N-Butylaniline or 4-(n-butyl)aniline is an important chemical compound that finds several industrial applications. It is widely used as a crucial intermediate in the production of synthetic dyes and pigments, such as carpro blue and acid green 27. It is also utilized as a chemical intermediate in the production of pesticides and certain specialty chemicals with further industrial applications. It also finds its application as an intermediate in the creation of innovative drugs and therapies.

The demand for N-Butylaniline is mainly led by its application as an essential chemical intermediate in dye production. Its utilization as an intermediate in the production of synthetic dyes and pigments largely contributes to its demand in the textile and printing industries. Its application as an important intermediate in drug synthesis and therapies further enhances its demand in the pharmaceutical industry. Its usage as an intermediate in the production of insecticides and pesticides also promotes its demand in the agrochemical industry.

The production of N-Butylaniline depends on the availability of its precursor materials, mainly butanol and aniline. Any fluctuations in the supply of these raw materials due to factors like geopolitical events, environmental policies, and production levels largely impact its production and costs. Changes in the demand from downstream industries like pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals further impact the pricing and procurement strategies for N-Butylaniline. Additionally, adherence to environmental and safety regulations that govern its production, handling, and disposal due to its toxic nature also significantly impacts industrial N-Butylaniline procurement.

Raw Material for N-Butylaniline Production

According to the N-Butylaniline production plant project report, the major raw materials for N-Butylaniline production include Aniline-Butanol.

Production Process of N-Butylaniline

The extensive N-Butylaniline production cost report consists of the following industrial production process:

• Production from Aniline: In this method, N-Butylaniline is synthesized through a vapor-phase reaction by using aniline and 1-butanol as starting materials. The synthesis begins with the chemical reaction of aniline with 1-butanol in a vapor-phase reactor containing the activated Cu/SiO2 catalyst (prepared through the incipient wetness method). The reaction proceeds under optimized reaction conditions to emphasize the effectiveness of the catalyst, which results in the formation of N-Butylaniline as the final product.

N-Butylaniline is also known as N-(n-Butyl)aniline. It appears as a clear liquid organic compound with a molecular weight of 149.23 g/mol. The molecular formula of the compound is C10H15N, and it has a density of 0.9358 g/cm³ at 20 degree Celsius. The melting point of the compound is -14.4 degree Celsius and its boiling point is around 243.5 degree Celsius at 760 mmHg.
