C (described below), when manufactured according to the above process. [0065] The X-ray powder diffraction pattern of form A is depicted in Figure 2. Specifically the X-ray powder diffraction pattern exhibits the following characteristic peaks expressed in d-values (A): 18.6 (s), 16.7 (vs), 10.2 (s), 8.2 (m), 7.7 (w), 7.4 (w), 6.5 (w), 6.2 (m), 6.1 (vs), 5.86 (w), 5.14 (m), 5.03 (m), 4.78 (m), 4.69 (m), 4.63 (s), 4.49 (s), 4.44 (vs), 4.35 (m), 4.10 (m), 3.96 (s), and 3.66 (m). In various embodiments, form A is present in a solid form of the compound of formula IV in amounts of at least about 50%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, or 98%, with the remainder being other crystalline forms (including hydrates and solvatcs) and/or amorphous forms. [0066] Crystalline form A can be prepared in a controlled manner by crystallization from ethanol, optionally admixed with isopropanol. Accordingly, one embodiment is a process for the preparation of crystalline form A that includes: a) dissolving the compound of formula IV in ethanol or an admixture of ethanol and iso- propanol at elevated temperature; b) slowly cooling the solution to a temperature of less than 20 °C; and c) filtering off the precipitated solid and drying it. [0067] In some embodiments, the mixtures of ethanol and isopropanol may contain up to about 15 and more preferably up to 10 volume percent isopropanol. Ethanol is the preferred solvent. It is also preferred to use dried ethanol, optionally in admixture with dry isopropanol. In some embodiments, the elevated temperature is from about 55 to about 90 °C and preferably from about 55 to about 65 °C. The mixture is stirred at elevated temperatures until the compound of formula IV is completely dissolved. Slow cooling may mean a cooling rate of about 0.1 to about 3 °C/minute, preferably about 0.2 to about 2 °C/minute, and particularly about 0.2 to about 1 °C/rninute. Crystallization started at below about 50 °C and it was observed that a thick paste can form when stirring at such a temperature for about 1 hour. Heating again to the higher temperature and then cooling again generally results in a suspension, which can be stirred at about 40 to about 50 °C and also when further cooling to a temperature of less than about 20 °C, preferably about 5 to about 15 °C. The cooling rate after stirring may be about 0.1 to about 3 °C/minute and preferably about 0.3 to about 1 °C/minute. The resulting crystalline solid is then filtered off and dried by sucking dry air through the filter cake at temperatures of about 25 to less 17 WO 2006/037043 PCT/US2005/034813 than about 40 °C, preferably at about 30 °C. Drying may be completed by keeping the pre-dned solid for a certain time under vacuum at ambient or elevated temperature. [0068] The compound of formula IV can be transformed to a completely amorphous form by dissolving the compound in a solvent such as for example water and lyophilizing the solution. The amorphous form can then be used to manufacture other polymorphic or pseudo- polymorphic forms. [0069] In one embodiment, another crystalline form of the compound of formula IV is prepared using phase equilibration processes in a reproducible manner using ethyl acetate, acetone, methyl-ethyl ketone, or acetonitrile as solvent. This crystalline solid is hereinafter referred to crystalline form B. Crystalline form B may contain some water, as demonstrated when subjected to heat in thermogravimetric analysis coupled to FT infrared spectroscopy, or by Karl Fischer titration. The water content may range up to an amount of about 3.4 percent by weight. This amount generally indicates a monohydrate stable under ambient conditions (theoretical content would be 3.5 %). However, water is only weakly bound, since a weight loss is observed at ambient temperature and low relative humidity of about less than 20% and form B can also exist in a water-free state. The melting point of the dehydrated form B is about 135 °C with an enthalpy of fusion of about 71 J/g. Form B shows a considerable water uptake when exposed to high humidity, especially above 80% relative humidity. However, the hygroscopicity is less pronounced than observed in form A and no deliquescence is found at high relative humidity of about 90%. [0070] The X-ray powder diffraction pattern of form B is depicted in Figure 3. Specifically the X-ray powder diffraction pattern exhibits the following characteristic peaks expressed in d-values (A): 7.4 (vs), 10.2 (s), 8.8 (w), 6.4 (w), 5.91 (vs), 5.46 (w), 4.99 (rn), 4.90 (m), 4.62 (m), 4.50 (vs), 4.37 (vs), 4.20 (w), 3.87 (vs), 3.73 (w), 3.58 (m), 3.42 (w), and 2.90 (w). In various embodiments, form B is present in a solid form of the compound of formula IV in amounts of at least about 50%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, or 98%, with the remainder being other crystalline forms (including hydrates and solvates) and/or amorphous forms. [0071] Crystalline form B can be prepared in a controlled manner by various processes. In one embodiment, it is precipitated from solutions in polar solvents such as water or methylene chloride using non-solvents such as methylethylketone, heptane, toluene, acetonitrile or ethyl acetate at temperatures of 0-40 °C, and subsequent phase equilibration substantially at room temperature. Another method is the equilibration of suspensions of other crystalline forms such as crystalline forms A or C or mixtures thereof in solvents such as acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, ethanol/methylethylketone, ethanol/acetone, ethyl acetate saturated with water, acetonitrile or ethyl acetate containing about 1 volume percent of water at a temperature from room temperature to about 40 °C, optionally with temperature cycles. The equilibration of suspensions with the 18 WO 2006/037043 PCT/US2005/034813 amorphous material of the compound of formula I at temperatures of 0 to about 45 °C, optionally under the application of temperature cycles, is a further method for the preparation of form B. Suitable solvents are heptane, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, methylethylketone, ethylacetate or tertiary-butylmethylether saturated with water, or ethyl acetate/ethanol containing 1 volume percent water. [0072] It was observed that crystal form A from the hemi-tartratc production can contain to some extent another polymorph form and further investigation revealed that this polymorph is neither a hydrate nor a solvate. This crystalline solid is hereinafter referred to as crystalline form C. Crystalline form C may be prepared by suspension equilibration of crystalline forms A or B, preferably with addition of seeding crystals of form C. Crystalline form C is more thermodynamically and chemically stable than forms A or B. Crystalline form C absorbs much less water than form A. Water absorption at about 95% relative humidity is only about 1% and no deliquescence or hygroscopicity is observed. The exposure to humidity does not result in a change of the crystalline form. Crystalline form C is stable at 75% relative humidity in an open container and does not absorb water up to about 60 °C. Thermogravimetric analysis results in a weight loss of about O.9% below 150 °C, which can be attributed to absorbed water. The investigation with DSC at a heating rate of 20 °C shows an endothermic signal at 177 °C with an enthalpy of fusion of about 129 J/g. The signal is attributed to the melting (peak) temperature, whereby first decomposition of the substance is observed above 170 °C. Solubility of crystalline form C in water is very high. Crystalline form C is highly suitable as an active compound in the manufacturing and formulation of drugs. [0073] The X-ray powder diffraction pattern of form C is depicted in Figure 4. Specifically the X-ray powder diffraction pattern exhibits the following characteristic peaks expressed in d-values (A): 12.0 (w), 10.7 (vs), 7.4 (vw), 6.9 (vw), 6.6 (vw), 6.2 (w), 5.86 (m), 5.53 (w), 5.28 (m), 5.16 (m), 4.84 (vs), 4.70 (m), 4.57 (s), 4.38 (m), 4.09 (w), 3.94 (w), 3.77 (s), 3.71 (m),3.49 (w), 3.46 (w), 3.25 (w), 3.08 (w), and 2.93 (w). In various embodiments, form C is present in a solid form of the compound of formula IV in amounts of at least about 50%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, or 98%, with the remainder being other crystalline forms (including hydrates and solvates) and/or amorphous forms. [0074] In one embodiment, a process is provided for the preparation of pure crystalline form C on a large scale for industrial production of the pharmaceutically active compound. It was found that the crystallization from heated and then cooled solutions does not readily result in form C. It was further found that form C can be manufactured in a controlled manner, when crystalline forms A or B are equilibrated in suspension in the presence of a polar and aprotic solvent and seed crystals of form C are added. In an alternative to using seed crystals, a starting material may be used that contains some crystal form C after preparation of the 19 WO 2006/037043 PCT/US2005/034813 compound of formula IV. The solid in the suspension may have crystals with a particle size in the range of 1 to about 200 and preferably 2 to 100 am, which can be filtered off, washed and dried under moderate conditions; e.g., for instance at 60°C under vacuum. The particle size obtained may be dependent on the manufacture scale, on the solvent or solvent mixture used, on the cooling rate, and the number of added seeding crystals. [0075] One method for the preparation of crystalline form C comprises forming a suspension of a solid compound of formula IV in an aprotic solvent at elevated temperature and stirring the suspension, optionally adding crystal seeds of form C, until substantial complete conversion in pure form C. [0076] The temperature of the process may be from 20 to 100 °C and preferably 40 to 80 °C. Suitable solvents for conversion to form C may be selected from the group comprising aliphatic or cyclic ethers, carboxylic esters, lactones, alkanes and aliphatic C3-C8ketones. Seeding with crystals of form C is preferably carried out when the solid form is in part dissolved and a saturated solution is formed in which the solid form is suspended. Seeding is carried out prefe- rably in a temperature range from 40 to 80 °C and more preferably from 55 to 65 °C. Stirring time of the suspension may be from 30 minutes to days, and most preferably from 30 minutes to 6 hours. The suspension is slowly cooled before isolation of the solid by filtration or centrifugation and the cooling rate may be from 0.1 to 1 °C/minute. Cooling may be carried out to an end temperature near room temperature or below. [0077] One embodiment is a process for the preparation of crystalline form C of N- (4-fluorobenzyl)-N-(l-methylpiperidin-4-yl)-N'-(4-(2-methylpropyloxy)phenylmethyl)carbamide tartrate of formula IV, comprising: a) suspending the amorphous form or crystalline forms A, B, D, E, or F or mixtures thereof under stirring in a polar and aprotic solvent at temperatures from 30 to 70 °C; b) continuing stirring at temperatures from 30 to 70 °C and adding crystal seeds of crystalline form C, when crystalline form C is not present in the starting material; c) continuing stirring at temperatures from 30 to 70 °C until formation of crystalline form C is completed; d) cooling to the process end temperature; e) isolating of the crystalline solid from the suspension; and f) optionally washing and then drying the crystalline solid. [0078] Crystalline form A may be used as the starting material, but the process can also be carried out with forms B, D, E, and F, or with an amorphous form. The starting material may advantageously be dried prior to use. Drying at 40°C under vacuum is generally sufficient to remove unwanted residual solvents (e.g., alcohols, water, or mixtures thereof) which are detrimental to the formation of form. C. Suitable solvents for crystallization of form C may be 20 WO 2006/037043 PCT/US2005/034813 selected from the group comprising ethers, carboxylic esters, lactoncs and aliphatic ketones. Some specific examples and preferred solvents are diethylet'her, propyl methyl ether, t-butyl methyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, ethyl acetate, t-butyl methyl ketone, acetone, and methyl ethyl ketone. Most preferred solvent are ketones and especially pre ferred is methyl ethyl ketone and tetrahydrofuran. The amounts of crystalline forms A or B in the suspension, when used as starting materials, are not critical and the amount is chosen such that the suspension can be stirred at the applied temperatures. The temperature in step a) is preferably at about room temperature. [0079] The temperature in steps b) and c) may range from 10 to 60 °C. It may be advantageous to apply temperature cycles between higher and lower temperatures. The amount of crystal seeds added may be from 0.01 to 10 and preferably 0.1 to 5 percent by weight, referred to the amount of crystalline forms A and/or B. The addition of crystal seeds is in general preferred in order to accelerate the transformation of the crystalline forms. [0080] Stirring in step c) may be continued for hours to days, for example, 0.5 hours to 3 days and preferably 2 hours to about 2 days. The transformation/conversion time substantially depends on the scale, the temperature, the solvent used, agitating intensity, and the amount of crystal seeds added to the suspension. The conversion time may be controlled by monitoring the ratio of the disappearing form and the produced form C either by on-line process analytics, or by recovering and analyzing samples off-line. [0081] Isolation of the crystalline solid can be carried out by centrifugation or filtration. The product may be washed for example with a solvent and then dried over dry inert gas which can be pulled through the filter cake optionally under vacuum or applying vacuum for a time sufficient to remove the solvents. Further drying, either under vacuum and/or at moderate temperatures up to about 80°C can be applied. It can be noted that form C exhibits excellent properties in terms of filtration and drying and a solid material is obtained that is essentially free of residual solvent; i.e., with less than 1000 ppm, preferably less than 200 ppm. [0082] It was surprisingly found that crystalline form C can also be prepared by crystallization from a solution of the compound of formula IV in a selected solvent and seeding with crystalline form C at elevated temperature. Accordingly, in one embodiment, a method of preparing crystalline form C is provided, comprising: a) dissolving the amorphous form or crystalline forms A, B, D, E or F or mixtures thereof under stirring in a suitable solvent at temperatures from 0 to 70 ºC; b) continuing stirring and adding crystal seeds of crystalline form C to the solution at elevated temperature; preferably at about 50 to 70 °C and most preferably at 55 to 65 °C; c) continuing agitation of the forming suspension at the same temperature for a time sufficient to convert the compound of formula IV in crystalline form C; 21 WO 2006/037043 PCT/US2005/034813 d) cooling the obtained suspension at a cooling rate of 5 to 15 °C per hour to -20 °C to room temperature and preferably to 0 to 25 °C; e) isolating the crystalline solid from the suspension; and f) optionally washing and then drying the crystalline solid. [0083] The amount of the compound of formula IV in step a) is chosen such that concentrated solutions are obtained. The concentration that can be reached depends on the solvent or solvent mixture used, and the solubility of the starting material. Tetrahydrofuran, and mixtures containing tetrahydrofuran are preferred as solvents since typically about 200 mg/ml of form A can be dissolved at reflux temperature. However, any solvent suitable at dissolving the starting material may be used. Non-limiting examples include tetrahydrofuran, acetone, ethanol, isopropanol, dichloromethane, 1,4-dioxane, and acctonitrile. The temperature in step a) is preferably from 40 to 70 °C. The amount of added crystal seeds in step b) may be from 0.1 to 15% by weight and preferably from 2 to 10% by weight, referred to the amount of dissolved compound of formula IV. The agitation time in step c) depends on the scale and may range from about 20 minutes to about 24 hours, more preferably from 25 minutes to 12 hours, and most preferably from 30 minutes to 6 hours. The cooling rate in step d) is preferably from 8 to 12 °C per hour. Stirring may be continued after cooling at the cooling temperature range for up to 24, preferably 18 hours and more preferably 14 hours. [0084] Crystalline form C can be obtained in high polymorphic purity. The material obtained with the processes described above may contain residual starting material, for example in amounts of up to 20 or up to 10 percent by weight relative to crystalline form C. These mixtures are also very suitable for drug formulations. Solvates of N-(4-fluorobenzvl')-N-(l-methylpiperidin-4-yl)-N'-(4-(7.-methylpropyloxv') phenylmethvDcarbamide hemi-tartrate (Forms D-F) [0085] In some embodiments, the compound of formula IV may form various solvates with certain solvents. These pseudo-polymorphic forms may be used in drug formulations or for the production of other polymorphic forms, hi some embodiments, these solvates can exist either as solvated forms; i.e., containing a significant amoxint of the respective solvent, or in a corresponding non-solvated from; i.e., in a solvent-free form, wherein the crystalline structure is essentially retained. [0086] One such solvate is formed by suspension equilibration of crystalline form A or an amorphous form of the compound of formula IV in isopropanol. After drying under nitrogen for about 30 minutes, the formed solvate contains about 6.0 to 6.6 percent by weight of isopropanol. The theoretical value for the hcmi-isopropanolate is 5.6% content of isopropanol and it is concluded that the hemi-solvate has formed. The hemi-solvate with iso-propanol is 22 WO 2006/037043 PCT/US2005/034813 stable when exposed to 53% relative humidity in an open container. This form is herein referred to as crystalline form D. [0087] The X-ray powder diffraction pattern of form D is depicted in Figure 5. Specifically the X-ray powder diffraction pattern exhibits the following characteristic peaks expressed in d-values (A): 17.2 (s), 16.0 (m), 10.7 (vw), 9.8 (w), 6.6 (m), 6.1 (s), 6.00 (m), 5.73 (w), 5.33 (w), 5.17 (m), 4.91 (m), 4.64 (s), 4.54 (vs), 4.37 (vs), 4.10 (in), 3.91 (m), 3.84 (m), 3.67, (w), 3.55 (m), 3.42 (m), 3.32 (w), 3.13 (w), and 3.06 (m). In various embodiments, form D is present in a solid form of the compound of formula IV in amounts of at least about 50%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, or 98%, with the remainder being other crystalline forms (including hydrates and solvates) and/or amorphous forms. [0088] It was further found that a t-butyl methyl ether (TBME) solvate may be formed, when the amorphous form of the compound of formula IV is subjected to phase equilibration in TBME at ambient temperature. The content of TBME is about 5% by weight relative to the compound of formula IV, measured by thermogravimetry at 10 °C heating rate. This form is herein referred to as crystalline form E. [0089] The X-ray powder diffraction pattern of form E is depicted in Figure 6. Specifically the X-ray powder diffraction pattern exhibits the following characteristic peaks expressed in d-values (A): 17.3 (vs), 16.2 (m), 10.6 (m), 9.8 (m), 8.1 (w), 7.5 (w), 6.6 (m), 6.0 (vs), 5.28 (m), 5.09 (s), 4.90 (m), 4.72 (vs), 4.51 (m), 4.39 (s), 4.26 (s), 4.04 (m), 3.86 (w), 3.70 (w), 3.54 (m), 3.48 (m), 3.02 (w). In various embodiments, form E is present in a solid form of the compound of formula IV in amounts of at least about 50%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, or 98%, with the remainder being other crystalline forms (including hydrates and solvates) and/or amorphous forms. [0090] It was also found that the crystallisation of the compound of formula IV from a solution in tetrahydrofaran (THF) results in a non-stoichiometrical THF solvate, which contains from 0 to about 3% THF relative to the compound of formula IV, as measured by thermogravimetry at a heating rate of 10 °C. The solvent release starts above ambient temperature and is complete near 130 °C. This form is herein referred to as crystalline form F. [0091] The X-ray powder diffraction pattern of form F is depicted in Figure 7. Specifically the X-ray powder diffraction pattern exhibits the following characteristic peaks expressed in d-values (A): 19.0 (w), 16.0 (m), 13.0 (m), 7.8 (w), 6.4 (m), 6.2 (m), 5.74 (w), 5.29 (w), 5.04 (m), 4.83 (m), 4.62 (m), 4.50 (m), 4.34 (m), 4.24 (vs), 4.05 (m), 3.89 (in), 3.76 (m), 3.58 (w), and 3.27 (m). In various embodiments, form F is present in a solid form of the compound of formula IV in amounts of at least about 50%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, or 98%, with the remainder being other crystalline forms (including hydrates and solvates) and/or amorphous forms. 23 WO 2006/037043 PCT/US2005/034813 Stability and Pharmaceutical Formulations [0092] As mentioned above, the compound of formula IV is especially suitable as an active compound or pro-drug in pharmaceutical formulations to inhibit an activity of a monoamine receptor, preferably a serotonin receptor of the 5-HT2A subclass. The compound of formula IV has very good solubility in aqueous systems and the free base is deliberated at physiological pH ranges, providing a high bioavailability. The compound of formula IV also possesses high storage stability. [0093] It was found that crystal form C is the most stable form of all found crystal forms. It was also found that crystal forms A and B are stable at ambient temperatures, stable in the presence of form C, and capable of coexisting with crystal form C. Crystal forms A, B and especially C are suitable for various types and a broad range of formulations, even in presence of humid components. These new crystal forms A, B and especially C present some advantages for manufacture, good handling due to convenient crystal size and morphology, very good stability underproduction conditions of various types of formulation, storage stability, high solubility, and high bio-availability. Crystal forms D, E and F may also be used for pharmaceutical formulations. [0094] Form C is chemically very stable and can easily be formulated into tablets or any other pharmaceutically acceptable dosage form. Despite its high thermal stability it still exhibits favourable solubility properties as its aqueous solubility is greater than about 50 to 100 mg/ml.

Heptane (49 L) was added and the suspension was stirred for 15 min at 40 °C. Then, 8 L of solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure at 38-41 °C. The slurry was cooled to 20 °C and stirred for 1 h. The pToduct was centrifuged and the cake was washed with heptane (5 L). The wet compound of Formula I (5.5 .kg) was dissolved in ethanol (28 L) at 45 °C. A solution of tartaric acid (0.72 kg) in cthanol (11 L) was added at 45 °C and the line was washed with ethanol (9 L). The solution was cooled to 43 °C, seeded with the tartrate salt of the compound of Formula I, then the slurry was cooled to 35 °C in 30 min, stirred at this temperature for 1 h and cooled to -5 °C. After 14 h at this temperature the product was centrifuged and washed with two portions of ethanol (2x6> L). A total of 42 kg of mother liquors were saved for later use in obtaining the tartrate salt. The wet cake was dried at about 45 °C for 76 h to yield 4 kg. c) Additional isolation from mother liquors [0143] Additional product was obtained from the saved mother liquors as follows. The solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure at 24-26 °C from a solution of the crude tartrate mother liquors (107 kg) from step a) and the Formula I-tartrate another 33 WO 2006/037043 PCT/US2005/034813 liquors (42 kg) from step b) to a residual volume of 27 I,. Demineralized water (25 L) was added and the mixture was concentrated to a residual volume of 32 L by distillation under reduced pressure at 24-26 °C. Isopropyl acetate (30 L) and 30% aqueous sodium hydroxide (2.7 kg) were added. The pH was checked (>12) and the solution was stirred for 15 min. The solution was decanted over 15 min and the aqueous phase was separated. The aqueous phase was re- extracted with isopropyl acetate (6 L). Demineralized water (9 L) and sodium chloride (0.9 kg) were added to the combined organic phases, the solution was stirred for 15 min, decanted over 15 min and the aqueous phase was discarded. Charcoal (0.3 kg) was added, the mixture was stirred for 20 min and filtered. After a line wash with isopropyl acetate (8 L), the solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure at 20-25 °C to a residual volume of 12 L, but not to dryness. Heptane (25 L) was added at 30 °C, the slurry was cooled to 20 °C and stirred for 1.5 h. The product was centrifuged and the cake was washed with heptane (2x5 L). The wet cake (4.3 kg) was dissolved in ethanol (23 L) at 45 °C. A solution of tartaric acid (0.58 kg) in ethanol (7.5 L) was added at 45 °C and the line was washed with ethanol (6 L). The solution was stirred for 20 min (crystallization of the product) and the slurry was cooled to 35 °C in 30 min, stirred at this temperature for 1 h and cooled to -5 °C. After 14 h at this temperature the product was centrifuged and washed with two portions of ethanol (2x4 L). The wet cake was dried at about 45 °C for 80 h giving 3.3 kg of product. [0144] PXRD of both products revealed a crystalline sample and the high baseline indicated the presence of amorphous parts and possibly of small amounts of crystalline form C. PXRD reveals that the solid product contains substantially crystalline form A of N-(4- fluorobenzyl)-N-(1-methylpiperidin-4-yl)-N'-(4-(2-methylpropyloxy)phenylmethyl) carbamide hemi-tartrate of formula IV. Crystalline form A contains some water as demonstrated when subjected to heat in thermogravimetric analysis (TG-FTIR, loss of 2.2% attributed to water and a small amount of solvent). The amount indicates that crystalline form A was a hcrni-hydrate (theoretical value of water content 1.8%). However, water was only weakly bound, since the weight loss starts just above ambient temperature and was complete at about 150 °C. The water can also easily be removed by treatment with dry nitrogen for a longer time (about up to 20 hours). The melting point of the dehydrated form A was about 133-135 °C with an enthalpy of fusion of about 70 J/g (peak temperature, measured by DSC). Form A shows a considerable water uptake when exposed to humidity above 75% relative humidity. The water was given off when the relative humidity was decreased to 50% and less. This behaviour was typical for a deliquescent solid. [0145] Approximate solubility was measured by preparation of saturated solutions in various solvents and gravimetric determination of dissolved substance after solvent removal. The results are given in Table 3. 34 WO 2006/037043 PCT/US2005/034813 Table 3: Approximate solubility of the crystalline form A of compound of formula IV Solvent Solubility (mg/ml) 1,4-dioxane ~2 2-propanol acetone ~2 acetone/water (1:1) >200 acetonitrile dichloromethane >30 dimethylsulfoxide >200 cthanol >10 ethyl acetate 2-propanol/water (9:1) methanol > 100 methyl ethyl ketone t-butyl methyl ether tetrahydrofuran >5 toluene water >300 Example 4: Preparation of the hemi-tartrate of fomula IV from crude free base of formula I [0146] Crude product from Example 1(f) (5.5 kg) was dissolved at 45 °C in ethanol (28 L). A solution of (+)-L-tartaric acid (0.72 kg) in ethanol was added at 45 °C and the line was washed with 9 L of ethanol. The solution was cooled to 43 °C and seeded with the hemi-tartrate of formula IV. The slurry was then cooled to 35 °C over 30 min, stirred at this temperature for 1 hour and cooled under stirring to -5 °C. After 14 hours stirring at this temperature, the product was centrifuged and washed with 2 portions of ethanol (2 x 6 L). The wet cake was dried at 45 °C for 76 hours yielding 4.0 kg of product (83%, based on tartaric acid). PXRD of the product re- vealed that polymorph A was formed. Example 5: Preparation of the hemi-tartrate of fomiula IV from crude free base of formula I [0147] Crude product according to Example 1(f) (4.3 kg) was dissolved at 45 °C in ethanol (23 L). A solution of (+)-L-tartaric acid (0.58 kg) in ethanol was added at 45 °C and the line was washed with 6 L of ethanol. The solution was stirred for 20 min (formation of solid precipitate) and the slurry was cooled to 35 °C over 30 min. The slurry was stirred at this temperature for 1 hour and then cooled to -5 °C. After 14 hours stirring at this temperature, the product was centrifuged and washed with 2 portions of ethanol (2x4 L). The wet cake was dried 35 WO 2006/037043 PCT/US2005/034813 at 45 °C for 80 hours yielding 3.3 kg of product (85%, based on tartaric acid). PXRD of the product revealed that polymorph A was formed. Example 6: Preparation of amorphous form of compound of formula IV through lvophilization of" aqueous solution [0148] 2.02 g of crude free base of formula I was dissolved at room temperature in 8.0 ml water (Fluka no. 95306) at 23+2 °C. The obtained solution was filtered through a 0.22 urn millipore filtration unit, and the filtered solution was transferred into a 100 mi round glass flask. The clear solution was frozen in a bed of dry ice (solid CO2) at -78 °C, and subsequently the glass flask with the frozen solution was connected to a lyophilizer. Lyophilizer type: CHRIST, BETA 2-8 LD-2. The initial pressure of was about 0.10 rnbar, and the cold trap temperature was -82 °C, and the end pressure was 0.007 mbar. After about 15 hours, the lyophili/ation was complete and the flask was disconnected.
