DEFINITION

Classification: 516/163

The compound contains repeating -(OC nH 2n)- (i.e., repeating unsubstituted oxyalkylene):

(under subclass 162) Subject matter in which the organic* compound which also contains nitrogen as a member of a ring structure also contains repeating -(OC nH 2n)- (i.e., repeating unsubstituted oxyalkylene).

(1) Note. "Repeating -(OC nH 2n)-" means 2 or more, bonded directly to each other. Thus, this subclass requires at least two ether linkages; monoether derivatives are located elsewhere.
