Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Amino-2,4,6-triiodo-N-[tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl]isophthalamic acid (50.0 g., 0.076 mol.) was added in one portion to a stirred solution of sulfuric acid (0.36 ml.) in acetic anhydride (136.0 ml.). The temperature of the reaction mixture rose briefly to 82° and dissolution was effected. As the reaction mixture cooled to room temperature, the product began to precipitate at 47° and the mixture was diluted with toluene (100 ml.). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr., and filtered. The filter cake was washed with toluene (50 ml.), dried, dissolved in hot methanol (300 ml.), and treated with charcoal (6 g.). After removal of the charcoal, the product precipitated from the cold solution and was collected and dried (70°) to give white crystalline 5-acetamido-2,4,6-triiodo-N-[tris(acetoxymethyl)methyl]-isophthalamic acid (38.8 g.) m.p. 248-251 (dec., uncorr.). (Yield, 62%). This material was pure by TLC analysis (benzene, 2-butanone, 88% formic acid; 60:25:20) and its structure was confirmed by IR and NMR.
