Copper(II) chloride dihydrate

Chemical properties

Moist blue crystals.

The Uses of Copper(II) chloride dihydrate

Copper(II) chloride dihydrate has been used as a positive control in dispersion of zebrafish embryo. It has also been used for the preparation of trace metals mixture.

The Uses of Copper(II) chloride dihydrate

To a suspension of CuCl2 (450 mg, 3.4 mmol) in ACN (8 mL) was added t-BuONO (0.52 mL, 3.9 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 5 min then a solution of the SM (830 mg, 2.8 mmol) in ACN (8 mL) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred at 60 C for 1 h. After allowing to cool to RT, the mixture was concentrated onto silica gel and purified by silica gel chromatography (0-40% EtOAc/hexane) to provide the product as a light brown powder.

The Uses of Copper(II) chloride dihydrate

Copper(II) chloride (CuCl2) or cupric chloride, is a brownish-yellow hygroscopic powder, or it may be formed as green deliquescent crystals. It is used in the dyeing and printing of textiles, as a disinfectant, as red pigment in the glass and ceramic industries, and for green-colored pyrotechnics, wood preservative, fungicide, deodorizer, water purification, feed additive, and electroplating baths.
