Abstract

A process for the production of N,N'-bis(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-5-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)glycolamido-2,4,6-triiod oisopht alamide wherein a mixture of 1,1,2-trichloroethane and 5-[(N-(2-acetoxyethyl)acetoxyacetamido]N,N'-bis(2,3-diacetoxypropyl)-2,4,6 -triiodoisophthalamide (hexaacetate) is distilled to remove 1,1,2-trichloroethane, at least a part of which is distilled as an azeotrope with water, so that a solvent exchange is effected to produce a mixture of hexaacetate in water. Hydrolysis of hexaacetate produces the desired product.
