High Purity Methacrylamide for Pharmaceuticals
Pharmaceutical grade methacrylamide (>99.5% purity) is used as an intermediate in drug conjugate synthesis. It meets Chapter 29 Note 1(a) criteria as a separate chemically defined compound, specifically classified under acyclic amides. The product's high purity and pharmaceutical use do not affect its classification.
