Abstract
Selective heteronuclear (Si-C) INADEQUATE method has been successfully used to assign all 29Si chemical shifts in six pertrimethylsilylated lignin model compounds. Empirical assignment of the lines in the region δ = 23-25 to trimethylsilyl esters of carboxylic compounds has been confirmed. Selectivity of the method permits unambiguous assignment to trimethylsiloxy groups which differ by their position on the benzene ring only. The assignment is possible despite that 29Si-13C two-bond coupling constants (2·1-3·0 Hz) are of comparable magnitude with the three-bond coupling constants (1-2·3 Hz). The chemical shifts of trimethylsiloxy groups on the benzene ring are sensitive to substituent effect to such an extent that their assignment cannot rely on an empirical rule but requires experimental method such as the one used here.
