Relative configuration of the titled racemic compounds 1a and 1b has been elucidated on the basis of a complete X-ray structure determined for the higher melting diastereoisomer. The compound 1a crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P21212, a = 15.610(3) Å, b = 18.634(4) Å, c = 7.5672(7) Å, V = 2201.1(6) Å3, Z = 4. Preparative separation of both diastereoisomers is reported.
