Phenazine Production By Wohl-Aue Reaction

This report provides an extensive cost evaluation of phenazine production by Wohl-Aue reaction. The synthesis begins with the chemical reaction between an aromatic nitro compound and aniline. In this reaction, nitrobenzene is reacted with aniline in the presence of a base catalyst such as sodium hydroxide, resulting in the production of phenazine as the end product.

Top Producers of Phenazine

• Wuhan Silworld
• Wuhan Hongxin Chemical
• Shenzhen Nexconn
• Xiangyu Chem
• PTG Advanced Catalyst

Feedstock for Phenazine

Phenazine is a pharmaceutical compound obtained by using nitro-aromatic compounds such as nitrobenzene and aniline as its primary feedstock. The procurement of phenazine along with its feedstock is largely determined by different factors including its market prices, production cost, variations in sales, logistics, trading and transportation activities etc. Additionally, factors such as the availability of its raw materials (including benzene, nitric acid, hydrogen used for the production of nitrobenzene and aniline), demand observed in chemical and pharmaceutical industries altogether have a prominent impact on its procurement process.
