Heterocyclic compounds; containing in the structure, a benzothiazole ring-system (whether or not hydrogenated), not further fused

HS v2017 Code: 293420

About heterocyclic compounds; containing in the structure, a benzothiazole ring-system (whether or not hydrogenated), not further fused

HS code 293420 covers a class of heterocyclic organic compounds known as benzothiazoles. These compounds are widely used in the production of various industrial and consumer products, including rubber chemicals, dyes, and pharmaceuticals. Benzothiazoles play a crucial role in the global chemical industry, contributing to the development of innovative materials and technologies that support diverse sectors of the economy.

Production process

The production of benzothiazole compounds typically involves a multi-step synthesis process. The key steps often include the reaction of an aromatic amine with a sulfur-containing compound, such as carbon disulfide, to form the benzothiazole ring system. Subsequent modifications, such as hydrogenation or the addition of other functional groups, can be carried out to produce the desired derivatives.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of benzothiazole compounds include aromatic amines, sulfur-containing reagents, and various catalysts and solvents. Specialized equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems, are also essential for the efficient and safe manufacturing of these chemicals. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in organic synthesis and chemical engineering.

Production outputs

Benzothiazole compounds produced under HS code 293420 find applications in a wide range of industries. They are used as vulcanization accelerators in the rubber industry 400520 Rubber compounds, unvulcanized, in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip, as intermediates in the production of dyes and pigments 320411 Synthetic organic coloring matter and preparations based thereon, and as active pharmaceutical ingredients 300490 Medicaments consisting of mixed or unmixed products for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, put up in measured doses or in forms or packings for retail sale.
