The racemic 3-(N-isopropylamino)-5-methoxychroman (IV; 54 g, 0.224 mol) was mixed with an equimolar amount of (+)-di-1,4-toluoyl-D-tartaric acid (98.6 g, 0.244 mol). The mixture was dissolved in boiling ethanol (170 mL)/acetone (70 mL). The salt started to crystallize in the hot solvent mixture but was not filtered off until the solvent had cooled down to room temperature (20° C.). The salt was then recrystallized nine times from ethanol/acetone (1:5) to give the pure diastereomeric salt. Yield: 35% (54 g) (99% e.e). Mp: 166°-168° C. The free enantiomer as the base (R)-3-(N-isopropylamino)-5-methoxychroman was obtained by the extraction of the salt in ether/KOH (1M). Yield: 32%, 17.5 g, [α]D21 -32° (C=0.1;MeOH) Mp. 285°-286° C.
