6. The compound of claim 1, wherein R.sup.5 is hydrogen, phenyl or phenyl(C.sub.1-C.sub.6)alkyl- wherein any phenyl or phenyl(C.sub.1-C.sub.6)alkyl- of R.sup.5 is optionally substituted with one or more groups independently selected from halo, (C.sub.1-C.sub.4)alkyl, (C.sub.1-C.sub.4)haloalkyl, (C.sub.1-C.sub.4)alkoxy and (C.sub.1-C.sub.4)haloalkoxy provided that when R.sup.5 is hydrogen and R.sup.4 is optionally substituted phenyl, then n is not 0.

7. The compound of claim 1, wherein R.sup.5 is phenyl or phenyl(C.sub.1-C.sub.6)alkyl- wherein any phenyl or phenyl(C.sub.1-C.sub.6)alkyl- of R.sup.5 is optionally substituted with one or more groups independently selected from halo, (C.sub.1-C.sub.4)alkyl, (C.sub.1-C.sub.4)haloalkyl, (C.sub.1-C.sub.4)alkoxy and (C.sub.1-C.sub.4)haloalkoxy.

8. The compound of claim 1, wherein the moiety --(C(R.sup.3).sub.2).sub.nCHR.sup.4R.sup.5 of the compound of formula I is: ##STR00144## ##STR00145##
