2,2,3,3-Tetrachlorocyclobutanone from China

Despite ketone functionality, 2,2,3,3-tetrachlorocyclobutanone classifies primarily by halogenation under HTS 2903.89.70. The cyclobutane ring with geminal dichlorides defines it as halogenated cyclanic derivative. Chapter notes prioritize halogenation over minor oxygen functions.
