Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If acyclic hydrocarbon derivative rather than aromatic
Chapter prioritizes aromatic classification but acyclic halocarbons have earlier headings.
If derived from naphthalene instead of benzene
Naphthalene-derived halogenated compounds have separate statistical suffixes.
