Reaction Conditions:
with hydrogenchloride;boric acid;potassium hydroxide in water; pH=10 - 11Product distribution / selectivity;Industry scale;
Steps:
1
Compound A (1120.5 kg, 1.50 kmol) was dissolved in a solution of KOH (140.0 kg, 2.25 kmol) in water (1232.6 kg), the temperature was controlled to below 20°C, boric acid (64.9 kg, 1.05 kmol) was equally added in a batch manner, and hydrochloric acid (30.4 kg, 0.30 kmol) was added dropwise, followed by epichlorohydrin (83.3 kg, 0.90 kmol), which was added dropwise. The pH during the reaction is 10-11. The reaction was monitored and a sample was analyzed by HPLC. The reaction was quenched by adding water (1232.6 kg) and adjusting the pH to within the range 5-6 with 18% of hydrochloric acid when the content of Compound A was below 5%.The reaction mixture was then decolorized with active charcoal and filtered. The filtrate contained 86.3% of iodixanol, 7.5% of iohexol, 2.9% of compound A and 2.7% of O-alkylated by-products and other impurities by HPLC analysis.
