Pyrogallol from Gallic Acid from Japan
Pyrogallol (1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene) produced by decarboxylation of gallic acid, but imported as pure gallic acid precursor. Actually pure gallic acid for pyrogallol synthesis classifies HTS 2918.29.30.00. Chemical reduction product remains chapter 29 compound.
