Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If disazo or azo dye coupler formulations
Chapter 29 excludes finished synthetic dyes; pure intermediates stay here, formulated products go to Chapter 32.
If esterified with carboxylic acids
Per chapter note 5(A), esters classify with later-occurring acid-function compound, shifting from phenols.
