Procedure
Ten milligrams of palladium oxide was dispersed into 10 ml of 5% aqueous sulfuric acid solution, and then the catalyst was activated with hydrogen gas. Then, 10 ml of 5% aqueous sulfuric acid solution containing 50 mg of biopterin was added to the above dispersion. After the catalytic reduction was conducted by agitating the resulting mixture for 3 hours under normal temperature and normal pressure in a hydrogen atmosphere, the catalyst was filtered off from the reaction mixture to give a sulfuric acid solution of tetrahydrobiopterin having a (6R)/(6S) ratio of 70/30 as measured by HPLC.
