“…In our laboratory the title compound C 24 H 23 NO 2 Si (I) was isolated as an intermediate in the synthesis of the respective sila amine. It is a congener of 2-(((4-methoxyphenyl)dimethylsilyl)methyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione (Guzei et al, 2010a) and 2-(2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione (Guzei et al, 2010b) recently reported by us. These sila amines were subsequently coupled with a selection of pharmaceutical agents containing a carboxylic acid, including indomethacin and N-acetyl L-cysteine (Zakai et al, 2010) as part of our continuing efforts at drug repurposing (Gately & West, 2007) using silicon chemistry (Bains & Tacke, 2003).…”
