In one aspect, compounds, methods of using them, compositions comprising such compounds, and uses of such compositions. These objects, and others which will become apparent from the following disclosure, are achieved by the present invention which comprises in one aspect compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, substituted aryl, alkaryl optionally substituted on the aryl portion or aralkyl optionally substituted on the aryl portion, R having up to 20 carbon atoms and is optionally branched, and A is (CH.sub.2).sub.p, (CH.sub.2).sub.q --O--(CH.sub.2).sub.r, or (CH.sub.2).sub.q --S--(CH.sub.2).sub.r, wherein p=2 to 8, q=1 to 8, and r=1 to 8. R.sub.1 =--(CH.sub.2).sub.m --, --(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --O).sub.n --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --, or --(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --O).sub.n --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --.
