Feedstock for Butyrophenone

The production of butyrophenone involves a Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction that uses benzene and butyryl chloride as the first line of raw materials. The fluctuations in the prices and availability of these major feedstock affect the manufacturing of butyrophenone.

The procurement of benzene is driven by several factors. Its demand for the production of its derivatives like styrene and ethylbenzene affects its prices and availability. The changes in the cost of raw materials like light naphtha and crude oil affect its sourcing. Strict environmental regulations for reducing emissions increase production costs that further influence its pricing. The usage of advanced technology in product manufacturing affects its efficiency. The supplier range and proper logistics management reduce risks associated with supply chain disruptions that lead to effective sourcing.

The sourcing of butyryl chloride is influenced by its demand from industries such as pharmaceuticals and chemical manufacturing. Its usage in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients and acylation reactions further affects its availability. The availability of raw materials- thionyl chloride and phosgene, also impact the procurement strategies and prices for butyryl chloride, which in turn have an impact on the prices for butyrophenone. Regulatory compliance because of its hazardous nature requires adherence to strict safety and environmental regulations that add up to its procurement costs. Also, transportation and storage requirements further affect its sourcing.

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Butyrophenone manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Butyrophenone manufacturing.

• By Friedel-Crafts Acylation: The feedstock for this process includes butyryl chloride and benzene.

The production of butyrophenone involves a Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction. In this process, butyryl chloride is added to a benzene mixture in the presence of a catalyst. The reaction temperature is maintained for 3 to 4 hours. Once the reaction is complete, the mixture is cooled and reactants are then stratified in a mixture of ice water and hydrochloric acid. After that, the benzene layer is separated and subjected to a series of washing steps with water. After washing, the product is dried to remove any moisture to get butyrophenone as the final product.
 

Properties of Butyrophenone

Butyrophenone has the molecular formula of C10H12O and a molecular weight of 148.2 g/mol. It is a clear, colorless, yellow liquid that has a distinctive camphor-like odor. Its melting point ranges from 11 to 13 degree Celsius, and a boiling point between 228 and 230 degree Celsius. Its density value is 1.021 g/mL, and it has a flash point of 88 degree Celsius. Its refractive index is at 1.520, which contributes to its optical properties. It is slightly soluble in organic solvents like chloroform and methanol but remains insoluble in water. It is stable under normal conditions but is combustible and should be handled with care in the presence of strong oxidizing agents. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in both chemical and medical fields.
