<p>A process for the production of N,N'-bis(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-5-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)glycolamido-2,4,6-triiodoisophthalamide wherein a mixture of an extraction solvent and 5-[N-(2-acetoxyethyl)acetoxyacetamido]-N,N'-bis(2,3-diacetoxypropyl)-2,4,6-triiodoisophthalamide (hexaacetate) is distilled to remove the extraction solvent, at least a part of which is distilled as an azeotrope with water, so that a solvent exchange is effected to produce a mixture of hexaacetate in water. Hydrolysis of hexaacetate produces the desired product.</p> |
