A process comprising: (a) distilling a melt comprising crude alkanesulfonic acid to completely or partly remove low boilers, wherein the low boilers are drawn off at the top of a distillation column or of a one-stage evaporation apparatus and a material stream comprising alkanesulfonic acid, high boilers and residual low boilers is withdrawn at the bottom of the distillation column or of the one-stage evaporation apparatus, (b) sending the stream comprising alkanesulfonic acid, high boilers and residual low boilers into a melt crystallization as the starting melt to obtain crystals formed from the alkanesulfonic acid, hydrates of the alkanesulfonic acid or a mixture of both suspended in mother liquor, (c) performing a solid-liquid separation to remove the crystals from the mother liquor, and (d) optionally washing the crystals to remove mother liquor adhering to the crystals.

Disclosed herein are plinabulin polymorphs, compositions, their use and preparation as therapeutic agents. In particular, some embodiments relate to plinabulin monohydrate in a crystalline form.

A method for purifying crystals in a glass or metal container. A hydrocarbon is introduced into feed material containing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The feed material and hydrocarbon is placed in a glass or metal container. The hydrocarbon is then removed within a few minutes after introduction, leaving at least some hydrocarbon in the feed material. Pressure is allowed to build within the container in an oven or in a jacketed vessel for 2-3 weeks. During this time, THC acid crystals precipitate out and fall to the bottom of the container. The contents of the container are poured into a Buchner funnel and a vacuum is applied thereto in order to pull terpenes into a beaker. The terpenes are placed into an oven in order to purge off any remaining solvent. The funnel is then scraped to acquire THC acid crystals.

A resin containing a desirable compound is extracted from plant material and dissolved in a volatile non-polar solvent. The solvent is evaporated, cooling the solution and increasing the saturation level of the compound in the solution. A second volatile non-polar solvent, in which the compound is less soluble, is then added to the solution and evaporated. This again cools the solution and increases the saturation level until the compound has started to crystallize. The crystals are then filtered and rinsed. Crystallization is more rapid compared to traditional techniques. The resin is obtained from the plant material using an extraction solvent to form a solution, which is then floated above an immiscible liquid, where it is drawn off through a screen and the extraction solvent evaporated.

A Reflux Rinsing apparatus for purifying crystals using solvent vapor through dynamic equilibrium recrystallization. A pressure vessel contains a liquefied gas solvent, impure crystalline starting material initially, and a purified crystalline mass at the conclusion of the purifying process. A mechanism is provided for providing pressure to contents of the pressure vessel and for heating the lower portion thereof. A timer is also connected to the mechanism, the timer being set to heat the pressure vessel to drive vapors and reflux rinsing to remove impurities at the surface of an impure crystalline mass, to reclaim the solvent, leaving purified crystals and impurities in the pressure vessel, and to open the pressure vessel to remove the purified crystals from the vessel walls and bottom surface and to remove the impurities from the vessel. The angle of a crystal bed in the apparatus can be adjusted.
