Aldehydes; halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives of products of heading no. 2912

HS code 291300 covers a diverse range of chemical compounds known as aldehydes, which are organic compounds containing a formyl group (CHO). These compounds play a crucial role in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and personal care products. Aldehydes and their derivatives are widely used as intermediates, solvents, and building blocks for the synthesis of more complex molecules, making them an essential part of the global chemical supply chain.

The production of aldehydes and their derivatives typically involves oxidation reactions, where a primary alcohol is converted into an aldehyde. This can be achieved through various methods, such as catalytic oxidation, enzymatic oxidation, or electrochemical oxidation. The specific production techniques may vary depending on the target aldehyde and the desired level of purity and selectivity.

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 291300 products include primary alcohols, oxidizing agents, catalysts, and various solvents and reagents. Depending on the specific aldehyde being produced, the raw materials may include 290511 Methanol, 290512 Propan-1-ol, 290513 Propan-2-ol, or other primary alcohols. The choice of oxidizing agent, catalyst, and other processing aids will depend on the desired reaction conditions and the targeted aldehyde product.

The outputs of HS code 291300 are a diverse range of aldehydes and their derivatives, which can be used as intermediates in the production of a wide variety of chemicals and products. These aldehydes may be further processed or used directly in industries such as 330300 Perfumes and cosmetics, 380810 Insecticides, 290529 Other acyclic alcohols, and 291500 Acyclic monocarboxylic acids and their anhydrides, halides, peroxides and peroxyacids; their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives.
