example 1

[0019] Compound A (366g) was dissolved in 2-methoxyethanol solution (360ml) containing NaOH (23g) at 50°C, when all solids were dissolved, the temperature was lowered to 15°C, and concentrated hydrochloric acid (28g) was added to the solution . Epichlorohydrin (13 g) was added in one portion and the reaction was monitored by HPLC. After 46 hours the iodixanol content of the reaction mixture was 49.6%. Water (575ml) was added and the temperature was raised to 19°C. The solution was clear at this point, so no further addition of sodium hydroxide was necessary. The pH value was adjusted to 10.8 with 18% hydrochloric acid, and 1 g of compound A was used as a seed crystal to add to the solution. The resulting suspension was again adjusted to pH 4.0 with 18% hydrochloric acid. The suspension was stirred overnight and filtered, washing the filter with water (60ml). The filtrate is further desalted and crystallized in the usual way to obtain iodixanol which is suitable for pharma...

example 2

[0021] Compound A recovered from Example 1 was directly taken out from the filter and was completely dissolved in water (440ml) and 50% NaOH aqueous solution (15ml) without drying, and the solution was filtered through a 3 μm filter to remove trace insolubles. A little more water (50ml) was added to the filtrate. Methanol (95ml) was added to the solution and the temperature was raised to 60°C. The pH value was adjusted from 11.5 to 9.8 with 18% hydrochloric acid, and 0.8 g of compound A was added as a seed crystal. After 30 minutes, the pH was further lowered to 6 with 18% hydrochloric acid. The temperature was gradually lowered to 15°C and the precipitated material was filtered off, washed with methanol (140ml) and dried in vacuo at 60°C. The yield of pure compound A (>99% by HPLC analysis) was 118 g, corresponding to 32% of the compound initially employed in Example 1.

[0022] The recovered Compound A (118 g) was mixed with fresh Compound A (248 g) for a new dimerization...

Abstract

A process for the preparation of iodixanol by dimerisation of 5-acetamido-N, N'- bis(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-2,4,6-triiodo-isophthalamide ('Compound A') in whic h, after the dimerisation step, unreacted Compound A is precipitated from the reaction mixture and recovered for re-use. The process substantially increases the net yield of iodixanol and simplifies its purification.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the preparation of iodixanol. Background technique [0002] Iodixanol (1,3-bis(acetylamino)-N,N'-bis[3,5-bis(2,3-dihydroxypropylaminocarbonyl)-2,4,6-triiodophenyl] -2-hydroxypropane) is a non-ionic X-ray contrast agent, which is currently being produced in large quantities. Some of its preparation methods are well known, but these are multi-step processes, so that the cost of the final product is mainly determined by these processes, therefore, it is very important to optimize these processes from economic and environmental factors. important. [0003] Three main processes for the preparation of iodixanol are known, all starting from 5-nitroisophthalic acid. The first process (NO161358) uses the following route, and the final intermediate used is 5-acetamido-N, N'-bis(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-2,4,6-triiodoisophthalic acid Amide (compound A): [0004] [0005] [0006] Compound A Iodixanol [0007] The ...
