Methacrylic anhydride is a reactive compound the synthesis of polymers and copolymers. It is highly reactive due to the presence of an anhydride functional group. Methacrylic anhydride is used in the production of resins, adhesives, and coatings. It is utilized in the modification of polymers to improve their properties. In biochemistry, methacrylic anhydride is employed in the functionalization of proteins and peptides for various and industrial applications. Its reactivity allows for the introduction of methacrylic groups onto biomolecules, enabling the attachment of other functional groups or polymers. This modification can be used to enhance the stability, solubility, and bioactivity of proteins and peptides. Methacrylic anhydride is utilized in the preparation of chromatography resins for the purification of biomolecules.
