- each R5 is independently selected from the group consisting of C1-3 alkyl, C2-3 alkenyl, and H;
- each R6 is independently selected from the group consisting of C1-3 alkyl, C2-3 alkenyl, and H;
- M and M′ are independently selected from —C(O)O—, —OC(O)—, —C(O)N(R′)—, —N(R′)C(O)—, —C(O)—, —C(S)—, —C(S)S—, —SC(S)—, —CH(OH)—, —P(O)(OR′)O—, —S(O)2—, —S—S—, an aryl group, and a heteroaryl group;
- R7 is selected from the group consisting of C1-3 alkyl, C2-3 alkenyl, and H;
- R8 is selected from the group consisting of C3-6 carbocycle and heterocycle;
- R9 is selected from the group consisting of H, CN, NO2, C1-6 alkyl, —OR, —S(O)2R, —S(O)2N(R)2, C2-6 alkenyl, C3-6 carbocycle and heterocycle;
