by monohydric alcohols

Introduced: July 1974

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Macromolecular compounds obtained by reactions forming a carboxylic ester link in the main chain of the macromolecule > Polyesters derived from hydroxy carboxylic acids or from polycarboxylic acids and polyhydroxy compounds > derived from polycarboxylic acids and polyhydroxy compounds > Polyesters chemically modified by esterification > by monohydric alcohols

CPC:

Macromolecular compounds obtained by reactions forming a carboxylic ester link in the main chain of the macromolecule (polyester-amides C08G69/44; polyester-imides C08G73/16) > Polyesters derived from hydroxycarboxylic acids or from polycarboxylic acids and polyhydroxy compounds > derived from polycarboxylic acids and polyhydroxy compounds > Polyesters chemically modified by esterification (C08G63/20 takes precedence; by after-treatment C08G63/91) > by monohydric alcohols

No child classifications to compare. This is a leaf node in both IPC and CPC.
