Abstract: A strainer assembly has a bowl-like strainer member and a removable container member. The container member can be attached to the base of the strainer member, so that grease or other liquids poured into the strainer assembly will drain into the container member. The grease or other drained liquids can be stored in the container member and allowed to cool prior to disposal or reuse. The strainer member can include an optional handle and spout extension.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to an improved process for alkylating a triiodo-substituted arylamide to form a compound suitable for use as an X-ray contrast agent. More particularly, the present disclosure is directed to such a process that limits the formation of fused bicyclic impurities, such as Impurity G, in the alkylation reaction mixture.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a process for preparing an alkylated triiodo-substituted arylamide, such as iodixanol, the process comprising contacting a triiodo-substituted arylamide, such as 5-acetamido-N,N?-bis(2,3-dihydroxylpropyl)-2,4,6-triiodoisophthalamide, and an alkylating agent in the presence of a base and a mixed solvent system comprising a non-aqueous solvent and water, wherein the volume ratio of the non-aqueous solvent to water is greater than 1:1. The process advantageously enables the concentration of any impurities or undesirable byproduct from the reaction to be reduced, while increasing the yield of the desired reaction product.
