- (g) —S(═O)n—R5, or
- (h) C5-10heteroaryl, which is optionally substituted with 1 to 3 groups of C1-6 alkyl,
- R2, R4, and R5 are independently selected from the group consisting of
- (1) hydrogen,
- (2) —C1-6 alkyl,
- (3) —C2-6 alkenyl, and

- wherein said R2, R4 and R5 alkyl or aryl moiety is optionally substituted with one or more
- (a) halogen,
- (b) cyano, and
- (c) —O—C1-6 alkyl, wherein said alkyl is optionally substituted with one or more halogen;
- R3A and R3B are selected from the group consisting of
- (1) hydrogen,
