Patent Images
1. A process for the preparation of an ester represented by formula (I):
- ##STR3## wherein R1 is hydrogen or C1 -C4 alkyl and R2 is C1 -C4 alkyl, which comprises reacting a zinc salt of an acid represented by formula (II);
##STR4## wherein R1 is as previously identified, with a C1 -C4 alcohol at ambient temperature in the presence of an inorganic acid to form said ester of formula (I);
diluting the reaction mixture with water;
clarifying the diluted reaction mixture;
alkalizing said clarified reaction mixture to about pH 4-6 to precipitate said ester of formula (I); and
, recovering the same.

Abstract
A process for the preparation of dialkyl (p-aminobenzoyl) glutamates is disclosed. Dialkyl (p-Aminobenzoyl) glutamates are useful as intermediates in the synthesis of N-{p-([(2,4-diamino-6-pteridinyl)-methyl]methylamino)benzoyl} glutamic acid, also known as 4-amino-N10 -methylpteroylglutamic acid. The compound zinc N-(p-methylaminobenzoyl)-L-(+)-glutamate, is also disclosed.
