There is provided a compound of formula (I) wherein A is selected from -O- and -S-; X is selected from C2-C8 alkyl, C2-C8 alkenyl, C3-C8 cycloalkyl and C4-C8 cycloalkylalkyl, each of which may be optionally substituted with up to 3 substituents each independently selected from halo, C1-C4 alkyl, C1-C4 alkoxy, C1-C4 alkyl-S(O)n- where n is 0, 1 or 2 , -CF3, -CN and -CONH2; Y is selected from phenyl, naphthyl, dihydrobenzothienyl, benzothiazolyl, benzoisothiazolyl, quinolyl, isoquinolyl, naphthyridyl, thienopyridyl, indanyl, 1,3 -benzodioxolyl, benzothienyl, indolyl and benzofuranyl, each of which may be optionally substituted with up to 4 or, where possible, 5 substituents each independently selected from halo, C1-C4 alkyl, C1-C4 alkoxy, C1-C4 alkyl-S(O)n- where n is 0, 1 or 2 , nitro, acetyl, -CF3, -SCF3 and cyano; and when Y is indolyl it may be substituted or further substituted by an N-substituent selected from C1-C4 alkyl; Z is selected from H, OR3 or F, wherein R3 is selected from H, C1-C6 alkyl and phenyl C1-C6 alkyl; R1 and R2 are each independently H or C1-C4 alkyl; with the proviso that, when Z is H, then Y may not be optionally substituted phenyl or optionally substituted naphthyl.
