1,228,852. - [3 - (N - Alkylacylamino) - 2,4,6- triiodophenoxy] aryl acetic acids. BRACCO INDUSTRIA CHIMICA S.p.A. 7 May, 1968 [29 May, 1967], No. 21576/68. Heading C2C. The invention comprises compounds of the formula in which "alkyl" represents an alkyl C 1-4 radical, "acyl" represents an aliphatic acyl C 2-4 radical derived from a carboxylic acid and "aryl" represents a phenyl, halophenyl or alkylphenyl radical and their non-toxic metal and/or amine salts or their esters with lower C 1-5 alcohols. They are prepared by N-alkylating the corresponding -(3-acylamino-2,4,6-triiodo-phenoxy)-arylacetic acid in an alkaline medium with a reactive alkyl ester, or by reacting the corresponding 3 - (N - alkylacylamino) - 2,4,6- triiodophenol with a compound of the formula X.CH(aryl).COOR in which X represents a reactive radical of a strong acid, -COOR represents a carboxylic ester or salt group, in the presence of a basic condensation agent, followed by hydrolysis of the ester, if desired. The ,-(3-acylamino-2,4,6-triiodophenoxy)-aryl acetic acids where aryl represents phenyl, p-iodo phenyl and o, m or p-tolyl are prepared by reacting the corresponding 3-acylamino-2,4,6- triiodophenol with the corresponding -bromoaryl acetic acid ethyl ester, followed by hydrolysis of the resultant ethyl ester. 3 - (N - Methylacetylamino) - 2,4,6 - triiodophenol is obtained from the corresponding acetylamino compound and methyl iodide. Pharmaceutical compositions containing compounds of Formula I as X-ray contrast agents together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier are administered orally and act as cholecystographic agents.
