China and the United States are the leading exporters of isobutyryl chloride (CAS 79-30-1), collectively accounting for the majority of global shipments, while India, South Korea, and Germany represent the largest importers. Isobutyryl chloride prices have remained relatively stable amid consistent demand from pharmaceutical and agrochemical intermediates sectors. Export volumes from China have expanded modestly over the past two years, while U.S. exports have held steady, and Indian imports have grown at a compound annual rate of approximately 4% since 2022.
Isobutyryl chloride is a colorless to pale yellow, fuming liquid with a pungent, acrid odor and high volatility. It is an aliphatic acid chloride, classified as a reactive organic intermediate. Industrially, it serves primarily as an acylating agent in the synthesis of esters, amides, and ketones, particularly for introducing the isobutyryl group. Its main applications are in the production of pharmaceuticals (e.g., active pharmaceutical ingredients and prodrugs), agrochemicals (including herbicides and plant growth regulators), and specialty polymers. It is also used in the manufacture of flavors, fragrances, and certain dyes.
Usually used in the synthesis of fully isobutyramide terminated hyperbranched polyethylenimines,the separation and identification of shikonin and its ester derivatives in the root epidermis of Echium italicum.
