Sulfuric Acid → HCID 20309659, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 58.6 g. of 3-amino-5-(N-methylacetamido)-2,4,6-triiodobenzoic acid, 74 g. of glutaric anhydride and 8 ml. of concentrated sulfuric acid was heated on a steam bath for five hours. The reaction mixture was poured into water and the solid product collected by filtration. The product, consisting of 3-glutarimido-5-(N-methylacetamido)-2,4,6-triiodobenzoic acid (Example 1) was dissolved in excess dilute aqueous sodium hydroxide, and the solution warmed for thirty minutes, then cooled and 3N hydrochloric acid added slowly until precipitation was complete. The solid product was collected and recrystallized first from acetone, then from acetic acid, and finally from water to give 3'-carboxy-5'-(N-methylacetamido)-2',4',6'-triiodoglutaranilic acid, colorless prisms, m.p. 188.8°-196.0° C.
