- R11 and R14 are independently hydrogen, C1-C6 alkyl, C1-C6 hydroxyalkyl, or C1-C6 arylalkyl;
- and
- X− is halide, chloride, bromide, iodide, carbonate, sulfonate, phosphate, or an anion of an organic carboxylic acid;
- or a tautomer thereof;
- (B) a compound of Formula (III):
- wherein
- R9 is an alkyl group, an aryl group, or an arylalkyl group, wherein said alkyl groups have from 1 to about 18 carbon atom;
- and
