ChEBI: Adipiodone is an organoiodine compound that is 3-amino-2,4,6-triiodobenzoic acid in which one of the amino hydrogens is substituted by a 6-(3-carboxy-2,4,6-triiodoanilino)-6-oxohexanoyl group. It is a water-soluble radiographic contrast media for cholecystography and intravenous cholangiography. It has a role as a radioopaque medium. It is an organoiodine compound, a member of benzoic acids and a secondary carboxamide. It is a conjugate acid of an adipiodone(2-).
125 g of 2,4,6-triiodo-3-amino benzoic acid are dissolved in 250 cc of
chlorobenzene and 15 g of adipic acid dichloride are added at a temperature
between 110° and 130°C drop by drop to the solution. After evolution of
hydrochloric acid (about 2 to 3 hours) has ceased, the precipitated crude
adipic acid di-(3-carboxy-2,4,6-triiodo anilide) of the above formula is filtered
hot with suction, washed with chlorobenzene, extracted by boiling with
methanol and, for purification, dissolved in an amount of methanolic caustic
soda solution required for neutralization, filtered with charcoal, and
precipitated with dilute hydrochloric acid. Yield: 82.3 g, MP 306° to 308°C
(with decomposition).
