The present invention relates to a new crystalline modification of 6-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-7-phenyl-2,S-dihydro-1H-pyrrolizin-S-ylacetic acid which is referred to as polymorph B. It has a peak in the solid stateC-NMR spectrum (with adamantane as external reference standard; CH group d=29.45 ppm) in the range from 179.8 to 180.2 ppm and can be processed directly to a pharmaceutical formulation.

Polymorphic form of 6-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-7-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1h-pyrrolizin-5-ylacetic acid

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of 6-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-7-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolizin-5-ylacetic acid, in which 5-benzyl-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole is reacted with &#x3c9;-bromo-4-chloroacetophenone with formation of 6-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-7-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolizine and the acetic acid group is introduced into the 5-position, 5-benzyl-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole being obtained by hydrogenation of 2,2-dimethyl-4-oxo-5-phenylvaleronitrile or a ketal thereof. The invention also relates to processes for the preparation of intermediates occurring in the above process.
