Graphical Abstract

How to live longer: A fully deuterated 13C methoxy group (13CD3O) is presented as a new long-lived hyperpolarization unit for designing a sensitive 13C magnetic resonance probe. By utilizing the unit, a hyperpolarized magnetic resonance probe for sensing hypochlorous acid was successfully designed.
