Chemical Properties

clear orange to brown-red solution

Uses

Lithium tetrachlorocuprate acts as catalyst used to couple alkyl halides with alkyl Grignard reagents, Used to halogenate pyrimidine nucleosides. Organic soluble copper catalyst used in catalytic quantities to improve the efficiency of halide and allylic acetate displacements with Grignard reagent, it is used in stoichiometric amounts to open epoxides and aziridines.
