• Gadolinium oxide are stirred in 80 ml of water at 80 ° C for 30 minutes. You cool down
• Ytterbium oxide are stirred in 80 ml of water at 80 ° C for 4 days. You cool down
• Manganese (II) carbonate is stirred in 80 ml of water at 80 ° C for 2 hours. You cool down
• 1.0 ml of a hydrochloric acid solution of 1.0 mCi indium III chloride are adjusted to pH 7.5 with saturated, aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution.
• 2.0 mg (2.0 / mol) of the deca acid prepared according to Example 6g) are added, the sample is filtered through a membrane filter and the filtrate is autoclaved in a closed glass ampoule. The solution is ready to use.
• meso-2,3-diaminosuccinic acid-N, N'-bis (2-methoxyethyl) diamide, diacetate is analogous to the conditions described in Example 6a in meso-2,3-di- (benzylamino) -be ⁇ -succinic acid-N ', N'-bis- (2-methoxyethyl) diamide and dialkylated analogously to the conditions described in Example 6b with N, N-bis - [(tert-butyloxycarbonyl) methyl] - 2-bromethylamine .
• the alkylation product is then hydrogenolytically debenzylated in accordance with the conditions described in Example 6c and then with l-bromo-2- [N, N-bis - ((tert-butyloxycarbonyl) methyl) amino] prepared in analogy to Example 6d - 6e - [(4-ethoxy) phenyl] propane dialkylated according to the conditions given in Example 6f.
• the octaester thus obtained is now hydrolyzed analogously to the conditions described in Examples 6g and 6h and converted into the title compound using ytterbium carbonate.
