BTW, valid (yet not common/proper) example that I can think of is,
<?php
$strong_512bit_key = random_bytes(64);
$strong_256bit_key = hash_hkdf('sha3-512', $strong_512bit_key, 32);
?>
while it does not even require HKDF, though.
<?php
$strong_512bit_key = random_bytes(64);
$strong_256bit_key = hash('sha3-256', $strong_512bit_key);
?>
should be good enough.
Even with "Info", following HMAC is enough.
<?php
$strong_512bit_key = random_bytes(64);
$strong_256bit_key = hash_hmac('sha3-256', $strong_512bit_key, $some_info);
?>
