3-Methylene-7-(2-Phenoxyacetamido)-Cephan-4-Carboxylic Acid, p-Nitrobenzyl Ester, 1-Oxide from Canada

This complex beta-lactam derivative is a specific cephalosporin intermediate with a dihydrothiazine ring, explicitly named in HTS 2934.99.03.00 as an aromatic/modified aromatic heterocyclic compound. The p-nitrobenzyl ester protects the carboxylic acid during synthesis of semi-synthetic antibiotics. It qualifies under Chapter 29 for chemically defined heterocyclic compounds used in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Import Tips

Submit HPLC chromatograms and structural confirmation to verify exact cephalosporin intermediate matching the HTS description

Include DEA precursor documentation if applicable, as beta-lactam derivatives may trigger controlled substance scrutiny

Ensure cold chain documentation (2-8°C) as instability affects classification validity under Chapter 29 solvent notes
