The invention discloses a preparation method of X-ray contrast agent ioversol intermediate, belonging to the technical field of organic compound preparation. The chemical name of the intermediate is 5-chloroacetamide-N,N'-bi(2,3-dyhydroxyl propyl)-2,4,6-triiodo-1,3-benzenedicarboxamide. The method utilizes 5-amino-2,4,6-triiodo-1,3-phthalic acid to react with thionyl chloride, and then reacts with chloroacetic chloride to obtain 5-chloroacetamide-2,4,6-triiodo-1,3-benzenedicarbonyl dichloride, finally reacts with 3- amino-1,2- propylene glycol to obtain the 5-chloroacetamide-N,N'-bi(2,3-dyhydroxyl propyl)-2,4,6-triiodo-1,3-benzenedicarboxamide. The method has simple synthesis process route, shortened reaction steps, mild reaction condition, security and reliability, stable quality, high yield, low cost and less equipment investment, thereby being applicable to large-scale industrial production.
