Abstract
29Si and 13C chemical shifts are reported for a series of 30 pertrimethylsilylated oligosaccharides containing xylopyranosyl unit. The number of lines in 29Si NMR spectra is in all cases in agreement with the number of hydroxyl groups present in the parent compound prior to trimethylsilylation. The results demonstrate the usefulness of 29Si NMR spectroscopy for the analysis of oligosaccharides and other polyfunctional compounds. The validity of direct additivity of 13C chemical shifts is tested on some model trisaccharides.
