What is Copper (II) Acetate? Also referred to as cupric acetate, it is the chemical compound with the formula Cu(CH₃COO)₂. Anhydrous copper(II) acetate is a dark green crystalline solid, whereas the hydrate is more bluish-green. Since ancient times, copper acetates of some form have been used as fungicides and green pigments. Today, copper acetates are used as reagents for the synthesis of various inorganic and organic compounds. Copper acetate, like all copper compounds, emits a blue-green glow in a flame.

Frequent Uses

Chemical Synthesis
Copper(II) acetate has found some use as an oxidising agent in organic syntheses. In the Eglinton reaction it is used to couple terminal alkynes to give a 1,3-diyne.

Chemical Analysis
In chemical analysis, it serves as an oxidising agent in both the Barfoed's test for presence of monosaccharides and as a precursor to a copper-fatty acid complex in the colorimetric copper soap assay to test for free fatty acids.

Metal Plating and Patination
A mixture of copper acetate and ammonium chloride is used to chemically colour copper with a bronze patina.
