Abstract

The invention relates to a process for resolving the enantiomers of trans-3-hydroxy-3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-4-(2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridin-1-yl) -2H -1-benzopyran-6-carbonitrile (I), characterized in that racemic I, together with a small amount of (-)-I [or (+)-I], is dissolved in an inert solvent or solvent mixture, the solution is seeded with (-)-I [or (+)-I], the (-)-I [or (+)-I] which has precipitated is isolated, further racemis I is dissolved in the filtrate, the mixture is seeded with (+)-I [or (-)-I], the (+)-I [or (-)-I] which has precipitated is isolated, and if desired this crystallization cycle is repeated once or several times.
