Question Sourcing NMP (N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone)

[epson]

Hello,
I have problems finding a seller for NMP in the EU, and the chinese don't seem to have it.
I've seen instructions on making 4-mmc with nmp, which surprised me, because before I've found this forum I knew that using NMP as a solvent gives you much higher yields because the freebase mephedrone doesn't have time to decompose
I found it on an article on the synthesis of bupropion for high school students, DOI:10.1021/ed077p1479 I recommend reading this article, it's pretty good.

If anyone is able to help me I would be greatly appreciated
