Abstract 29 Si NMR spectra of trimethylsilyl (TMS) and tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) derivatives of selected diols were measured under standardized conditions (ie, in diluted CDCl 3 solutions). Application of the recently reported correlation between the chemical shifts in TMS and TBDMS derivatives revealed considerable and systematic deviations which exceeded experimental errors and error estimates from the correlation.
