The present invention provides a process for making a compound having structure (B) or the tautomers thereof, wherein: (a) R1 is methyl, ethyl, a methylene group connected to R2 through a single bond such that R1 and R2 form a five-membered ring, or a methylene group connected to R2 through another methylene group such that R1 and R2 form a six-membered ring; (b) R2 is methyl, ethyl, a methylene group connected to R1 through a single bond such that R1 and R2 form a five-membered ring, or a methylene group connected to R1 through another methylene group such that R1 and R2 form a six-membered ring; (c) Z is an alkyl or a saturated, unsaturated or aromatic, monocyclic or polycyclic carbocycle or heterocycle containing one or more heteroatoms selected from O, N, or S; and (d) R4 is one or more substituents on Z comprising independently hydrogen, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkyl, alkenyl, amino, cyano, halogen, hydroxy, nitro, and thiol; which comprises the steps of: (I) preparing an intermediate having general structure (1) wherein R is selected from the group consisti ng of methyl, ethyl, and benzyl; R3 is -O-R5 or -R6.
