This study analyzes Oxybenzone Production By Friedel-Craft Reaction, covering manufacturing, process flow, operating expenses, and financial considerations.
Last Updated: January, 2025
This report proffers the thorough economics of oxybenzone production by the Friedel-Craft reaction. The production process is initiated by the chemical reaction between benzoyl chloride and 3-methoxyphenol. The reaction is carried out in the presence of a Lewis-acid catalyst, such as aluminium chloride, which results in the production of oxybenzone as the final product.
Oxybenzone is a chemical compound synthesized by using benzoyl chloride and 3-methoxyphenol as its primary raw materials. The procurement of benzoyl chloride and 3-methoxyphenol is determined by different factors, including its production cost, availability of its feedstocks (including benzoic acid, dimethyl sulfate, resorcinol for 3-methoxyphenol and benzoyl chloride production), stability in its supply chain and more. Additionally, other factors such as its demand in different market sectors such as cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, etc., along with logistics, trading, and transportation activities, also contribute towards its market growth.
