• or
• R4 and R5 together with the sulfur to which they are attached form a three- to eight-membered saturated or unsaturated ring system which is optionally mono- or polysubstituted, and which optionally contains 1 to 4 further heteroatoms, where two or more of the substituents optionally form one or more further ring systems;
• W is O or S;
• R6 are identical or different and are (C1-C20)alkyl, (C2-C20)alkenyl, (C2-C20) alkynyl, (C3-C8)-cycloalkyl, (C4-C8>cycloalkenyl, (C8-C10)-cycloalkynyl, aryl or heterocyclyl, where the radicals mentioned may optionally be mono- or polysubstituted, and
• R7 is identical or different and is H or R6.
