Optically active 3,3-diarylpropylamine derivatives are produced in six steps from 4-hydroxybenzoic acid or an alkyl 4-hydroxybenzoate and cinnamic acid via new and known phenyl-chromanone and phenyl-chromanol compounds. Production of optically active 3,3-diarylpropylamine derivatives of formula (I) comprises: (A) condensation of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid or an alkyl 4-hydroxybenzoate (II) with cinnamic acid; (B) reaction of the resulting (R,S)-2-oxo-4-phenylchromane of formula (III) with cinchonidine; (C) acidification of the (R)-2-oxo-4-phenylchromane cinchonidine salt of formula (IV) obtained; (D) isolation of the resulting (R)-6-carboxy-2-oxo-4-phenylchromane (V) and reaction of this, after conversion into an activated form, with an alcohol (VI); (E) reduction of the alkyl (R)-2-oxo-4-phenylchromane-6-carboxylate (VII) obtained with diisobutylaluminum hydride or lithium tri-tert.butoxyaluminum hydride; and (F) reductive amination of the resulting lactol (VIII) with a primary, secondary or tertiary amine. [Image] [Image] R : H; or 1-6C alkyl, preferably methyl or isopropyl, but R in compound (VI) is 1-6C alkyl); R', R'' and R 1>1-6C alkyl, preferably methyl or isopropyl. Independent claims are also included for: (a) the (R,S)-2-oxo-4-phenylchromane (III) (R = H); (b) the (R)-2-oxo-4-phenylchromane cinchonidine salt (IV); (c) the (R)-6-carboxy-2-oxo-4-phenylchromane (V); and (d) the (R)-hydroxybenzyl alcohol salt of formula (IX).
