35. In order to further explore the possibility of obtaining a conglomerate crystalline phase from a racemic sample of 2, re-crystallization of the sample of 2 obtained directly from the reaction was carried out using a variety of solvents and under a range of different concentration conditions. The samples obtained were either phase II or phase III or mixtures of phases II and III. We found no evidence for the formation of phase I in these re-crystallization experiments.
