    Abstract: Disclosed is solid fipronil (formula I) comprising at least 98% by weight of the crystalline modification V fipronil showing, in an X-ray powder diffractogram recorded using Cu-Ka radiation at 25 degrees C, at least 3 of the following reflexes: (1) 2theta = 10.3 ± 0.2 degrees (2) 2theta = 11.1 ± 0.2 degrees (3) 2theta = 13.0 ± 0.2 degrees (4) 2theta = 16.2 ± 0.2 degrees (5) 2theta = 20.3 ± 0.2 degrees (6) 2theta = 31.5 ± 0.2 degrees and a melting point in the range of 201 to 203 degrees C. Also disclosed is a process for preparing crystalline modification V fipronil comprising the steps of: step i) preparing a solution of a solid form of fipronil being different from the crystalline modification V in a solvent S selected from dimethylsulfoxide having a temperature of 100 degrees C to 150 degrees C or acetonitrile having a temperature of 60 degrees C to 81degrees C; step ii) effecting crystallization of fipronil from the solution; and step iii) isolating the resulting precipitate. Also disclosed is the use of the crystalline modification V fipronil for the control of pests and methods of control of pests such as parasites, insects, arachnids or plant nematodes.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for preparing solid fipronil comprising at least 85 percent by weight of the crystalline modification I of fipronil being present in the monoclinic system having the centrosymmetric space group C2/c comprising the steps of: step i) preparing a solution of a solid form of fipronil being different from the crystalline modification I in a solvent S comprising at least one acetonitrile, dimethylsulfoxide, or at least one benzene derivative; step ii) effecting crystallization of fipronil; and step iii) isolating the resulting precipitate wherein, in case the solvent S is pure acetonitrile, the crystallization step ii) is conducted at temperatures below 40 degrees Celsius and in case the solvent S is pure dimethylsulfoxide, the crystallization step ii) is conducted at temperatures below 80 degrees Celsius.
