Copper acetate anhydrous is a dark green, crystalline solid compound with the chemical formula Cu(CH3COO)2. It's a salt formed from copper and acetic acid, and can be synthesized by reacting acetic acid with copper compounds. Anhydrous copper acetate is insoluble in water and is used as a reagent in various inorganic and organic syntheses, and sometimes as a catalyst. 

Industrial Uses

1. Performance Chemicals

  • Catalysis: Copper acetate is a common catalyst in organic synthesis, facilitating the formation of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds. It is used in reactions like the Ullmann reaction (coupling of organic halides and aromatic compounds) and cross-coupling reactions. 

2. Fabric Solutions

  • Pigment: Copper acetate serves as a blue-green pigment in dyes and inks, enhancing coloration in various products.
  • Mordant: Copper acetate is used in fabric solutions primarily as a mordant in textile dyeing and printing. It helps improve color fastness and durability by acting as a binder between the dye and the fabric fibers.
