Methyl Formate
Methyl formate (HCOOCH3) is a simple ester of formic acid used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and as a fumigant. It falls under HTS 2915.13.5000 as an ester of formic acid, specifically 'other' esters excluding ethyl formate. This classification aligns with Chapter 29 notes for separate chemically defined organic compounds.
Isopropyl Formate
Isopropyl formate (HCOOCH(CH3)2) is a formic acid ester serving as a flavoring agent and extraction solvent in food and pharmaceutical industries. Classified under HTS 2915.13.5000 as 'other' esters of formic acid per Chapter 29's organic compound provisions. Excludes ethyl formate specifically named elsewhere.
n-Butyl Formate
n-Butyl formate (HCOOC4H9) functions as a solvent in paints, lacquers, and perfume manufacturing. It qualifies under HTS 2915.13.5000 as an 'other' formic acid ester, consistent with Chapter 29's scope for acyclic monocarboxylic acid derivatives.
Propyl Formate
Propyl formate (HCOOC3H7) is utilized in organic synthesis and as an intermediate for producing other esters. Falls under HTS 2915.13.5000 as 'other' esters of formic acid, meeting Chapter 29 criteria for pure organic compounds.
Benzyl Formate
Benzyl formate (HCOOCH2C6H5) serves in fragrance formulations and pharmaceutical synthesis. Classified under HTS 2915.13.5000 as an 'other' formic acid ester, though aromatic, it follows acyclic monocarboxylic acid ester rules.
