Dear Bhavin,

You are in for some laborious undertakings because your product is a minor
one and it is not even listed in the weekly price list of Chemical Market
Reporter. It can be suggested you have a look at the following sources:

1. Kirk-Othmer's Encyclopeadia
2. Ullmann's Encyclopedia
3. A patent search since 1971 (it may be too late) in
   http://www.ibm.com/patents
4. If you are fortunate enough to find a preparation method in any of
"Organic Synthesis", Vogel's or Fiesers practical organic chemistry
texbooks, or anywhere else, then you take that as a model for scale-up to
build your plant.
5. For chemical background and perhaps even an industrial preparative
method have a look at Beilstein's Handbuch (requires some help in basic
German).
6. For marketing info have a look at Chemical Economics Handbook; it is
probably grouped with other products, such as "organics", "esters",
"carboxylic acids and derivatives", "chloro-organics", etc. Such info might
appear in Macketa's Encyclopedia.
7. If you somehow can finance it (I gather US$50 to US$100) a not-too-deep
electronic search in Dialog can be very helpful, however, you'll need
expert assitance, possibly from a university librarian, to select the
databases to be examined, to formulate the right querries and to do the
search.

All the best

Jacob Zabicky
