Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2581208A] A crystalline modification I of 5-(4-chlorobenzy1)-2,2-dimethy1-1-(1H­-1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)cyclopentanol (metconazole) characterized by exhibiting at least 3 of the following reflexes, in any combination, as 2θ ± 0.2 degree in an X-ray powder diffractogram (X-RPD) recorded using Cu—Ka radiation at 25°C: 10.3 ± 0.2, 15.6 ± 0.2, 20.6 ± 0.2, 22.2 ± 0.2, 23.3 ± 0.2. The crystalline modification I may be further characterized by exhibiting functional group vibrational peaks at wavenumbers (cm-1 ± 0.2%) of one or more of 3337, 2963, 2871, 1508, 1492, 1425, 1406, 1385, 1271, 1137 and 1013; or by exhibiting a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) profile having an endothermic melting peak maximum at 113.3 °C. The crystalline modification may be characterized by spectra substantially as shown in Figures 1-3. A method of preparing the crystalline modification is also provided, particularly wherein the crystalline modification is provided by recrystallizing metconazole from xylene, methyl t-butyl ether or a mixture thereof, such method may include the use of seed crystals of the crystalline modification. Compositions comprising the crystalline modification and its use in controlling fungal infestations are also provided.
