Spanish term or phrase: resto amínico
"Aunque apropiada en varios casos (2), el procedimiento hubo de ser abandonado cuando el ***resto amínico*** a introducir era el de 4-aril-1-piperazinilo, por los bajos rendimientos obtenidos en la condensación de Mannich inicial y transformaciones subsiguientes (2a)."

I have a hunch that it might be "amine moiety," but I'm not 100% sure if that fits here.
