Global Aniline Market: Overview


Aniline is manufactured commercially by catalytic hydrogenation of nitrobenzene or by action of ammonia on chlorobenzene. The reduction of nitrobenzene can also be carried out with iron borings in aqueous acid. Aniline, is an organic base used to make dyes, drugs, explosives, plastics, and photographic and rubber chemicals. Anilines are poor directors of lithiation the nitrogens lone pair is less basic than an amines and the nitrogen has a weaker acidifying effect than a corresponding oxygen substituent.

When aniline is heated with organic acids it results in amides called anilides, such as acetanilide from aniline and acetic acid. Monomethylaniline and dimethylaniline can be prepared from aniline and methyl alcohol. Catalytic reduction of aniline yields cyclohexylamine. Various oxidizing agents convert aniline to quinone, azobenzene, nitrosobenzene, p-aminophenol, and the phenazine dye aniline black.


Global Aniline Market: Dynamics


Increasing demand for aniline by various end use industries as raw material in manufacturing of several end products is a major factor expected to drive growth of the global market. In addition, rising automotive sale across the globe, coupled with high adoption of aniline by automotive manufacturers for production of methylene diphenyl diisocyanate foams which is another factor expected to further support growth of the target market to certain extent.

Moreover, increasing demand for rigid polyurethane foams as an insulator in construction and plastic industries is expected to further boost growth of aniline market. In addition, rapid industrialization in developed and developing countries, increasing R&D activities in petroleum industry, and growing consumption of gasoline, coupled with increasing demand for aniline as a solvent and gasoline anti-knock additive are some other factors expected to further support growth of the market to certain extent.

However, fluctuating raw material prices is a major factor expected to hamper growth of the global market to certain extent.

Increasing investment by major players for R&D activities and development of aniline applications in metal corrosion are expected to create potential revenue opportunities for players operating in the target market over the forecast period.


Global Aniline Market: Segment


Among the application segments, the methylene diphenyl diisocyanate production segment is expected to dominate in the target market over the forecast period.

Among the end-use industry segments, the automotive segment is expected to dominate in the target market over the forecast period.


Global Aniline Market: Region


The market in North America is expected to dominate in the global market and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. This dominance can be attributed to increasing demand from packaging and rubber industry, and presence of major players operating in the countries in this region. In addition, increasing expansion activities through strategic mergers and acquisitions is expected to further support growth of the market to certain extent in this region.

The market in Asia Pacific is expected to contribute significant share in the global market, owing to increasing demand from pharmaceutical and construction industry. In addition, increasing automotive sale, coupled with growing demand from automotive manufacturers is expected to further support growth of the market in this region.

Patent Number: US20090240076A1

Process for preparing methylenediphenyl diisocyanates

Abstract

The invention relates to a process for preparing methylenediphenyl diisocyanates which comprises at least the steps: A) reaction of aniline with formaldehyde in the presence of hydrochloric acid as catalyst to give a mixture of diamines and polyamines of the diphenylmethane series (MDA) and subsequent at least partial neutralization of the hydrochloric acid by means of alkali metal hydroxide, B) reaction of the mixture of diamines and polyamines of the diphenylmethane series obtained in step A) with phosgene to give a mixture of diisocyanates and polyisocyanates of the diphenylmethane series (MDI) and hydrogen chloride, wherein C) the hydrochloric acid which has been neutralized in step A) is separated off in the form of a solution containing alkali metal chloride and is subsequently at least partly fed to an electrochemical oxidation to form chlorine, alkali metal hydroxide and optionally hydrogen and D) at least part of the chlorine produced in step C) is used for preparing the phosgene used in step B).

Patent Number: US20170022528A1

Method for producing aniline derivative by fermentation from carbon source

Abstract

Provided is a method for producing an aniline derivative by fermentation from a carbon source such as glucose. The method comprises the following steps: production of microorganisms capable of producing 1.8 g/L or more of 4-aminophenylalanine (4APhe) under prescribed culture conditions by introducing at least three exogenous genes into microorganisms having the ability to biosynthesize 4-aminophenylpyruvic acid from chorismic acid; and production of at least one aniline derivative selected from the group consisting of 4-aminophenylalanine (4APhe), 4-aminocinnamic acid (4ACA), 2-(4-aminophenyl)aldehyde, 4-aminophenylacetic acid, and 4-aminophenethylethanol (4APE) by bringing these microorganisms into contact with a carbon source under conditions suited to the growth and/or maintenance of these microorganisms.
