DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The compound of formula 1, also referred to herein as (3R-cis)-3-(4,6-dihydroxychroman-3-ylmethyl)benzoic acid, is a novel compound prepared by acidifying the diasteriomeric salt of the compound of formula I and the compound of formula lll in the presence of a solvent for the free acid.
The acidification is effected using an acid with a pK" of about c 3 such as HCI,H2SO4, oxalic and citric acids.
The diasteriomeric salt of the compound of formula I and the compound of formula lll is prepared by heating the compounds of formulae ll and lll in the presence of a non-solvent for said salt and recovered, after cooling to room temperature, by filtration.
Non-solvents for the diasteriomeric salt include ethanol and isopropanol. The preferred non-solvent is ethanol.
The reaction is preferably carried out at a temperature between about 0C and about 80C, preferably at the reflux temperature of the non-solvent. Most preferably the reaction is effected at about 80C.
The treatment of the compound of formula ll with the compound of formula lll is carried out over a period of about 30 minutes to about 3 hours, preferably about 1 hour.
The salt is purified by slurrying with the non-solvent at an elevated temperature followed by filtration at about room temperature. The slurrying procedure is, preferably, effected two times.

Alternatively, the 3S- acid may be prepared by treating the filtrate from the preparation of the diasteriomeric salt of the compound of formula I with acid followed by said (+) base followed by the above-indicated treatment for the salts with the (-) base.
Racemic cls-3-(4,6-dihydroxychroman-3-ylmethyl)benzoic acid (compound ll) is prepared, according to the invention, by the novel process of treating the compound of formula IV with a solution of a reducing agent in tetrahydrofuran/methanol. rlefer,ed reducing agents are diisobutylaluminum hydride and borohydride in the presence of a Ce (Ill) salt. A most preferred reducing agent is borohydride ion in the presence of a Ce(lll) salt.
The tetrahydrofuran and methanol may be present in a ratio of from about 3:1 to about 1:2, preferably about 3:1.
The reduction may be effected at a temperature from about -78C to about 60C, preferably at about 0C.

The following Examples illustrate but do not limit the scope of this invention.

Racemic cis-3-(4,6-dihvdroxychroman-3-ylmethyl)benzoic acid To a solution of 3-(6-hydroxy-4-oxo-chroman-3-ylmethyl)benzoic acid (2.00 gm, 6.70 mmol) in 24 ml tetrahydrofuran was added 12 ml methanol followed by 1.50 gmCeCI3 (4.02 mmol). The resulting hazy solution was cooled to 0C and treated with a total of 0.52 gm NaBH4, portionwise, over 55 minutes. 1N HCI was added to the reaction mixture which was then concenl,a~d on a rotary evaporator, transferred to a separatory funnel and partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed twice with i N HCI, once with water and once with brine followed by drying over Na2SO4 and filtration. The filtrate was concentrated to a light brown oil which was ev~cu~ted to a tan foam, yielding 1.93 gm (96%).1H NMR (dimethylsulfoxide-d6) ~ 7.88 (m, 2H), 7.44 (m, 2H), 6.64 (m, 3H), 4.40 (s, 1H), 3.91 (m, 2H), 3.30 (m, 1H), 2.91 (m,1H),2.61 (m,1h); 13C NMR(dimethylsulfoxide-d6)~167.492,150.473,146,386, 140.452, 133.621, 130.876, 129.907, 128.568, 127.058, 125.866, 116.361, 116.021,115.941, 64.246, 63.532, 31.858.

r 30 (-)-cis-N-Benzyl-2-(hvdroxymethyl)cyclohexylamine salt of (-)-cis-3-(4.6-dihydroxychroman-3-ylmethvl)benzoic acid To a solution of 1.766 gm (5.88 mmol) of racemic cis-3-(4,6-dihydroxychroman-3-ylmethyl)benzoic acid (prepared in Example 1) in 10 ml absolute ethyl alcohol was W O 94/08986 PC~r/US93/06061 2 l ~ ~ n o 5 -6-added a solution of 1.290 gm (5.88 mmol) (-)-cis-N-benzyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-cyclohexylamine in 9 ml ethyl alcohol. The resulting suspension was heated at reflux for 1 hour, cooled to room temperature, stirred for 1 hour and filtered. The resulting off-white solids (1.996 gm) were suspended in 20 ml absolute ethyl alcohol and heated at reflux for 3 hours followed by cooling to room temperature ~and stirring for an additional hour. Filtration yielded 1.295 gm of light gray solids which were again suspended in refluxing ethanol (15 ml) for 2 hours. After cooling the suspension was filtered to give 1.065 gm (63.2% of the available enantiomer) off-white solids, m.p. 216 - 218C, [O]D

The organic layer was washed with twice with 1 N
HCI, once with water and once with brine and thendried over Na2SO4. Concentration on the rotary evaporator and evacuation under high vacuum yielded 0.604 gm of the title compound as a white foam, m.p. 85-95C, [C~]D = + 100 (C = 0.475, tetrahydrofuran) .
