SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0006] One embodiment disclosed herein includes a method for the preparation of a compound of formula I: that includes reacting (4-fluorobenzyl)-(1-methylpiperidin-4-yl)amine of formula II with 4-(2-methylpropyloxy)phenylmethy-isocyanate of formula III

[0007] In some embodiments, about 0.9 to about 1.1 equivalents of the (4-fluorobenzyl)-(1-methylpiperidin-4-yl)amine is used per equivalent of the 4-(2-methylpropyloxy)phenylmethy-isocyanate. Some embodiments further include isolating the compound of formula I after the reacting. In some embodiments, the isolating includes adding a salt-forming acid after the reacting, isolating the formed salt by solvent removal, precipitation, or both solvent removal and precipitation, adding the isolated salt to a two phase system comprising an organic solvent phase and an alkaline aqueous phase, and obtaining the compound of formula I from the organic solvent phase. In some embodiments, the salt forming acid is selected from the group consisting of one or more of the following: mineral acids, mono- or dicarboxylic acids, and sulfonic acids. In some embodiments, the pH of the aqueous phase is greater than about 8.5. In one embodiment this pH is obtained by adding an aqueous alkaline metal hydroxide. In some embodiments, the reaction is carried out in the presence of an inert organic solvent. In some embodiments, the solvent is selected from the group consisting of one or more of the following: aliphatic ethers, esters of aliphatic carboxylic acids, alcohols, lactones, halogenated hydrocarbons, and aliphatic C.sub.3-C.sub.8 ketones. In some embodiments, the reaction is carried out at a temperature from about -30.degree. C. to about 60.degree. C.

[0008] Another embodiment disclosed herein includes a crystalline form of N-(4-fluorobenzyl)-N-(1-methylpiperidin-4-yl)-N'-(4-(2-methylpropyloxy)ph- enylmethyl) carbamide that exhibits a melting point of about 124.degree. C., determined with Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) at a heating rate of 10.degree. C./minute.

[0009] Another embodiment disclosed herein includes a crystalline form of N-(4-fluorobenzyl)-N-(1-methylpiperidin-4-yl)-N'-(4-(2-methylpropyloxy)ph- enylmethyl) carbamide that exhibits a X-ray powder diffraction pattern comprising peaks having d-values in angstroms of about 13.0, about 10.9, about 6.5, about 4.7, about 4.3, about 4.22, and about 4.00. In one embodiment, the crystalline form exhibits a X-ray powder diffraction pattern comprising peaks having d-values in angstroms of about 13.0, about 10.9, about 6.8, about 6.5, about 6.2, about 5.2, about 4.7, about 4.5, about 4.3, about 4.22, about 4.00, about 3.53, about 3.40, about 3.28, about 3.24, about 3.19, about 3.08, about 2.91, and about 2.72.
