Abstract

29Si and 13C NMR chemical shifts are reported for cyclopropyl derivatives with the structure (CH3)3-nRnSiC3H5 where R = OSi(CH3)3 and OCH3. He carbon chemical shifts show substituent effects which are intermediate between those found in the corresponding vinyl and ethyl silanes. The 29Si chemical shifts, however, do not provide any evidence for back bonding between the cyclopropane ring and the silicon atom.
