Cuprous Chloride (CuCl) is the lower chloride of copper. The white solid substance is sparingly soluble in water. However it is readily soluble in concentrated hydrochloric acid. Impure samples of Cuprous Chloride appear green due to the presence of copper chloride (CuCl2).
Cuprous Chloride is primarily used for preparing the fungicide copper oxychloride. It is used with carbon monoxide, aluminium chloride, and hydrogen chloride in the Gatterman-Koch reaction to form benzaldehydes. Cuprous chloride is also an intermediate formed from Cupric chloride in the Wacker process. It is also used as a catalyst in Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) and in pyrotechnics as a blue/green colouring agent.
