Manufacturing Process

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

• From Benzyl Chloride and Ammonia: The feedstock for this process includes benzyl chloride and ammonia.

The manufacturing process of benzylamine involves the reaction of benzyl chloride with ammonia under ammonolysis conditions. The reaction takes place in a non-polar solvent and at elevated temperatures, forming benzyl chloride. After the reaction, the product is extracted from the organic solvent by distillation to obtain benzylamine as the final product.
 

Properties of Benzylamine

Benzylamine has the molecular formula of C6H5CH2NH2 and a molecular weight of 107.15 g/mol. It appears as a colorless liquid with a weak, ammonia-like odor. It has a melting point of around 10 degree Celsius and a boiling point of 185 degree Celsius. It has a density of about 0.981 g/mL at 20 degree Celsius. It is soluble in water and has a pH of 11.6 in a 100 g/L solution. It has a flash point of 72 degree Celsius and an autoignition temperature of 405 degree Celsius. It is a stronger base than its toluidine isomers and can absorb carbon dioxide from the air to form solid carbamic acid salts. It decomposes upon burning and produces toxic fumes. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
