On the Pathway of the Catalytic Reduction of 6‐Methylpterin The catalytic hydrogenation of 6‐methylpterin (I) in neutral or weekly acidic solution begins, as for the 7‐methylpterin, by the thermodynamically controlled reduction of the 7,8‐double bond. It is not possible to say, according to our experiments, which double bound, either the 5,6 or the 7,8, is first reduced in strongly acidic solution. However, a 5,8‐reduction can be excluded.
