The present invention relates to protected valacyclovir, N-tert- butoxycarbonyl-L-valine 2-[(2-amino-1,6-dihydro-6-oxo-9H-purin-9-yl) methoxy] ethyl ester, and a method of making it. The present invention further relates to a method of making valacyclovir including the steps of coupling an amine protected valine selected from N-tbutoxycarbonyl valine and N-formyl valine with acyclovir using a coupling agent to form a protected valacyclovir, and deprotecting the protected valacyclovir to form valacyclovir or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The present invention further relates to valacyclovir in pure form, a method of making pure valacyclovir, and to compositions containing pure valacyclovir. ® KIPO & WIPO 2007
