Disclosed is a compound represented by Structural Formula (I): Ar is a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic group. Q is a covalent bond, -CH2-or-CH2CH2-; W is a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroalkylene linking group from two to ten atoms in length, preferably from two to seven atoms in length. Phenyl Ring A is optionally substituted with up to four substituents in addition to R1 and W. R1 is (CH2)n-CH(OR2)-(CH2)mE, -(CH)=C(OR2)-(CH2)mE, -(CH2)n-CH(Y)-(CH2)mE or (CH)=C(Y)-(CH2)mE; wherein E is COOR3, C1-C3 alkylnitrile, carboxamide, sulfonamide, acylsulfonamide or tetrazole and wherein sulfonamide, acylsulfonamide and tetrazole are optionally substituted with one or more substituents independently selected from: C1-C6 alkyl, haloalkyl and aryl-C0-4-alkyl; R2 is H, an aliphatic group, a substituted aliphatic group, haloalkyl, an aromatic group, a substituted aromatic group, -COR4, -COOR4, -CONR5R6, -C(S)R4, -C(S)OR4 or C(S)NR5R6. R3 is H, an aliphatic group, a substituted aliphatic group, an aromatic group or a substituted aromatic group. Y is O-, CH2-, -CH2CH2- or CH=CH- and is bonded to a carbon atom in Phenyl Ring A that is ortho to R1. R4-R6 are independently H, an aliphatic group, a substituted aliphatic group, an aromatic group or a substituted aromatic group. n and m are independently 0, 1 or 2. |
