Description
5-Amino-N,N'-bis(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-2,4,6-triiodo-1,3-benzenedicarboxamide
is an experimental compound that is used in the industrial preparation
of pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals. It has a molecular weight
of 191.14 g/mol. The crystallization process involves the use of
ethanol to create supersaturation and then cooling to induce
crystallization. This compound can be synthesized by an iodination
reaction with x-ray irradiation at low temperatures.
Chemical Properties
White to Off-White Solid.
Uses
Used as an intermediate in the industrial preparation of non-ionic X-ray contrast agents such as Iohexol (I729500), Ioversol (I737000), Ioxilan (I737500), Iopamidol (I735600).
