A process for preparing an α-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester which comprises the steps of reacting formyl-L-aspartic anhydride with L-phenylalanine in the presence of water at a high pH, to produce formyl-α-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine; removing the formyl group from the formyl-α-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine and esterifying the resultant compound with methanol and hydrogen chloride to produce the hydrogen chloride salt of α-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester; neutralizing the hydrogen chloride salt of α-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester; and filtering the neutralized solution to produce α-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester.
