Ambiguous information obtained from 1H-NMR spectroscopy has prompted an investigation of the correct stereochemistry of the title compound, C34H39NO3Si, by X-ray diffraction analysis. An uncommon pseudoaxial-axial trans conformation was observed for the substituents linked to the C-4 and C-3 atioms (IUPAC numbering). The pseudo-equatorial conformation of the methyl group joined to the C-1 atom was also confirmed.
