Production Process of Bis (Chloromethyl) Biphenyl

The extensive Bis (Chloromethyl) Biphenyl production cost report consists of the following major industrial production processes:

1. Production from diol and paraformaldehyde: The production process of Bis(chloromethyl) Biphenyl occurs from 1,6 hexanediol or 1,5pentanediol with paraformaldehyde. The reaction takes place at a temperature of 15-18°C in the presence of a solvent such as hexane with a continuous supply of hydrogen chloride gas until the paraformaldehyde suspension disappears, followed by the reaction of biphenyl and 1,6-bis(chloromethyl)hexane or 1, 5-dichloromethoxypentane using zinc chloride as catalyst and hexane as solvent leading to the generation of 4, 4'-bis(chloromethyl)-1, 1'-biphenyl.
2. Production from biphenyl: The production process of 4,4′-bis(chloromethyl)biphenyl involves the chloromethylation of biphenyl in the presence of recyclable temperature-dependant phase-separation system that consists of the dicationic acidic ionic liquid PEG1000-DAIL and methylcyclohexane by using homogeneous catalysis in an aqueous media to produce 4,4′-bis(chloromethyl)biphenyl.
3. Production from Alkylchloromethyl Ether and Biphenyl: The production process of bis(chloromethyl) biphenyl occurs from alkyl chloromethyl ether and biphenyl. The alkyl can be methyl, ethyl, propyl, or isopropyl. The reaction involves using reactants in the presence of an organic solvent such as hexane, cyclohexane, chloroform, along with hydrochloric acid, and zinc chloride at 20-40°C leading to the generation 4, 4'-bis(chloromethyl)-1, 1'-biphenyl.
