The sugar sucrose can be used to illustrate another homonuclear 2D NMR experiment: the TOCSY.
Sucrose ("table sugar") is a disaccharide derived from glucose and fructose.
The interesting element from an NMR spectroscopy viewpoint is that the two monomer units are completely separate spin systems and this can be visualised in the TOCSY spectrum.
