title: Gallium-catalyzed reductive chlorination of carboxylic acids with copper(II) chloride.
abstract: Described herein is the direct chlorination of carboxylic acids using copper(II) chloride via a gallium(III)-catalyzed reduction in the presence of a hydrosiloxane. During this reductive chlorination, the counteranions of CuCl2 functioned as a chloride source.
