About heading 2922

Oxygen-function amino-compounds

Heading 2922 covers oxygen-function amino-compounds: molecules that carry an amine group plus at least one other oxygen function, such as an alcohol, phenol, aldehyde, ketone or carboxylic acid, including their salts and esters. It is split by the type of oxygen function present: amino-alcohols (2922.11 to 2922.19), amino-naphthols and amino-phenols (2922.21 to 2922.29), amino-aldehydes, amino-ketones and amino-quinones (2922.31 to 2922.39), amino-acids (2922.41 to 2922.49), and mixed amino-alcohol-phenols and amino-acid-phenols (2922.50). Within each group the lines run from individually named compounds down to residual Other lines, with drugs, photographic chemicals and fast color bases broken out separately.
