Overview

Solvent in Sol-Gel precursor applicationsCalcium chloride is used as an efficient drying agent for aprotic base-stable solvents like ethers and tertiary amines. It is a useful dehydrating agent in a synthesis of aldehyde enamines in high yield and purity.

General description

It decomposes at 1000℃, is insoluble in all common organic or inorganic solvents; it slowly hydrolyzes in moist air, readily forming calcium hydroxide, and reacts mildly with water, releasing hydrogen gas. It decomposes at 675℃. It readily decomposes with water, carboxylic acids, and lower alcohols, releasing hydrogen gas; it is insoluble in carbon disulfide, slightly soluble in concentrated acids, and flammable. It is used as a reducing agent to reduce rare metal oxides to prepare rare metals, as a liquid and gaseous desiccant, and as a chemical analysis reagent. It is also used in organic synthesis.
