The present invention regards an improved and industrially advantageous process for the preparation of the 2-hyaroxy-4-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-chromen-6-yl-methanol intermediates, also called "feso chromenyl" and (R)-2-[3-(diisopropylamino)-l- phenylpropyl]-4-(hydroxymethyl)phenol, also called "(R)-feso deacyl", which are in turn used in the synthesis of fesoterodine and in particular of fesoterodine furnarate. This process utilises reagents which are non-toxic and manageable at industrial level and enables obtaining a new stable and non-hygroscopic crystalline form of the key intermediate "(R)-feso deacyl", called form B.

The invention provides a process for the production of a compound of formula (I), wherein Y is selected from CH3, CH2OH, CH2CH2OH, CH2Br and Br; comprising the steps of: (i) reacting a compound of formula (II), wherein OX is hydroxy or O- M+, in which M+ is a cation selected from Li+, Na+ and K+, and Y is as defined above; with trans-cinnamaldehyde (III), in the presence of a secondary amine compound; then (ii) treating the product of the preceding step with acid to afford the compound of formula (I). The above process may be used in the production of tolterodine and fesoterodine, which are useful in the treatment of overactive bladder.
