“…Such hindered amines include α,α-diaryl primary amines represented by substructure 1 , which are of interest for the development of bioactive molecules (Figure ). Several other compounds contain substructure 1 , including structures related to melanin-concentrating hormone receptor (MCHR) antagonists, neuropeptide Y antagonists, human plasma kallikrein inhibitors, β-secretase 1 (BACE1) inhibitors, − transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 8 (TRPM8) inhibitors, , cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors, and cell division cycle 7 kinase (CDC7) inhibitors relevant to treating cancer; included as well are herbicides and fungicides . In contrast to the breadth of synthetic methods that exist to generate fully substituted carbon centers α to secondary and tertiary amines, access to hindered primary amines is an underdeveloped area .…”
