Feedstock for 2-Phenylethyl Phenyl Ether

The production of 2-phenylethyl phenyl ether is done via an etherification reaction that uses (2-bromoethyl) benzene and phenol as the major feedstock. The fluctuation in the prices and availability of these raw materials affect its manufacturing.

The sourcing of (2-bromoethyl) benzene is affected by its demand, raw material costs, transportation, storage, etc. The changes in demand for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals affect their prices and availability. The supply and costs of benzene (factors like crude oil price instability and geopolitical tensions increase its production costs) affect its procurement. Specialized logistics is required for handling and transportation of hazardous chemicals like (2-bromomethyl)benzene that further add to its procurement costs.

The procurement of phenol (another major feedstock that is used in the production of 2-phenyl ethyl phenyl ether) is affected by several factors. The fluctuations in the prices of raw materials like benzene (changes in crude oil prices affect production costs of benzene) and propylene (raw materials like naphtha, natural gas, and propane impact propylene production costs) impact phenol production costs. The changes in demand for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and industrial applications affect their prices and availability.

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for 2-Phenylethyl Phenyl Ether manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial 2-Phenylethyl Phenyl Ether manufacturing.

• By Etherification Reaction: The feedstock for this process includes (2-bromoethyl) benzene and phenol.

The synthesis of 2-phenylethyl phenyl ether involves an etherification reaction. First, a solution of phenol and potassium hydroxide is prepared in ethanol. To this mixture (2-Bromoethyl), benzene is added and heated under reflux conditions for 24 hours, which results in an etherification reaction. After the reaction, the product is purified using column chromatography that gives pure 2-Phenylethyl phenyl ether as the final product.
