Abstract
A process for producing N-formyl-aspartylphenylalanine or its methyl ester, wherein aspartic acid is reacted with formic acid and acetic anhydride in approximately stoichiometric quantities in the presence or absence of a catalyst and phenylalanine or its methyl ester is directly added to the dehydration mixture. This process has a higher yield of the desired N-formyl-dipeptide and minimizes the amount of by-products and unreacted starting materials.
