Benzyl Acetate Production From Benzyl Chloride and Sodium Acetate

This report provides an extensive cost evaluation of Benzyl Acetate production from benzyl chloride and sodium acetate. The manufacturing process of Benzyl Acetate involves the reaction of benzyl chloride with sodium acetate in a two-phase system of an aqueous solution and toluene. The reaction takes place in the presence of tetrahexylammonium chloride as a phase-transfer catalyst at a temperature of 85 °C to produce Benzyl Acetate as the final product.
