Carbon Tetrachloride
Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is a saturated chlorinated derivative of the acyclic hydrocarbon methane, with four chlorine atoms replacing hydrogen. It falls under HTS 2903.19.60.50 as a halogenated derivative of hydrocarbons, specifically a saturated chlorinated acyclic compound not elsewhere specified. Primarily used as a solvent and chemical intermediate.
