Patent ID: 6943255

Claim:
A compound of the Formula VII wherein R 1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen; CHR X R y wherein R x is hydrogen and R y is selected from the group consisting of alkyl or cyclic alkyl containing one to ten carbon atoms, alkenyl containing two to ten carbon atoms, hydroxyalkyl containing one to six carbon atoms, alkoxyalkyl wherein the alkoxy moiety contains one to four carbon atoms and the alkyl moiety contains one to six carbon atoms, benzyl, and phenylethyl; and —C═CR z R z wherein each R z is independently alkyl or cyclic alkyl of one to six carbon atoms; R 2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen; alkyl containing one to eight carbon atoms; hydroxyalkyl containing one to six carbon atoms; alkoxyalkyl wherein the alkoxy moiety contains one to four carbon atoms and the alkyl moiety contains one to six carbon atoms; benzyl; phenylethyl; phenyl; the benzyl, phenylethyl, or phenyl substituent being optionally substituted on the benzene ring by a moiety selected from the group consisting of methyl, methoxy, and halogen; and morpholinoalkyl wherein the alkyl moiety contains one to four carbon atoms; and R 3 and R 4 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl of one to five carbon atoms with the proviso that when R 1 is hydrogen then at least one of R 2 , R 3 or R 4 is other than hydrogen.
