The use of rotational-echo double resonance NMR to measure distances from an observed tightly coupled cluster of 13C spins to a distant 15N, 31P, or 19F is practical if 13C chemical shifts and homonuclear 13C-13C isotropic J interactions are refocused by a combination of rotor-synchronized 13C pi and pi/2 pulses. This scheme is illustrated by experiments performed on diluted and recrystallized L-[13C(3),15N]alanine and L-[13C(6),alpha-15N]histidine.
