8. The small positive NOEs found in most small and medium-sized molecules are difficult to detect reliably by nuclear Overhauser and exchange spectroscopy (NOESY). partly because of sensitivity problems exacerbated by long relaxation delays needed between experiments: Morris G. A., Magn. Reson. Chem., 24, 371-403 (1986). Therefore, NOE difference spectroscopy instead of NOESY was used to determine NOEs in synthetic (±)-1 and natural dictamnol.
