Synthesis of Iomeprol:
ROS-1: Ref: EP 0026281A1
Iomeprol started with commercially available 5-amino-2,4,6-triiodoisophthalic acid, which was couple with formamide followed by thionoyl chloride to get the corresponding acid chloride. Coupling of acid chloride with 3-amino-1,2-propylene glycol to achieve the Iomeprol.

ROS-2: CN 102363600B
Iomeprol started with commercially available 5-amino-2,4,6-triiodoisophthalic acid, which was couple with thionoyl chloride followed bychloro acetyl chloride to get the corresponding acid chloride. Coupling of acid chloride with 3-amino-1,2-propylene glycol, followed by treated with the sodium acetate to achieve the Iomeprol.
