Feedstock for Benzyl Azide

The production of benzyl azide uses benzyl bromide and sodium azide as the major feedstock. The changes in the market dynamics of these raw materials affect the manufacturing of benzyl azide.

The sourcing of benzyl bromide is driven by factors like raw material availability, market demand, production costs, etc. The changes in supply and prices of its major feedstock like bromine (its availability is affected by a limited number of bromine-producing regions globally) and benzene (the changes in crude oil and naphtha prices impact the price and availability of benzene) affect its procurement. Its demand for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals is affected by factors like seasonal agricultural needs or shifts in pharmaceutical manufacturing that affect its procurement. The compliance with safety and environmental regulations further adds up to its production costs.

Sodium Azide is another major feedstock used in the production of benzyl azide. Its sourcing is affected by changes in its demand in downstream industries like pharmaceuticals and agriculture. The availability and price of its major raw material, ammonia (the changes in natural gas supply or price impact production costs of ammonia), impact its procurement. It is a hazardous substance that requires strict regulations during handling, storage, and transportation, which further adds to its procurement costs.

Manufacturing Process

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

• From Benzyl Bromide and Sodium Azide: The feedstock for this process includes benzyl bromide and sodium azide.

The manufacturing process of benzyl azide involves the reaction between benzyl bromide and sodium azide. In this process, benzyl bromide reacts with sodium azide in the presence of dimethylformamide (DMF) or acetone as a solvent. After this reaction, water is added to dilute the mixture and the solution is extracted using an organic solvent to get benzyl azide as the final product.
