29Si (and 13C) NMR spectra of modified silatranyl derivatives of some monosaccharides
29Si (and 13C) NMR chemical shifts are reported for several 2-carba-3-oxahomosilatranyl (3,9,10-trioxa-6-aza-1-silabicyclo[3.3.4]dodecane-1-yl) and silatranyl (2,8,9-trioxa-5-aza-1-silabicyclo[3.3.3]undecane-1-yl) derivatives of some monosaccharides and other alcohols. The limited data suggest somewhat larger sensitivity of the silicon chemical shifts to molecular structure in 2-carba-3-oxahomosilatranyl derivatives than in silatranyl derivatives. In comparison with trimethylsilyl derivatives homosilatranyl derivatives show lower structural sensitivity of the silicon chemical shift. In some cases, however, larger stability of the silatranyl or 2-carba-3-oxahomosilatranyl derivatives than that of trimethylsilyl derivatives might be a distinct advantage.
