We report the application of pure shift and J ‐edited nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies to the structural analysis of a protected maltotrioside synthetic intermediate whose crowded 1 H spectrum displays highly crowded regions. The analytical strategy is based on the implementation of J ‐edited and TOCSY experiments whose resolution is optimized by the use of broadband homonuclear decoupling and selective refocusing techniques, to assign and measure chemical shifts and homonuclear scalar couplings with high accuracy. The resulting data show a high level of complementarity, providing a detailed insight into each subunit of this oligomeric saccharide, even for proton sites whose nuclear magnetic resonance signals strongly overlap. This approach allowed for fully assigning proton chemical shifts and extracting 80% of the 3 J HH couplings that are in excellent agreement with those expected for D‐ gluco ‐pyranosyl units in 4 C 1 conformations.
