Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing phosphorus instead of arsenic linkage
Heading prioritizes organo-phosphorus over arsenic compounds numerically later in 2931
If for saturated acyclic hydrocarbons if dehalogenated
Loss of characteristic As-Cl bonds shifts to basic hydrocarbon classification
