R.sub.16 is selected from the group consisting od hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower hydroxyalkyl and lower alkanoyl,

a is 0 or 1

n is an integer from 1 to 5

b is 1 or 2

and the different R.sub.2, R.sub.4 and n which exist when b = 2 may have the same or different meanings, a lower alkyl ester thereof and a salt with a pharmaceutically acceptable base.

2. An X-ray contrast medium comprising an aqueous solution of an effective amount of a compund as claimed in claim 1.
