Hydrobenzoin is an organic compound that has many uses in organic synthesis as well as in the pharmaceutical industry. It is chiral and, therefore, finds use as a precursor for chiral catalysts and ligands used in an asymmetric synthesis that increases the production of chiral molecules for uses in pharmacological fields and the production of chemicals. It is also used for the synthesis of crown ethers used for several chemical transformations. It also has an application in organic synthesis as a reagent and intermediate in the synthesis of other compounds.

Several factors drive the market for Hydrobenzoin. Its essential role as a chiral building block in organic synthesis, especially for pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals, significantly promotes its demand in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Additionally, its utilization in the production of crown ethers enhances its potential role in several chemical transformations, amplifying its market presence in the chemical industry. Moreover, its application in the synthesis of organic compounds due to its ability to act as a reagent and intermediate further contributes to its market growth. Overall, industrial Hydrobenzoin procurement is influenced by its applications as chiral building blocks in pharmaceutical and chemical industries, production of crown ethers in chemical industry, its role in chemical transformations and synthesis of organic compounds.

Raw Material for Hydrobenzoin Production

According to the Hydrobenzoin manufacturing plant project report, the key raw material used in the production of Hydrobenzoin includes benzil (1,2-diphenylethanedione).

Manufacturing Process of Hydrobenzoin

The extensive Hydrobenzoin production cost report consists of the following major industrial manufacturing process:

• Production from benzil (1,2-diphenylethanedione): The manufacturing process of Hydrobenzoin starts with dissolving benzil in tetrahydrofuran (THF) as the solvent. The next step involves the addition of lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4) to the solution and further refluxing the resulting solution. Finally, LiAlH4 is neutralized by adding water or dilute acid to produce Hydrobenzoin as the final product.
