N2  - The &#946;-trimethylsilyl substituent in 2-trimethylsilylethyl p-nitrobenzoate (12b) and 2-trimethylsilylethyl 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfenate (12c) leads to significant lengthening of the C(alkyl)&#8211;O(ester) bond. Lengthening of the Si-CH2 distance in the more electronegative ester (12c) relative to (12b) is also observed. These structural effects are consistent with the presence of &#963;C-Si&#8211;&#963;* C-O interactions.
