Participants

Reaction Steps

600 mg (0.94 mmol) of 6-(4,5,6-triiodo-2,3-dimethyl-3H-3-indolyl)hexanoic acid was heated with 600 mg (4.7 mmol) of 1,3-propane sultone at 100° C. for 40 minutes. The raw product was column purified (Silica gel 60, 0-40% methanol-chloroform) to give 300 mg of 3-[3-(5-carboxypentyl)-4,5,6-triiodo-2,3-dimethyl-3H-1-indoliumyl]-1-propanesulfonate: 7.39 (1H, s, arom.), 4.31 (2H, m, NCH2), 3.27 (3H, s, CH3), 2.34-2.02 (2H, m, CH2), 2.19 (2H, t, CH2CO), 1.98-1.65 (4H, m, CH2), 1.31 (3H, s, CH3), 1.43-1.00 (4H, m, (CH2)3), 0.62-0.35 (2H, m, CH2).
