First synthesis of pyrene-functionalized silatranes for mechanistic insights into their potential anti-parasitic and anti-oxidation activities

Abstract

The known silatranes have attached substituents such as hydrogen, organyl, organoxy, aminoalkyl, thioorganyl, acyloxy, halogen, pseudohalogen, and other groups; however, their functionalization with any polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon substituent is not recognized; this creates a niche in silatrane chemistry.
