- (b) m, n, X and Y are as defined in (a), R is ethyl, and R.sup.1 is hydrogen;
- (c) m is one, n is zero, X is middle halogen, R is as defined in (a) and R.sup.1 is hydrogen;
- (d) m is one, X is as defined in (a), n is zero, R is as defined in (a) and R.sup.1 is hydrogen, the compound being in the Z isomeric configuration;
- or
