Application

Catalyst for oxidation of alcohols under aerobic conditions.

Modified Markó′s aerobic oxidation of alcohols under atmospheric pressure with air or molecular oxygen at room temperature
Effective catalyst for the tetrahydropyranylation of alcohols, using mild conditions and in high yields.

General description

CuCl2 was used in studies investigating pleural fibrosis resulting from chronic inhalation of indium phosphide (InP) particles in mice.

Features and Benefits

  • High purity of ≥99.995% Copper(II) chloride minimizes impurities, boosting efficiency and selectivity in catalytic processes essential for organic synthesis and industrial chemical production.
  • The presence of low metal impurities in ≥99.995% copper(II) chloride ensure consistent quality in electroplating applications, enhancing adhesion and achieving uniform coatings on substrates without contamination that could compromise the finish.
  • Anhydrous CuCl₂ reduces the risk of hydrolysis, preventing unwanted by-products and enhancing the efficiency of chemical processes.
