A process is provided for the preparation of 10-deazaaminopterins and 5,10- and 8,10-dideazaaminopterins starting from the corresponding homoterephthalic acid diester coupling the corresponding dicarboxylic acid diester having the formula: ##STR1## with the corresponding diaminopterin 6-methylene halide having the formula: ##STR2## thereby forming a pteroic acid diester having the formula: ##STR3## hydrolysing the two ester groups to form the corresponding carboxylic acid groups, and then monodecarboxylating the diacid, thereby removing the carboxylic acid group attached to the carbon alpha to the A group and forming a pteroic acid.
