✦ Synopsis


The lines in (29)Si NMR spectra of silylated polyphenols and some other compounds are difficult to assign owing to the absence of couplings with protons outside the silyl group. The assignment can be derived through small (n)J((29)Si, (13)C) couplings (n > 1). Using a previously described method for measurements of these couplings, the assignment procedure is demonstrated here on three examples of trimethylsilylated phenols: 7-hydroxyflavone, ferulic acid, and quercetin. In some cases the procedure can be used to identify carbon atoms to which the siloxy groups are attached.
