Reaction of CuCl2 with Cu to Prepare CuCl.

After verifying that CuCl2 does not react with sugar, honey, or stevia, although it does so immediately with vitamin C, we are going to try the reaction with fine-wire copper. The CuCl2 mixture was kept at room temperature with copper for eight hours with occasional stirring. The reaction is evident as shown by the formation of insoluble white CuCl. If operated in a water bath with stirring the reaction can be completed in less than 30 minutes. This is of course the greener method to prepare CuCl (provided we have CuCl2 and Cu) from the point of view of the atomic economy, provided we transform all CuCl2 in CuCl with an excess of copper, since the unreacted copper can be used for ulterior preparations or other purposes.
