Abstract
Three isomers of trimethylsiloxybutene were prepared and identified by 1H NMR spectroscopy to be 2-trimethylsiloxy-1-butene and E and Z 2-trimethylsiloxy-2-butenes. E and Z isomers of 2,3-bis(trimethylsiloxy-2-butene were also prepared. 29Si and 13C chemical shifts in these compounds are interpreted. The shifts indicate that the spatial arrangements in the CH3-C-O-Si(CH3)3 fragment is the same in all the pertinent compounds. Steric crowding forces the trimethylsilyl group to assume conformations in which conjugation between unshared electrons of oxygen atom and the electrons of the double bond is inhibited. As a result, olefinic β carbons are deshielded and the shielding of the silicon is increased.
