29Si NMR spectra of a series of tert-butyldimethylsilyl derivatives of simple alcohols were measured under standard conditions in chloroform-d. The chemical shifts are linearly related to those in analogous trimethylsilyl derivatives. The correlation is very good (r = 0.998, n = 24) but signiÐcantly

✦ Synopsis
Trimethylsilyl and tert-butyldimethylsilyl derivatives of naturally occurring purines and pyrimidines and also other closely related model compounds were prepared and their 29Si NMR spectra measured. Only the chemical shifts of the SiÈNHÈ moiety could be assigned experimentally (i.e. exactly) ; the chemical shifts of SiÈOÈ and SiÈNÈ fragments could be assigned only on the basis of chemical shift correlations. The SiÈNÈ lines are surprisingly narrow in all derivatives of nucleic bases studied. The lines are narrow because of the "self decouplingÏ of fast relaxing 14N nuclei. The values of 29Si, 15N coupling constants could not be reliably determined (by the HEEDÈINEPT method), nor could the SiÈN lines be completely assigned in these compounds. Measurement of 29Si NMR spectra is shown to be a sensitive and fast method for checking completeness of silylation of nucleobases or their analogues. Assignment difficulties limit other applications.

Twelve para-and meta-substituted benzhydroxamic acids were subjected to exhaustive silylation with N-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-N-methyltrifluoroacetamide (with 1% of tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride as a catalyst). In all cases only one product was isolated. According to the assigned NMR spectra ( 1
