Abstract: The present invention discloses a process for recovery of a boronic acid of formula R3—B(OH)2, wherein R3 is selected from the group consisting of C1-C6 linear or branched alkyl, C3-C6 cycloalkyl, and C6 aryl, optionally substituted with a group selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, t-butyl, and phenyl, comprising admixing the boronic acid with a water-immiscible organic solvent in a weight ratio between the boronic acid and the water-immiscible organic solvent from 1:10 to 1:20, adding an aqueous solution to a final pH of neutral, and partitioning the boronic acid into an organic water-immiscible phase and recovery of the organic water-immiscible phase.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a process for the preparation of Iopamidol of formula (II) and comprising the following steps: a) reacting the Compound (I) wherein X is OR2 or R3, and wherein R2 and R3 are a C1-C6 linear or branched alkyl, C3-C6 cycloalkyl, C6 aryl, optionally substituted with a group selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, t-butyl and phenyl, with the acylating agent (S)-2-(acetyloxy)propanoyl chloride in a reaction medium to provide the acetyloxy derivative of Compound (I); b) hydrolyzing the intermediate from step a) with an aqueous solution at a pH comprised from 0 to 7, by adding water or a diluted alkaline solution such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, freeing the hydroxyls from the boron-containing protective groups, obtaining the N-(S)-2-(acetyloxy)propanoyl derivative of Compound (II); c) alkaline hydrolysis to restore the (S)-2-(hydroxy)propanoyl group and to obtain Iopamidol (II) and optional recovery of the bor

Abstract: The present invention discloses a process for the preparation of Iopamidol of formula (II) and comprising the following steps: a) reacting the Compound (I) wherein X is OR2 or R3, and wherein R2 and R3 are a Ci-C6 linear or branched alkyl, C3-C6 cycloalkyl, C6 aryl, optionally substituted with a group selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, t-butyl and phenyl, with the acylating agent (S)-2-(acetyloxy)propanoyl chloride in a reaction medium to provide the acetyloxy derivative of Compound (I); b) hydrolyzing the intermediate from step a) with an aqueous solution at a pH comprised from 0 to 7, by adding water or a diluted alkaline solution such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, freeing the hydroxyls from the boron-containing protective groups, obtaining the N—(S)-2-(acetyloxy)propanoyl derivative of Compound (II); c) alkaline N hydrolysis to restore the (S)-2-(hydroxy)propanoyl group and to obtain Iopamidol (II) and optional recovery of the boron de
