    Product Description

    N-Formylmethamphetamine is an impurity generated in the synthesis of methamphetamine.1,2 While suggested as being a route-specific impurity of the Leuckart method, this impurity has also been detected in methamphetamine samples produced from ephedrine or by reductive amination.3,4 The physiological and toxicological properties of this compound are not known. This product is intended for forensic and research applications.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
