Chloroacetyl chloride is an organic compound that is used as a chemical intermediate in the production of chloroacetanilide herbicides. It is utilized in the production of metolachlor, acetochlor, and alachlor, which are used for weed control in crops like corn, soybeans, and rice. It is used in the pharmaceutical industry for synthesizing active pharmaceutical ingredients like lidocaine and venlafaxine.

It has bifunctional reactivity that is utilized for the production of important amide and ester linkages. It works as a building block in the manufacturing of specialty chemicals and fine chemicals like phenacyl chloride (which is used as a tear gas agent). It is also utilized in the synthesis of dyes, pigments, and surfactants. It is used for the modification of polymers to provide properties like improved adhesion and chemical resistance.

Feedstock for Chloroacetyl Chloride

The production of Chloroacetyl chloride uses monochloroacetic acid and sulfur monochloride as the major feedstock. The changes in the prices and availability of these raw materials affect the manufacturing of chloroacetyl chloride.

The procurement of monochloroacetic acid is influenced by the cost and availability of its raw materials like acetic acid (strict regulations add to its procurement costs that impact its sourcing costs), chlorine (chlorine production is highly energy-intensive and fluctuations in electricity costs affect its procurement), and acetic anhydride (the availability of feedstock, i.e., acetic acid affects its production and impact procurement).

The changes in its demand in downstream industries like agrochemicals (herbicides and pesticides), food, pharmaceuticals and personal care, surfactants, and pharmaceuticals influence its supply and procurement strategies. It is regulated because of its toxicity and corrosive nature, along with strict occupational exposure limits, labeling, and handling requirements, which adds to its procurement costs.

The sourcing of sulfur monochloride (another raw material used in the manufacturing of chloroacetyl chloride) is governed by the price and availability of its feedstocks, i.e., sulfur (fluctuations in crude oil prices and refinery output directly impact sulfur supply and production costs) and chlorine. It requires specialized handling, storage, and transportation because of its hazardous and corrosive nature, which adds to its logistical costs. The fluctuations in demand from industries like agrochemicals, rubber and plastics manufacturing, lubricants, pharmaceuticals, and chemical synthesis of sulfur-containing compounds affect its availability.

Its OPEX includes ongoing costs like energy expenses for operating reactors, pumps, distillation columns, heat exchangers, etc. and raw materials costs. It also includes maintenance costs for equipment and labor costs for plant operators, technicians, and safety personnel. The costs for regulatory compliance, waste management, and environmental monitoring, along with quality control testing and safety systems, also come under OPEX.
 

Manufacturing Process

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

• From Monochloroacetic Acid and Sulfur Monochloride: The feedstock for this process includes monochloroacetic acid and sulfur monochloride.

The manufacturing of Chloroacetyl chloride involves a reaction between monochloroacetic acid and sulfur monochloride. First, monochloroacetic acid reacts with sulfur monochloride, which gives a mixture. This resulting mixture is then treated with liquid chlorine, which leads to the formation of chloroacetyl chloride. The product is purified to get pure Chloroacetyl chloride as the final product.
 

Properties of Chloroacetyl Chloride

Chloroacetyl chloride has the molecular formula of C2H2Cl2O and a molecular weight of 112.94 g/mol. It is a colorless to light yellow liquid with a very pungent odor. It has a boiling point of about 105–106 degree Celsius and a melting point of -22 degree Celsius. It has a specific gravity of 1.42, and its vapor is heavier than air. It is insoluble in water but miscible with organic solvents like benzene and ether. It is highly reactive with water and moisture and reacts vigorously to produce hydrochloric acid gas and heat. It is also reactive with alcohols, amines, and other protic compounds, generating corrosive and toxic fumes. It forms esters and amides and works as a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of herbicides, pharmaceuticals, and other chemicals. It is highly toxic by inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact and requires careful handling and storage under inert, moisture-free conditions.
