HS v2017 Code: 293331

About heterocyclic compounds; containing an unfused pyridine ring (whether or not hydrogenated) in the structure, pyridine and its salts

HS code 293331 covers a group of heterocyclic organic compounds that contain an unfused pyridine ring, either hydrogenated or not. These compounds, including pyridine and its salts, are widely used in the production of various pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals. They play a crucial role in the global chemical industry, contributing to the development of essential products across multiple sectors.

Production process

The primary production techniques for HS code 293331 compounds involve chemical synthesis methods. This typically includes the cyclization of appropriate precursors, such as 1,5-diketones or 1,3-diketones, to form the pyridine ring structure. Catalysts, solvents, and reaction conditions are carefully controlled to optimize yield and purity. Purification steps, such as distillation or recrystallization, may be employed to obtain the desired level of product quality.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 293331 compounds include various organic chemicals, such as 290110 acyclic hydrocarbons, 290220 benzene, and 290330 halogenated derivatives of hydrocarbons. Additionally, specialized catalysts, solvents, and energy sources are necessary for the chemical synthesis processes. Sophisticated production equipment, including reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems, are also essential for the manufacture of these heterocyclic compounds.

Production outputs

The outputs of HS code 293331 include a wide range of pyridine-based compounds, which are then used as intermediates or building blocks in the production of various 300 pharmaceutical products, 380 chemical products, and 380800 pesticides and disinfectants. These heterocyclic compounds find applications in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients, agrochemicals, dyes, and other specialty chemicals. The outputs of this industry are often consumed by manufacturers within the 30 pharmaceutical industry, 38 chemical industry, and 38080 pesticide industry.
