This report provides an extensive cost evaluation of oxyfluorfen production via from 3,4-Dichlorobenzotrifluoride and resorcinol. The production process begins with the chemical reaction between the two reactants, i.e., resorcinol and 3,4-Dichlorobenzotrifluoride. It is then treated with ethanol in the presence of a catalyst, i.e., potassium hydroxide. Finally, it results in the formation of oxyfluorfen as the end product.

Feedstock for Oxyfluorfen
Oxyfluorfen is an agrochemical compound produced by using 3,4-dichlorobenzotrifluoride and resorcinol as its primary raw materials. The procurement of oxyfluorfen is chiefly determined by factors such as the availability of its raw materials (including chlorine, benzene, sodium hydroxide, benzofluoride, etc., that are further used for 3,4-Dichlorobenzotrifluoride and resorcinol production), supply chain stability, its production cost, logistics, and trading activities, etc. Additionally, other factors, including its demand observed in agrochemical and chemical industries, along with the variations in its market prices, governmental policies, environmental concerns, and transportation, largely influence its overall procurement process across the globe.
