Configurational and conformational characterization of two synthetic β‐amino acid esters comprising an indan motif was achieved by residual dipolar couplings. We further observed that the stability of Q factors upon addition of structural noise substantially facilitates the selection of the “correct” structure. The two analyzed compounds differ by a single methyl group, which leads to a remarkable conformational change.
