Compounds of general formula STR2 in which n, R1 R2, R3, R4 and R5 are as described above are novel subject to the following provisos (a) when R3, R4 and R4 and R5 are hydrogen R2 is methyl and R1 is lower alkyl, R1 contains more than one carbon atom, and (b) when R3 and R4 are hydrogen, R5 is hydrogen or 7-methyl, and R1 is ethyl, R2 contains more than one carbon atom. The specification describes and claims methods of making the compounds and novel intermediates used in such methods.
