OG Complex Work Unit Drawing
wherein
R1 represents aryl or heteroaryl;
R2 and R3, which may be the same or different, represent hydrogen or C1-6alkyl;
R4 and R5, which may be the same or different, represent hydrogen or C1-6alkyl;
it being understood that:
aryl represents an unsubstituted phenyl ring or a phenyl ring that is substituted with 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 substituents, that may be the same or different, which substituents are selected from C1-6alkyl, which is optionally substituted with one or more fluorine, chlorine or bromine atoms, C1-6alkoxy, which is optionally substituted with one or more fluorine, chlorine or bromine atoms, cycloC3-12alkyl, hydroxyl, F, Cl, Br, I, CN, nitro, di-C1-6alkylamino, N-cycloC3-12alkyl-N-C1-6alkylamino, azetidinyl, pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl, morpholinyl, 4-C1-6alkyl-piperazinyl, tetrazolyl, oxazolyl, furyl, thiophenyl, pyrrolyl, isoxazolyl, thiazolyl, imidazolyl, oxadiazolyl, pyridinyl, pyrimidyl, and phenyl;
heteroaryl represents a (hetero)aromatic 5-, 6- or 7-membered ring having from 1 to 4 heteroatoms, said heteroatoms being independently selected from oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur, wherein said ring is unsubstituted or substituted with 1, 2 or 3 substituents, that may be the same or different, which substituents are selected from C1-6alkyl, which is optionally substituted with one or more fluorine, chlorine or bromine atoms, C1-6alkoxy, which is optionally substituted with one or more fluorine, chlorine or bromine atoms, cycloC3-12alkyl, hydroxyl, F, Cl, Br, I, CN, nitro, di-C1-6alkylamino, N-cycloC3-12alkyl-N—C1-6alkylamino, azetidinyl, pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl, morpholinyl, 4-C1-6alkyl-piperazinyl, tetrazolyl, oxazolyl, furyl, thiophenyl, pyrrolyl, isoxazolyl, thiazolyl, imidazolyl, oxadiazolyl, pyridinyl, pyrimidyl, and phenyl;
and optical isomers and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
