1-Chloro-5-hexanone
1-Chloro-5-hexanone is a halogenated ketone featuring a chlorine atom at the 1-position and a ketone group at the 5-position of a hexane chain, classified under HTS 2914.79.60.00 as a halogenated derivative of ketones with other oxygen functions. It serves as a key intermediate in organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not halogenated
Non-halogenated aromatic ketones fall under 2914.70, but halogenation shifts to later numerical subheading per chapter note.
If imported as unfinished chain with halide but lacking ketone group
Halogenated hydrocarbons without oxygen functions classify in Chapter 29 acyclic hydrocarbons; ketone oxygen function dictates 2914 placement.
If diluted in solvent for safety/transport exceeding general use
Solutions beyond note (e) criteria (safety/transport only) classify as mixtures in 3824, not pure compounds of 2914.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide detailed chemical purity certificates and CAS number (69482-28-4) documentation; ensure proper Hazard Communication labeling per GHS for chlorinated ketones; avoid misclassification as non-halogenated ketones by verifying chlorine substitution
