Copper(I) chloride is precursor to many copper compounds including copper oxychloride and many organocuprate compounds of synthetic interest. It is used as a catalyst as well as a reagent in many organic reactions including Gatterman-Koch, Sandmeyer, Grignard and Gilman reactions. It catalyzes 1,4-addition of Grignard reagents to alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones. It is also used as a doping salt to enhance the cationization of polystyrene in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry. It is also an intermediate formed in the Wacker process. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
