We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for catalytic efficiency. Click here for more information.

Copper(II) acetate also known as cupric acetate, can be used as a catalyst in various processes in the field of greener chemistry. It is particularly useful in cross-coupling reactions, where it can promote the formation of carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom bonds, without the need for hazardous reagents or solvents

Application

Catalyst for greener amine synthesis by reductive amination with hydrogen gas.

Copper-catalyzed reductive amination of aromatic and aliphatic ketones with anilines using environmental-friendly molecular hydrogen

Copper(II) acetate is used as a catalyst:

In the N-arylation of α-amino esters with p-tolylboronic acid to synthesize biaryls via cross-coupling reactions
In the the synthesis of substituted isoxazole derivatives
