Parahydrogen Induced Polarization (PHIP) gains much attention as it is already used for metabolic studies in MR. Because of keto-enol tautomerism, molecules with a hydroxyl group next to double or triple bonds are not accessible via PHIP e.g. vinyl alcohol which is precursor for ethanol. Our study presents the first time an approach to generate PHIP hyperpolarized ethanol that is probably the mostly used psychoactive drug.
