About heading 2933
Heterocyclic compounds with nitrogen hetero-atom(s) only
Heading 2933 covers heterocyclic compounds that contain only nitrogen as the hetero-atom, meaning the ring system has nitrogen but no oxygen, sulfur or other hetero-atom in the ring. The heading is split by ring type: unfused pyrazole, imidazole, pyridine, quinoline and isoquinoline, pyrimidine and piperazine, triazine, then lactams, then a residual Other group. Within each ring group the lines separate aromatic from non-aromatic forms and then break out pesticides, drugs, photographic chemicals and specific named compounds.
