- wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, lower alkylthio, nitro, cyano, amino, and trifluoromethyl;
- A is a straight or branched chain alkylene of 1 to 8 carbons;
- and Z is ##SPC13##
- wherein R.sup.3 is selected from the group consisting of phenyl, phenyl-lower alkyl and substituted phenyl and phenyl-lower alkyl and said phenyl substituents are one or more selected from the group consisting of halogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, lower alkylthio, nitro, amino, and trifluoromethyl;
