Procedure
Ten milligrams of platinum black was dispersed into 10 ml of 10% aqueous solution of potassium carbonate, and then the catalyst was activated with hydrogen gas. Then, 10 ml of 10% aqueous solution of potassium carbonate containing 50 mg of biopterin was added to the above dispersion. After the catalytic reduction was conducted by agitating the resulting mixture for 20 hours under normal temperature and normal pressure in a hydrogen atmosphere, the reaction mixture was adjusted to pH 1 by adding 20 ml of 10% aqueous solution of sulfuric acid. The catalyst was filtered off from the reaction mixture to give a solution of tetrahydrobiopterin having a (6R)/(6S) ratio of 90/10 as measured by HPLC.
