Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If sulfonic group considered secondary to amine function
Aminofunctional compounds without prominent oxygen functions might classify earlier in numerical order per Chapter note 3.
If imported as technical-grade mixture with impurities >5%
Mixtures not meeting 'chemically defined' purity threshold fall to chemical preparations.
