The title compounds were synthesized in quantitative yields by interacting α-hydroxyalkyl ferrocenes with polyfluoroalkyl benzimidazoles in an aqueous-organic medium in the presence of HBF4. The resulting diastereomers and enantiomers were resolved using HPLC on silica bonded chiral stationary phases based on chiral cyclodextrins and cyclic antibiotics. The X-ray determination of molecular and crystal structure of 1- ...
