The existing preparation methods have many deficiencies, such as cumbersome reaction steps, harsh reaction conditions, low yields, and difficulty in achieving the requirements of high-purity impurity reference substances in terms of purity. These deficiencies limit the in-depth research on iopromide impurities and also bring difficulties to the quality control of iopromide.

This not only helps to promote the progress of iopromide impurity research but also provides strong support for the quality control of iopromide, thereby ensuring the safety of patients' medication and promoting the healthy development of the pharmaceutical industry.

[0007] Step S1: Using 3-methoxyacetamido-5-(2,3-dihydroxypropylcarbamoyl)-2,4,6-triiodobenzoyl chloride as a raw material, after dissolving it in an organic solvent and adding a catalyst, reacting with an acylating reagent to obtain an intermediate product;

[0008] Step S2: Dissolving the intermediate product obtained in Step S1 in Solvent II, adding a base and stirring, then adding iopromide, and reacting to obtain a precursor compound of iopromide EP impurity E;

[0009] Step S3: Subjecting the precursor compound of iopromide EP impurity E obtained in Step S2 to alkaline hydrolysis, extracting with an organic solvent, then adjusting the pH of the aqueous layer to acidic, and precipitating a solid to obtain iopromide EP impurity E.

[0019] Adopting the technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] The present invention provides a method for preparing iopromide-related impurities with high yield and high purity. This method is simple to operate and the raw materials are easily available. The prepared 3-(3-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)carbamoyl)-2,4,6-triiodo-5-(2-methoxyacetamide)-N-methylbenzamide)-2-hydroxypropyl 3-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)carbamoyl)-2,4,6-triiodo-5-(2-methoxyacetamide)benzoate is more than 98%, all meeting the requirements as an impurity reference substance, and playing a positive role in the research and inspection of iopromide-related impurities.

[0021] By optimizing the reaction conditions and selecting appropriate catalysts and solvents, the present invention can efficiently synthesize iopromide EP impurity E. The purity of the final product can reach 99.81%, and the highest yield can reach 28.33%, which significantly outperforms the common problems of low purity and low yield in the prior art and can provide high-quality reference substances for the research and detection of iopromide impurities.

[0022] The present invention adopts mild conditions of 80 °C or room temperature in the acylation reaction, avoiding the equipment requirements and safety hazards brought by high temperature and high pressure. The coupling reaction is carried out at 0 °C and then raised to room temperature, effectively controlling the reaction rate and reducing the occurrence of side reactions. These mild reaction conditions not only improve the reaction selectivity and product purity but also reduce the production cost and operation difficulty.

[0023] The preparation method of the present invention has clear operation steps and does not require complex equipment and cumbersome purification processes. For example, purification is carried out through macroporous adsorption resin and anion and cation resins, and finally recrystallization in ethanol can obtain high-purity iopromide EP impurity E. This method is easy to operate, suitable for large-scale production, reduces the production cost, and improves the production efficiency.

[0024] The present invention is not only applicable to the preparation of iopromide EP impurity E but also can be extended to the synthesis of other complex organic compounds. For example, by adjusting the catalyst and solvent system, similar amide compounds can be synthesized, having broad application prospects.

[0025] By optimizing the reaction conditions and increasing the yield, the present invention significantly reduces the production cost. For example, by increasing the dosage of DMAP and using DMSO as the solvent, the reaction efficiency and product yield are further improved, and the production cost per unit product is reduced.

[0026] The reaction conditions adopted by the present invention are mild, avoiding the safety hazards brought by high temperature and high pressure. At the same time, by optimizing the reaction steps, the occurrence of side reactions is reduced, and the operation risk is lowered. For example, using DIEA as the base for the coupling reaction (Example 1) is milder than using K2CO3 (Examples 2 and 3), further improving the reaction safety.

[0027] The preparation method of the present invention has high innovation. By introducing nano-catalysts, biocatalysts, and advanced purification technologies, etc., the reaction selectivity and efficiency are significantly improved, while the purification steps are simplified and the purification cost is reduced. In addition, the preparation method of the present invention is not only applicable to the preparation of iopromide EP impurity E but also can be extended to the synthesis of other complex organic compounds, having broad application prospects.

[0028] The present invention also introduces bio-based protectants (such as chitosan, cellulose derivatives or tannic acid) to modify the raw materials, which improves the activity and selectivity of the reaction and reduces the environmental impact at the same time.

[0029] Through the verification of Specific Examples 1, 2 and 3, the preparation method of the present invention can efficiently synthesize high-purity Iopromide EP Impurity E under different conditions. In Example 1, the product purity reached 99.81% and the yield was 27.15%; in Example 2, the product purity was 99.5% and the yield was 28.33%; in Example 3, the product purity was 99.3% and the yield was 26.67%.
