Application

Copper(II) chloride dihydrate can be used as a catalyst:
  • For the conversion of dimedone into N-arylhydrazinecarbothioamide based indazole derivatives by reacting with phenylhydrazine, hydrazine hydrate, and substituted arylisothiocyanates.
  • In the three-component Domino reaction ofarylboronic acids, arylcyanamides, and amines to synthesize 2-aminobenzimidazoles in the presence of bipyridine ligand.

A new Cu(II) complex with the antihypertensive drug telmisartan, [Cu8Tlm16]·24H2O (CuTlm), was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and electronic, FTIR, Raman and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. The crystal structure (at 120 K) was solved by X-ray diffraction methods. The
