Abstract
A new, simplified and unequivocal synthesis of folic acid free of isomers is described. A melt of N(2′)‐acetyl‐6‐formylpterine and dimethyl‐N‐(p‐aminobenzoyl)‐L‐glutamate was quantitatively converted to 6‐azomethin‐pterine‐ester IV. NaBH~4~‐reduction followed by basic hydrolysis of acetyl and ester groups gives pure folic acid in good yield.
