Sodium Trichloroacetate
Sodium trichloroacetate is the sodium salt of trichloroacetic acid, a saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid with three chlorine substitutions. It falls under HTS 2915.40.50 as 'other' salts of trichloroacetic acid, distinct from specific esters or the pure acid. Commonly used in organic synthesis and as a herbicide intermediate.
Methyl Trichloroacetate
Methyl trichloroacetate is the methyl ester of trichloroacetic acid, featuring a saturated acyclic chain with three chlorine atoms on the carboxyl carbon. Classified in HTS 2915.40.50 as an 'other' ester of trichloroacetic acid, used primarily as a solvent and chemical intermediate.
Ethyl Trichloroacetate
Ethyl trichloroacetate, the ethyl ester of trichloroacetic acid, is a halogenated saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid derivative. It qualifies for HTS 2915.40.50 as an 'other' ester, valued in pharmaceutical synthesis and as a reagent in organic reactions.
Trichloroacetic Acid Anhydride
Trichloroacetic anhydride, (Cl3CCO)2O, represents the anhydride form of trichloroacetic acid, fitting Chapter 29's scope for monocarboxylic acid anhydrides. HTS 2915.40.50 captures this as an 'other' derivative of trichloroacetic acid, used in acetylation reactions.
Ammonium Trichloroacetate
Ammonium trichloroacetate, the ammonium salt of trichloroacetic acid, finds use in biochemical research and protein precipitation. It aligns with HTS 2915.40.50 as an 'other' salt per Chapter Note 5(C)(1) for organic acid salts.
Butyl Trichloroacetate
Butyl trichloroacetate, a C4 ester of trichloroacetic acid, serves as an intermediate in flavor/fragrance synthesis and plasticizers. Its halogenated saturated acyclic monocarboxylic ester structure places it in HTS 2915.40.50 'other' category.
