17. 2 with all measured reflections (SHELXTL 97). The positions of the H atoms for rac-4 were calculated, for 18 they were derived from difference Fourier maps. For both structures H atoms were refined iostropically with a riding model at idealized positions. Crystallographic data (excluding structure factors) for the structures reported in this paper have been deposited with the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre as supplementary publication no. CCDC 285371 for rac-4 and CCDC 286814 for 18.
