Feedstock for 6-Methyluracil

The production of 6-methyluracil is done via a condensation reaction that uses diketene and urea as the major feedstock. The changes in the prices and availability of these raw materials affect its manufacturing.

The procurement of diketene is affected by factors like instability in raw material costs, advanced production processes, demand in downstream industries, regulatory compliance, etc. The changes in prices and availability of its raw materials like acetic acid (the availability of its major feedstock, i.e., methanol, affects acetic acid procurement) and acetone (fluctuations in propylene costs directly impact acetone procurement) affect its production costs. The usage of production technology, like new catalysts, improved reactor designs, and automation, improves its efficiency and yield, which affects its sourcing. The changes in downstream industries like pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes and pigments, paints and coatings, etc., affect its procurement. Regulatory compliance for diketene requires strict adherence to GHS, OSHA, and international hazardous material regulations add up to its procurement costs.

Urea is another feedstock used in the production of 6-methyluracil. The changes in the supply and prices of its raw materials like ammonia (the availability of its major feedstock, i.e., natural gas, affects its sourcing) and carbon dioxide (the efficiency of carbon dioxide capture technologies impacts its procurement) affect its production costs. Its market demand in the manufacturing of fertilizers, resins, adhesives, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, animal feed, etc., affects its availability. Geopolitical and trade policies like China's restriction on urea exports, EU tariffs on Russian supplies, and sanctions that disrupt trade affect its sourcing.
 

Market Drivers for 6-Methyluracil

The market for 6-methyluracil is driven by its usage in pharmaceuticals, agriculture, cosmetics, and research. Its utilization in the pharmaceutical sector in the manufacturing of anti-ulcer medications, wound healing formulations, and as a radiation-protective agent contributes to its market demand. Its use in agriculture for the synthesis of herbicides and fungicides fuels its demand. Its utilization in cosmetics and dermatology industries because of its regenerative and skin-protective effects makes it a popular product. It is utilized in biochemical and diagnostic research, which further contributes to its demand. In the Asia-Pacific market, large-scale pharmaceutical manufacturing, cost-effective production, and the need for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) drive its market. North American and European regions are driven by strict regulatory requirements and a focus on high-quality and innovative pharmaceutical products.

The CAPEX for the 6-methyl-uracil production facility includes costs of batch reactors or continuously stirred tank reactors (CSTR), fractional distillation columns and rotary evaporators, and pressure and vacuum filtration units. It also includes crystallizers, tray dryers, rotary dryers, or fluidized bed dryers, mixing and agitation systems (agitated tanks or high-shear mixers), and control and automation systems. Quality control (QC) lab equipment, like HPLC, UV-Vis spectrophotometers, gas chromatographs, and melting point apparatus, also comes under CAPEX.

Its OPEX includes the recurring costs of raw materials and energy costs that include electricity and fuel for running the reactors, distillation units, filtration systems, and other machinery. The salaries of operators, chemists, quality control personnel, and administrative staff and maintenance costs that involve the upkeep of reactors, filtration units, drying equipment, and control systems are also covered under OPEX. It also includes packaging and distribution costs that involve filling, labeling, and shipping the final product. Waste management and treatment of byproducts are required for regulatory compliance, and maintaining certifications for health, safety, and environmental standards adds to OPEX.
 

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for 6-methyluracil manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial 6-methyluracil manufacturing.

• By Condensation Reaction: The feedstock for this process includes diketene and urea.

The manufacturing of 6-methyluracil involves a condensation reaction. In this process, diketene works as a methylating agent and reacts with urea under controlled conditions. The compounds go through a condensation reaction that leads to the formation of 6-methyluracil. The product is separated and purified to give pure 6-methyluracil as the final product.
 

Properties of 6-Methyluracil

6-Methyluracil has a molecular formula of C5H6N2O2 and a molecular weight of 126.11 g/mol. It is a white to off-white crystalline powder that has a melting point of around 318 degree Celsius.
