## 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

✦ Synopsis
A general method for synthesis of folic acid, its conjugates and analogues.
A new and general method for the synthesis of folic acid, folic acid conjugates and folic acid analogues is described. The key step, i.e. the condensation of N(2′)‐acetyl‐6‐formyl‐pterine (I: R^1^ COCH~3~) with aminoaryl derivatives II, is achieved by refluxing in absolute ethanol to afford the azomethines III. NaBH~4~‐reduction followed by basic hydrolysis gives pure V products in high yield, free from 7‐isomers.
