2926.90.01.00 - 2-Cyano-4-nitroaniline

This HTS category, 2926.90.01.00, specifically classifies 2-Cyano-4-nitroaniline. This is an aromatic organic compound characterized by the presence of both a nitrile (-CN) functional group and a nitro (-NO2) functional group attached to an aniline (aminobenzene) ring, with the cyano group at position 2 and the nitro group at position 4 relative to the amino group. Its primary utility often lies as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes, pigments, and pharmaceuticals, owing to the reactivity of its functional groups.

When distinguishing this specific compound from its siblings under the "Other" nitrile-function compounds heading, it is crucial to note the precise structural arrangement. For instance, sibling categories may encompass other substituted benzonitriles such as benzonitrile itself (2926.90.08.00), various dichlorobenzonitriles (e.g., 2926.90.14.00), or more complex nitrile-containing molecules like those in agrochemicals (e.g., 2926.90.16.00). Unlike these, 2-Cyano-4-nitroaniline is uniquely defined by the co-occurrence of the cyano and nitro groups on the aniline moiety, a specific substitution pattern that dictates its distinct chemical properties and industrial applications. Other siblings might also cover mixtures or specific salts and esters not relevant to this pure chemical entity.

As 2-Cyano-4-nitroaniline (2926.90.01.00) represents a terminal classification (a leaf node), there are no further subcategories within this HTS code. Therefore, the focus for classification under this code remains solely on the accurate identification and documentation of 2-Cyano-4-nitroaniline, ensuring it meets the defined chemical structure and purity standards for this specific entry. Importers and exporters should rely on analytical data and supplier declarations to confirm that the imported or exported substance precisely matches the description and chemical identity of 2-Cyano-4-nitroaniline.
