Reaction Steps

50 g (76.1 mmol) of N,N-bis-(2-aminoethyl)-5-(methylamino)-2,4,6-triiodoisophthalic acid amide (title compound 1a) is dissolved in 500 ml of dimethylacetamide, and at 0° C., 70.6 g (350 mmol) of bromoacetyl bromide (Aldrich) is added in drops over 15 minutes. Then, it is stirred for 20 hours at 40° C. The reaction mixture is poured into 4000 ml of ice water, the accumulating solid is filtered off, dissolved in 800 ml of ethyl acetate and extracted three times with 250 ml each of water. The organic phase is dried on sodium sulfate, and the solvent is evaporated to the dry state. The crude product is recrystallized from methyl-tert-butyl ether.
