Ioxynil-sodium is commercially produced by neutralising ioxynil (4-hydroxy-3,5-diiodobenzonitrile) with sodium hydroxide. The production begins with the synthesis of ioxynil, typically via iodination of hydroxybenzonitrile, followed by reaction with sodium hydroxide under controlled conditions to yield the sodium salt.
