Claim:
A compound of formula I wherein: X is independently selected from the group consisting of ═C(—R)— and ═N—, with the proviso that at least one and at most two of X is ═N—; Y is —O— or —S—; R is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, (C 1 -C 6 )-alkyl, (C 1 -C 3 )-alkyloxy-(C 1 -C 3 )-alkylene, hydroxy, (C 1 -C 6 )-alkylmercapto, amino, (C 1 -C 6 )-alkylamino, di-(C 2 -C 12 )-alkylamino, (C 1 -C 6 )-alkylcarbonyl, COOR3, trifluoromethyl, (C 1 -C 6 )-alkylsulfonyl, (C 1 -C 6 )-alkylsulfinyl, aminosulfonyl, pentafluorosulfanyl, (C 6 -C 10 )-aryl, (C 5 -C 12 )-heteroaryl, CO—NR6R7, O—CO—NR6R7, O—CO—(C 1 -C 6 )-alkylene-CO—O—(C 1 -C 6 )-alkyl, O—CO—(C 1 -C 6 )-alkylene-CO—OH, O—CO—(C 1 -C 6 )-alkylene-CO—NR6R7 and unsubstituted or mono- or poly-F-substituted (C 1 -C 6 )-alkyloxy; R1 is selected from the group consisting of (C 4 -C 16 )-alkyl, (C 1 -C 4 )-alkylene-(C 6 -C 10 )-aryl, (C 1 -C 4 )-alkylene-(C 5 -C 12 )-heteroaryl, (C 1 -C 4 )-alkylene-(C 3 -C 12 )-cycloalkyl, and (C 8 -C 14 )-bicycle, wherein each of said aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl and bicycle may be substituted one or more times by a substituent selected from the group consisting of halogen, (C 1 -C 6 )-alkyl, (C 1 -C 3 )-alkyloxy, hydroxy, (C 1 -C 6 )-alkylmercapto, amino, (C 1 -C 6 )-alkylamino, di-(C 2 -C 12 )-alkylamino, mono-(C 1 -C 6 )-alkylaminocarbonyl, di-(C 2 -C 8 )-alkylaminocarbonyl, (C 1 -C 6 )-alkoxycarbonyl, (C 1 -C 6 )-alkylcarbonyl, cyano, trifluoromethyl, trifluoromethyloxy, (C 1 -C 6 )-alkylsulfonyl, and aminosulfonyl; R2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and (C 1 -C 6 )-alkyl; or, in the alternative, R1 and R2 form, together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, a monocyclic, saturated or partially unsaturated 4- to 7-membered ring system or a bicyclic saturated or partially unsaturated 8- to 14-membered ring system, of which individual members of the ring systems may be replaced by one to three atoms or atomic groups selected from the group consisting of —CHR4-, —CR4R5-, —(C═R4)-, —NR6-, —C(═O)—, —O—, —S—, —SO—, and —SO 2 —, with the proviso that no two of the units —O—, —S—, —SO—, and —SO 2 — may be adjacent to each other; R3 is hydrogen, (C 1 -C 6 )-alkyl, or benzyl; R4 and R5 are independently selected from the group consisting of (C 1 -C 6 )-alkyl, halogen, trifluoromethyl, COOR3, cyclopropyl, and cyclopropylene; and R6 and R7 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, (C 1 -C 6 )-alkyl, —(C 6 -C 10 )-aryl, (C 5 -C 12 )-heteroaryl, (C 3 -C 12 )-cycloalkyl, (C 1 -C 4 )-alkylene-(C 6 -C 10 )-aryl, (C 1 -C 4 )-alkylene-(C 5 -C 12 )-heteroaryl, (C 1 -C 4 )-alkylene-(C 4 -C 12 )-cycloalkyl, and (C 8 -C 14 )-bicycle; or a tautomer or a salt thereof.
