Chroman derivatives of the formula ?I! ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is a cyano, a nitro, a trihalomethyl, a trihalomethoxy or a halogen atom; R.sup.2 is a lower alkoxyalkyl, an aryloxyalkyl or a dialkoxyalkyl; R.sup.3 is a lower alkoxyalkyl or an aryloxyalkyl; R.sup.4 is a hydroxy, a formyloxy or a lower alkanoyloxy; X is N--H, an N--optionally substituted lower alkyl, an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom or a single bond; and Y is an optionally substituted aromatic ring residue or an optionally substituted heterocyclic residue, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and pharmaceutical use thereof. The compound of the present invention and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof have selective and excellent coronary vasodilating action and extremely weak hypotensive action. Accordingly, it is possible to selectively increase the coronary blood flow without causing a sudden hypotention causative of tachycardia which has a detrimental effect on the heart, and they are useful as a coronary vasodilator, in particular, an agent for the prophylaxis and treatment of cardiovascular disorders such as angina pectoris and heart failure.
