The main disadvantage in the literature methods for the preparation of 2,4-diamino-6-hydroxymethylpteridine is the necessity to use a pure 1,3-dihydroxyacetone, free of methyl-glyoxal, which affords by condensation a considerable yield of 2,4-diamino-6-methylpteridine. Purification of 1,3-dihydroxyacetone is rather difficult, especially the final distillation under high vacuum.
