Ethyl Chloroformate Production by the Chemical Reaction of Phosgene with Anhydrous Ethanol

This report provides an extensive cost evaluation of ethyl chloroformate production by the chemical reaction of phosgene with anhydrous ethanol. The production of ethyl hexanoate is a multi-step process. Initially, carbon monoxide is combined with gaseous chlorine in a chemical reactor under controlled conditions. This reaction leads to the formation of phosgene, which serves as the intermediate. The intermediate is further treated with anhydrous ethanol, which leads to the production of ethyl chloroformate ester as the end product and hydrochloric acid as a byproduct.
