Abstract

Abstract : The Front Cover illustrates the transformation of hyperpolarized ethyl‐[1‐ 13 C]pyruvate, obtained by means of parahydrogenation of the vinyl ester of [1‐ 13 C]pyruvate in aqueous solution, into hyperpolarized [1‐ 13 C]pyruvate. This metabolic conversion has been monitored by acquiring a series of 13 C‐NMR spectra, using small flip angle pulses.
