ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an improved process for preparing .alpha.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester. More specifically, it relates to a process for preparing .alpha.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester which comprises treating, as a raw material, N-formyl-.alpha.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine in methanol in the presence of an acid to form .alpha.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine dimethyl ester, hydrolyzing the .alpha.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine dimethyl ester by bringing it into contact with hydrochloric acid in the presence of methanol as desired, separating the thereby-precipitated .alpha.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester hydrochloride and neutralizing the hydrochloride. Further, this invention also provides a process for preparing .alpha.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester capable of using, as a raw material, N-formyl-.alpha.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine which contains N-formyl-.beta.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine in an amount of 30% by weight or less.
