wherein ring A is α substituted relative to the Y substituent;
ring B is a heterocycle selected from the group consisting of oxazolinyl, piperidinyl, piperazinyl, pyrrolidinyl, morpholino, tetrahydropyridinyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, dihydropyranyl, and tetrahydropyranyl, wherein the heterocycle is optionally substituted with a substituent selected from the group consisting of halo, OH, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, COR 15 , and COOR 15 ; wherein R 15 is C 1 -C 6 alkyl;
Y—Z is —CH 2 O—, wherein the left hand side is joined with ring B;
R 5 is hydrogen, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, wherein the C 1 -C 6 alkyl is optionally substituted with 1-5 halo;
each R 6 is independently selected from the group consisting of halo, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, C 1 -C 6 alkoxy, and C 1 -C 6 alkylthio, wherein the C 1 -C 6 alkyl is optionally substituted with 1-5 halo; and
p is 0, 1, 2, or 3.
2. The compound of claim 1 , or a tautomer thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of each thereof, wherein p is 0.
3. The compound of claim 1 , or a tautomer thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of each thereof, wherein ring A is pyrazolyl optionally substituted with a C 1 -C 6 alkyl or C 1 -C 6 alkoxy.
