Synthesis of iodixanol in methanol

摘要

This invention relates to the synthesis of iodixanol (1,3-bis(acetamido)-N,N'-bis[3,5-bis(2,3-dihydroxypropylaminocarbonyl)-2,4,6-triiodophenyl]-2-hydroxypropane), more specifically to the dimerisation of 5-acetamido-N,N'-bis(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-2,4,6-triiodo-isophthalamide with methanol as solvent.
