A compound of the formula:
- ##STR11## wherein R'.sub.1 is hydrogen or a carbon-carbon bond, with the proviso that when R'.sub.1 is hydrogen R.sub.1 is 1-alkynyl of two to about ten carbon atoms, or tetrahydropyranyl, and with the further proviso that when R'.sub.1 is a carbon-carbon bond R'.sub.1 and R.sub.1 together form a tetrahydrofuranyl group optionally substituted with one or more substituents independently selected from the group consisting of hydroxy and hydroxyalkyl of one to about four carbon atoms;
- R.sub.2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl of one of about four carbon atoms, phenyl, and substituted phenyl wherein the substituent is selected from the group consisting of alkyl of one to about four carbon atoms, alkoxy of one to about four carbon atoms, and halogen;
- and
- R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, straight chain or branched chain alkoxy containing one to about four carbon atoms, halogen, and straight chain or branched chain alkyl containing one to about four carbon atoms;
- or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof.
A compound of the formula ##STR12## wherein R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, straight chain or branched chain alkoxy containing one to about four carbon atoms, halogen, and straight chain or branched chain alkyl containing one to about four carbon atoms, R.sub.2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl of one to about four carbon atoms, phenyl, and substituted phenyl wherein the substituent is selected from the group consisting of alkyl of one to about four carbon atoms, alkoxy of one to about four carbon atoms, and halogen, and R.sub.6 is alkanoyloxyalkoxy-methyl or aroyloxyalkoxy methyl wherein the alkyl group contains one to about four carbon atoms, or tetrahydrofuranyl substituted by one or more substituents independently selected from the group consisting of alkanoyloxy, aroyloxy, and alkanoyloxyalkyl and aroyloxyalkyl wherein the alkyl group contains one to about four carbon atoms.
