摘要:
A process for the preparation of 5-acylamino-2,4,6-triiodo or tribromo-benzoic acid derivatives of formula (I), wherein X is I or Br, R is H or a variously substituted alkyl, or a group of formula (II), wherein X has the above meanings; Y is hydroxy, alkoxy, hydroxyalkoxy, alkylamino or hydroxyalkylamino; Z may be the same as COY or it is hydroxylalkylaminocarbonyl provided that at least one of the two acyl or R groups is hydroxy-substituted, which process comprises the rearrangement of the corresponding 5-(alkylaminocarbonyl-alkoxy)-2,4,6-trioodo ro tribromo-benzoic acid derivatives, in the presence of bases.
