(See formulas (I), (II), (IIIa), (IIIb), (IV), (V), (VI), (XII)). In formula (I), D represents (II) to (VI), while R?1 and R3¿ represent each hydrogen, etc. R?2 and R4¿ represent each hydrogen, etc. n is an integer of from 2 to 4. A represents N, etc. E1 represents a group forming a benzene ring, etc. E2 represents a group forming, together with a carbon atom participating in the double bond in the fused part, a benzene ring, etc. X represents NR8 etc. Y represents CH¿2?, etc. R?a, R5 and R6¿ represent each hydrogen, etc. m is an integer of from 1 to 3. p and q are each an integer of from 0 to 3, provided that p+q is an integer of from 1 to 3. In formula (XII), R1, R2 and n are each as defined, and R11 represents aldehyde, etc.</p> |
