Effective catalyst for the tetrahydropyranylation of alcohols, using mild conditions and in high yields.

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.

General description

In this work, magnetic CuFe2O4/Ag nanoparticles activated by porous covalent organic frameworks (COF) was fabricated to evaluate the heterogenous reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). The core-shell CuFe2O4/Ag@COF was successfully prepared by polydopamine reduction of silver ions on CuFe2O4 nanoparticles, followed by

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.
