CHAPTER

29Organic chemicals

In plain English

This category includes organic chemicals containing carboxyimide or imine functional groups, such as saccharin and its salts. The items are separated into specific groups based on their chemical structure and identity. One group covers imides and related compounds, distinguishing between those that are saccharin, glutethimide, or other types. Another group addresses imines and their derivatives, including their salts, by separating chlordimeform from all other substances in this class.
