Claim:
A composition comprising a compound of the following general formula: wherein R represents a hydrocarbyl containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms; R 1 represents a hydroxyl, alkoxy, hydrogen, or halogen; R 2 represents a hydrogen, an alkanyl, —NR a R b where R a and R b are independently optionally substituted hydrocarbyls having up to six carbon atoms, an alkoxy chain having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, —SR c where R c is a hydrocarbyl containing from one to six carbon atoms, —SO 2 R 4 where Rd is a hydrocarbyl containing from one to six carbon atoms, or a halogen; R 3 is hydrogen, —SO 2 NH 2 , —SO 2 NR e R f where R e and R f are independently optionally substituted hydrocarbyls having up to 6 carbon atoms, halogen or a group -(A) a -Alk 1 wherein a is 0 or 1, and when a is 1, A is —O—, —S—, or —NR 6 wherein R 6 is hydrogen or a C 1 -C 5 alkanyl chain, and Alk 1 is an optionally substituted divalent hydrocarbyl chain containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms in length and optionally unsaturated bonds between at least two carbon atoms of Alk 1 when Alk 1 contains at least two carbon atoms; R 4 represents hydrogen, halogen, alkoxy, hydroxy, or an optionally substituted hydrocarbyl group containing up to 6 carbon atoms; R 5 represents a hydrogen, hydroxyl, alkoxy, a linear, branched, or cyclic chain with between 1 and 8 carbon atoms, or halogen; X represents a hydrogen, a group -Alk 2 -Z, C 1 -C 4 hydrocarbyl group or halogen, wherein Alk 2 is an optionally substituted divalent alkanyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl chain containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms in length; and Z represents an —OH, —OR 7 , —SH, SR 7 , —CN, —NH 2 , or NHR 7 group, wherein R 7 is a C 1 -C 6 hydrocarbyl or heterocyclic group optionally substituted by halogen or alkoxy; Y represents a group -Alk 3 -(Q) a -Alk 4 -B, wherein a is 0 or 1, and wherein Alk 3 represents a hydrocarbyl chain containing from 2 to 7 carbon atoms in length, wherein said hydrocarbyl chain optionally comprises double and/or triple bonds in between carbon atoms of said hydrocarbyl chain, and wherein said hydrocarbyl chain is optionally substituted with a halogen, alkoxy, or an alkyl chain that itself is optionally substituted with halogen, hydroxyl, or alkoxy groups; Q is selected from the group consisting of —CH 2 —, —O—, —S—, —NR—, —S(O 2 )—, —C(═O)—, and —S(O)—; Alk 4 is an alkanyl chain; and B is hydroxyl, alkoxy, halogen, alkylthio, nitro, cyano, amine, an optionally substituted carbocyclic group, an optionally substituted heterocyclic group, and wherein X and Y, along with the carbon atom joining X and Y, do not form an unsubstituted C 1 to C 6 alkyl.
