<Chemistry id="chema01" num="0001"><Image id="ia01" he="25" wi="84" file="IMGA0001.TIF" imgContent="chem" imgFormat="TIFF" inline="no" /></Chemistry>wherein R' is a hydrogen or a lower alkyl; R<Sup>2</Sup> is a lower alkyl; R<Sup>3</Sup> is a hydrogen, an alkyl, an alkenyl, a hydroxyalkyl, a cycloalkyl, a morpholino, an aminoalkyl, an N-alkylaminoalkyl, an N,N-di-alkylaminoalkyl, an alkoxycarbonylalkyl, a group of the formula -(CH<Sub>2</Sub>) -R<Sup>4</Sup> where R<Sup>4</Sup> is a lower alkoxy, a lower alkylthio, a benzylthio, an anilino, a morpholino, a piperazino, a piperidino or a lower alkyl-substituted piperidino and is 2 or 3, a group of the formula
<Chemistry id="chema02" num="0002"><Image id="ia02" he="15" wi="47" file="IMGA0002.TIF" imgContent="chem" imgFormat="TIFF" inline="no" /></Chemistry>where X is a halogen, a lower alkyl, a lower alkoxy, a phenoxy or an alkoxycarbonylalkyloxy, m is zero or 1 and n is an integer of zero to 2, inclusive, a group of the formula -CH<Sub>2</Sub>-R<Sup>5</Sup> where R<Sup>5</Sup> is a furyl, a thenyl or a pyridyl, or a group of the formula
