Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If for use as pharmaceutical intermediate rather than industrial catalyst
If primarily destined for drug synthesis rather than bulk chemical process, may classify under heterocyclic compounds in 2934.
If imported in bulk as cyclic hydrocarbon derivative without emphasized quinone function
Purely hydrocarbon characterization could shift to Chapter 29 acyclic/cyclic hydrocarbons if oxygen function not principal.
