| Application: | Copper(I) iodide can be used as a catalyst for: • For arylation of pyrazole and derivatives by coupling arenediazonium species under mild and ligand-free conditions. • Selective cross-coupling of dibromo alkenes and heteronucleophiles which leads to numerous building blocks such as 1-bromoenamides, ynamides, ketene N, N-acetals, 1-bromoenol ethers, ynol ethers, ketene O, O-acetals, and vinyl phosphonates. • Stereospecific and the regioselective reaction of silacyclopropanes with carbonyl compounds. It can also be used as a starting material in the preparation of diphenylphosphinepyridine |
| Features and Benefits: | • Low toxicity • Mild reaction condition • High purity ensures reproducibility and avoids cocatalysis by contaminants. |
