Measurement of long‐range proton–carbon coupling constants from pure in‐phase 1D multiplets

The SELective INverse detection of carbon–proton CORrelation pulse sequence that yields a 1D spectrum of a proton directly bonded to a selected carbon resonance has been converted into a proton and carbon double-selective variant that provides a 1H spectrum of a selected proton that is long-range coupled to a specific carbon resonance. The resulting 1D proton multiplet exhibits a pure absorptive in-phase lineshape for precise measurement of specific long-range proton–carbon coupling constants in small organic molecules at natural abundance.
