The absolute stereochemistry of the 2‐hydroxyglutaric acid present in methanopterin and its α‐glutamyl derivative, sarcinapterin, has been determined to be ( S ). Thus, the absolute stereochemistry of the 2‐hydroxyglutaric acid present in the side chain of these modified folates is the same as the L ‐glutamic acid present in the side chain of folates.
