Amine-function compounds

HS v2022 Code: 2921

About amine-function compounds

HS code 2921 covers a diverse range of organic compounds known as amine-function compounds. These compounds play a crucial role in the chemical industry, serving as building blocks for a wide array of products, from pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals to dyes, plastics, and specialty chemicals. As a key component in the production of many essential goods, the amine-function compounds industry is a vital part of the global economy.

Production process

The production of amine-function compounds typically involves various chemical synthesis techniques, such as reductive amination, nucleophilic substitution, and amide formation. These processes often utilize catalysts and carefully controlled reaction conditions to ensure the desired products are obtained efficiently and with high purity.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the amine-function compounds industry include a range of organic precursors, such as 2902 Cyclic hydrocarbons, 2909 Ethers, alcohol peroxides, ether peroxides, ketone peroxides, epoxides with a three-member ring, acetals and hemiacetals, and 2917 Polycarboxylic acids and their anhydrides, halides, peroxides and peroxyacids; their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems, as well as a skilled workforce to operate and maintain the production processes.

Production outputs

The amine-function compounds produced under HS code 2921 are used as intermediates in the manufacture of a wide range of products. These include 2922 Oxygen-function amino-compounds, 2924 Carboxyamide-function compounds; amide-function compounds of carbonic acid, and 2926 Nitrile-function compounds, which are further processed into pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes, and other specialty chemicals. The amine-function compounds industry is closely linked to these downstream industries, providing essential building blocks for their production.
