Note(s)

  1. Anhydrides and halides of carboxylic acids are classified as the relevant acids unless otherwise indicated. Salts of a compound, unless specifically provided for, are classified as that compound, e.g. aniline hydrochloride is classified as containing carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen only (in C07C 87/52), sodium malonate is classified as malonic acid (in C07C 55/08), and a mercaptide is classified as the mercaptan. Metal chelates are dealt with in the same way. Similarly, metal alcoholates and metal phenates are classified in sub-class C07C and not in sub-class C07F— the alcoholates in C07C 31/28-C07C 31/32 and the phenates as the corresponding phenols in C07C 39/235 or C07C 39/44. Salts or adducts formed between two or more organic compounds are classified according to all compounds forming the salts or adducts. [2]
  2. In the absence of an indication to the contrary, and with the exception referred to below, a compound is classified in the last appropriate place, e.g. a compound containing an acyclic chain and a heterocyclic ring is classified only as a heterocyclic compound, and a steroid is classified only as a cyclopentanophenanthrene compound. In general, and in the absence of an indication to the contrary (such as groups C07C 59/58, C07C 59/70), the terms "acyclic" and "aliphatic" are used to describe compounds in which there is no ring; and, if a ring were present, the compound would be taken by the "last place" rule to a later group for cycloaliphatic or aromatic compounds, if such a group exists. Where a compound or an entire group of compounds exists in tautomeric forms, it is classified as though existing in the form which is classified last in the system, unless the other form is specifically mentioned earlier in the system.
  3. Albumens, proteins, alkaloids of unknown structure, glucosides of unknown structure are examples of compounds to be found unter C07G.
  4. Inventions dealing with chemical compounds and their preparation are classified in the groups for the type of compound prepared. The processes of preparation should be secondarily classified in the groups for the types of reaction employed when such groups exist. General processes for the preparation of a class of compounds falling into more than one main group are classified in the groups for the processes employed when such groups exist. The compounds prepared may be secondarily classified in the groups for the types of compounds prepared.

Note(s)

  1. This sub-class is concerned with compounds containing saccharide radicals. Excluded are polysaccharides which for the purpose of this sub-class are defined as having more than five saccharide radicals attached to each other by glycosidic linkages. A "saccharide radical" is derived from acyclic polyhydroxy-aldehydes or acyclic polyhydroxy-ketones, or from their cyclic tautomers, by removing hydrogen atoms or by replacing hetero bonds to oxygen by the same number of hetero bonds to halogen, nitrogen, sulphur, selenium, or tellurium, in accordance with either of the following definitions:
    1. A "saccharide radical"
      1. consists of an uninterrupted carbon skeleton and oxygen atoms directly attached thereto, and
      2. is considered to be terminated by every bond to a cyclic structure and by every bond to a carbon atom having three bonds to hetero atoms, e.g. ester or nitrile radicals, and
      3. contains within the carbon skeleton an unconjugated sequence of at the most six carbon atoms in which at least three carbon atoms — at least two in the case of a skeleton having only four carbon atoms — have one single bond to an oxygen atom as the only hetero bond, and
        1. in a cyclic or acyclic sequence, at least one other carbon atom has two single bonds to oxygen atoms as the only hetero bonds, or
        2. in an acyclic sequence, at least one other carbon atom has one double bond to an oxygen atom as the only hetero bond.
    2. A "saccharide radical" is also a radical derived from a radical as defined in (a) above by replacing at the most four of the specified hetero bonds to oxygen by the same number of hetero bonds to halogen, nitrogen, sulphur, selenium, or tellurium. [2]
  2. Attention is drawn to the notes following the title of class C07[2]
  3. In the absence of an indication to the contrary, a compound is classified in the last appropriate place. [2]
  4. The terms "heterocyclic radical" and "hetero ring" are considered to exclude saccharide radicals as defined above. [2]
