ABSTRACT:
Process for the production of methotrexate, which is N[p-([(2,4-diamino-6-pteridyl)-methyl]-N.sup.10 -methylamino)-benzoyl]-L-glutamic acid. The process includes converting 1,1-dichloroacetone with 2,4,5,6-tetraaminopyrimidine in the presence of sodium bisulfite at a constant pH between 3.5 and 5 and at a temperature between 10.degree. and 100.degree. C. The resultant 2,4-diamino-6-methylpteridine is converted in a reaction medium with bromide. 0.3 to 1.0 ml of bromine is used per 1.0 g of the 2,4-diamino-6-methylpteridine. The 2,4-diamino-6-bromo methyl pteridine is converted with p-(N-methyl)-aminobenzoyl-L-glutamic acid or a salt thereof in a polar reaction medium into methoxtrexate.
