Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

At maximally 10° C., 29.0 ml. of thionyl chloride is added dropwise under agitation to 28.2 ml. of methoxyacetic acid in 100 ml. of dimethylacetamide within 40 minutes. After, at 0° C., the reaction mixture has been agitated for another 2 hours, 63.0 g. (0.1 mole) of N-(3-carboxy-5-amino-2,4,6-triiodobenzoyl)-glycine methylamide (IVa), m.p. 252°-253° C. (decomposition), in 100 ml. of dimethylacetamide is added dropwise under agitation to the reaction mixture at maximally 8° C. during the course of one hour. Then, the solution is agitated overnight. After the addition of 5 ml. of water, the mixture is concentrated under vacuum, the residue is stirred with 700 ml. of water, the precipitate is vacuum-filtered, carefully washed with water, and, while still moist, reprecipitated from dilute ammonia with concentrated hydrochloric acid. After allowing the mixture to stand for some time, the acid is vacuum-filtered, washed well with water, stirred with fresh water, and, after another filtering step, dried under vacuum at 70° C.
