ABSTRACT:
(6S)-THF is obtained by adding, in portions, an acid to an aqueous solution of a (6RS)-diastereoisomeric mixture of an alkali metal salt of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolic acid. The addition is made at a temperature from 5.degree. C. to 80.degree. C. for the purpose of the selective crystallization for a period sufficient to stabilize the pH to a value of from 4.8 to 5.3. Then, the formed solid, i.e., (6S)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolic acid, is separated.
