N-Methylpyrrolidone (NMP) is a high-boiling, polar aprotic solvent widely used in industrial synthesis. Its core production involves the catalytic reaction of pyrrolidine with carbon monoxide and hydrogen or oxidation of butyrolactone. The chemical formula is C5H9NO and CAS number is 872-50-4.
Strictly limit clinical use due to reproductive toxicity concerns. Store in cool, ventilated areas away from oxidizers. Operators must wear appropriate PPE including gloves and eye protection to prevent dermal absorption and inhalation hazards.
