Benzyl Chloride is an organic chemical compound with a wide range of applications in various industries. The compound is extensively used as a chemical intermediate in the production of dyes, pharmaceutical products, and photographic chemicals. It also finds its application as a component in manufacturing lubricants, resins, and certain perfumes. It is often used as a precursor in the preparation of various chemical compounds, such as benzyl alcohol, benzyl cyanide, and benzoic acid. Additionally, it is also used in the preparation of benzyl esters, which have further applications as plasticizers, flavoring agents, sanitizing agents, and agrochemicals. It also finds its application in the production of certain drugs that belong to the class of amphetamine. It is also used in manufacturing heat exchange and oil extraction materials.

The demand for Benzyl Chloride is primarily driven by its applications in chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and fragrance industries, which promotes its market growth. Its application as a precursor in the synthesis of organic chemicals, specialty chemicals, agrochemicals, and biocides further boosts its demand in the chemical, agrochemical, and healthcare industries. Its usage in manufacturing photographic chemicals, plasticizers, and perfumes largely enhances its demand in the photography, plastic, and fragrance industries. Additionally, its involvement in the production of amphetamine-class drugs also increases its demand in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. Furthermore, the availability of raw material (toluene, etc.), cost and pricing, its application in energy and industrial manufacturing sectors, distribution, logistics, quality standards, and regulatory compliance are some crucial factors that largely influence industrial Benzyl Chloride procurement.

Raw Material for Benzyl Chloride Production

According to the Benzyl Chloride manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Benzyl Chloride production include Toluene-Chlorine.

Manufacturing Process of Benzyl Chloride

The extensive Benzyl Chloride production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production via Photochemical Chlorination: This method of production involves the process of thermal or photochemical chlorination of toluene to give benzyl chloride as the product. In this method, toluene is used as the starting material for the synthesis of benzyl chloride. The synthesis begins with the chlorination of toluene in the presence of sunlight, which leads to the formation of benzyl chloride as the final product.

Benzyl Chloride is a colorless to slightly yellow liquid chemical comprising seven carbon, seven hydrogen, and one chlorine atom. It emits an unpleasant, sharp, and irritating odor. Its melting and boiling points are -39.4 °C and 179 °C, respectively. While the chemical is slightly soluble in water, it is miscible with solvents such as ethanol, ethyl ether, and chloroform. The molecular formula of the compound is C6H5CH2Cl, and its molar mass is 126.58 g/mol. Due to its toxic nature, Benzyl Chloride is handled with high precautions, as direct exposure can cause eye and skin irritations and potentially severe health issues. The flash point of the compound is 153°F, and its solubility in water is 525 mg/L at 25°C.
