General description

Copper chloride is a white solid. It is insoluble in water. Copper(II) chloride may be prepared by dissolving excess of copper (II) oxide or copper(II) carbonate in dilute hydrochloric acid.

Application

Adding CuCl2 to AgNO3 with EG1mYAbe is used to produce uniform Ag nanowires. Copper chloride may be used as a catalyst in organic chlorination reactions. Used with palladium in a catalytic synthesis of 3-haloindoles via an annulation process.

Direct arylation of thiophenes and benzothiophenes with aryltrimethylsilanes was effectively catalyzed by PdCl(2)(MeCN)(2) in the presence of CuCl(2) as an oxidant. The reaction preferentially occurred at the β-position of both thiophenes and benzothiophenes.
