J scalar couplings carry rich structural information and their measurements are fundamental in the H NMR based elucidation of small and medium molecules, which, however, are hampered in the presence of large J-coupling network. Further, enhanced spectral resolution is often essential for precise determination of a specific set of H- H J-couplings among the complex J-multiplets. In the light of the recent advancements in homodecoupling pure shift strategies, here, we report absorption mode, band-selective refocused pure shift spin-echo method, which helps in determining H- H J-couplings from crowded spectral regions. The importance of the present band-selective refocused pure shift spin-echo experiment is exemplified for 2 steroid molecules, estradiol and testosterone.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
