Abstract

AbstractRecently, we have introduced the ADEQUATE pulse sequence as a sensitive method to observe 13C,13C correlations in natural products. This kind of experiment suffers from offset‐dependent effects of the 180°(13C) pulses. Here we describe an application of smoothed chirp pulses in the ADEQUATE pulse sequence which allows 13C,13C correlations to be run without any offset dependences. This experiment is called chirp ADEQUATE and was applied to δ‐valerolactone and cholesteryl acetate. This modification will allow a general application of the ADEQUATE pulse sequence.
