Abstract
A fully protected pteroyl-γ-L-glutamate has been prepared using the picolyl basic ester handle, in conjunction with C-terminal carboxy peptide elongation. By using highly purified pteroic acid the isolation of protected derivatives was readily accomplished. Additionally a number of new L-glutamic acid derivatives are described for the first time.
