Abstract:
##STR1## wherein Z=H, halo, C. sub. 1 -C. sub. 20 alkyl, cycloalkyl, lower alkoxy, alkoxycarbonyl, cyano, where the alkyl and cycloalkyl groups can be substituted with halogen or halo-lower-alkyl groups; R=C. sub. 1 -C. sub. 25 alkyl, cycloalkyl, ##STR2## or halo-lower-alkyl, each of which may be optionally substituted with halo, fluoro-lower-alkyl, aryl, lower-alkoxy, hydroxy, carboxy, lower-alkoxy carbonyl or lower-alkoxy-carbonyloxy, (CR. sub. 1 R. sub. 2). sub. p --(CR. sub. 3 =CR. sub. 4). sub. m Q ,or (CR. sub. 1 R. sub. 2). sub. p --C. tbd. C--Q; R. sub. 1, R. sub. 2 and R. sub. 3 and R. sub. 4 are independently H, or lower-alkyl, optionally substituted with halo; x is 1-4; n is 1-4; m is 1-15; p is 1-20; and Q is H, lower-alkyl, lower-alkenyl, lower-alkynyl, lower-alkylene, aryl, or aryl-lower alkyl These compounds are combined in a polymer for use as an X-ray contrast agent.
