Abstract

29Si chemical shift of Si-3 silicon atom of the trimethylsiloxy group attached to C(3) carbon atom in 1,6-anhydro-β-D-glucopyranose derivatives correlates linearly with the sum of Taft polar constants σσ of substituents R2 and R4 on C(2) and C(4) carbon atoms. Quality of this correlation allows assignment of Si-3 line in the spectra of derivatives containing two or three trimethylsilyl groups in the molecule. The shielding order δ(Si-4) < δ(Si-3) found in 1,6-anhydro-2,3,4-O-tris(trimethylsilyl)-β-D-glucopyranose is the same as recently found in other pyranose derivatives with the same configuration of substituents but the order is reversed by strong polar effect of the substituent in 1,6-anhydro-2-O-p-toluenesulphonyl-3,4-O-bis(trimethylsilyl)-β-D-glucopyranose. This finding warns against indiscriminate use of empirical assignment rules based on simple shielding order without considering possible substituent effects.
