Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for the preparation of a 2,4,6-triiodo-phenol derivative comprising the tri-iodination of a phenol derivative.
  • the 2,4,6-triiodo-phenol is an intermediate for the synthesis of conventional X-ray contrast agents, such as iomeprol.
  • Non-ionic X-ray contrast agents are a well-known class of contrast agents characterized by its triiodinated aromatic structure. Suitable examples of the same include diatrizoate, iothalamate, ioxithalamate, metrizoate, iohexol, iomeprol, iopamidol, iopentol, iopromide, ioversol, ioxilan, iosarcol, iogulamide, acetrizoate and iodamide, which are monomeric; and ioxaglate, iodixanol, iotrolan, iotasul, iodipamide, iocarmate, iodoxamate, iotroxate and iotrolan, which are dimeric.
  • Other examples of triiodinated aromatic compounds useful as non-ionic X-ray contrast agents are described, for instance, in WO 94/14478.
  • the iodination step of a phenol derivative for the preparation of the 2,4,6-triiodo- phenol derivative is conventionally carried out using ICI in concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCI), or the analogues salts of ICI, such as KICI2 and NalCh, in aqueous solution, as disclosed for example in WO 00/32561 and US 3,914,294.
  • HCI concentrated hydrochloric acid
  • KICI2 and NalCh analogues salts of ICI, such as KICI2 and NalCh
  • ICI and analogues thereof are strong corrosive acids with limited storage life and stability, which generate iodine vapours even at room temperature.
  • ICI can be generally stabilized with high quantity of HCI, which in turn must be neutralized prior to waste treatment, leading thus to an increase in operation time, waste volumes and costs.
  • WO 2009/103666 discloses the synthesis of triiodinated aromatic compounds by electrochemical triioduration of 3,5-disubstituted phenol derivatives.
  • the triiodination reaction carried out in WO 2009/103666 requires stepwise addition of the substrate, reaction times higher than 2 hours, and heating the reaction mixture at reflux.
  • WO 2011/154500 discloses the in-situ generation of the iodinating species, from iodine h and a suitable oxidant, typically HIO3, to prepare iodinated phenols, by heating the reaction mixture to 60 °C. It should be noted that heating at 60 °C or higher during the iodination reaction, in particular when the substrate contains hydrolysable moieties, such as the amide moieties that are present in iomeprol intermediates, leads to partial hydrolyzation of such moieties, and consequently to a reduction of the overall yield and to the generation of by-products.
  • Yusubov M. et al. discloses the solvent-free monoiodination of nitrophenols and other aromatic compounds by h/AgNCh, obtained after grinding for 10-30 min in an agate mortar, with a yield ranging from 54 to 90%.
  • This iodination takes place in a short amount of time in the solid-state, or as a slurry formed by the addition of few drops of acetic acid.
  • the reaction is not complete as yields do not exceed 90%.
  • carrying out the reaction in a solid-state or slurry is not advantageous from an industrial development standpoint.
  • Applicant has now found a new iodination process that allows to carry out the iodination of the substrate with good reaction times and good yields, advantageously in mild reaction conditions.
  • the present invention relates to a process for the tri-iodination of a phenol of formula (I), or a salt thereof, to obtain the 2,4,6-triiodophenol of formula (II), or a salt thereof

Moreover, the process of the invention provides high yields and substantially complete conversion of the phenol to the 2,4,6-triiodophenol by operating at room temperature and with low reaction times. Furthermore, the process of the invention is advantageously carried out in an aqueous medium, thereby improving the safety and costeffectiveness of the process of the invention compared to some of the prior art tri- iodination processes.

  • AgNCh solution (10 mL, 0.02 M HNO3, 0.15 M NaNCh, 25°C) was titrated with standardized 0.015 M KI solution.
  • the pl values calculated from measured E(mV) as a function of VKI (mL) have been used to calculate the concentration of the AgNCh recovered from Agl.
  • the concentration of the 50 mL Nal and 20 mL AgNCh stock solutions obtained from the recovery of Agl precipitate was found to be 0.00361 and 0.009773 mol/dm 3 (T: 0.181 mmol; Ag + : 0.196 mmol), respectively.
  • the yield of the T and Ag + recovery was found to be 91 and 98%, respectively.
