Evidence is presented which indicates that CuCl+ is the reactive species in the chlorination of cyclohexene by copper(II) chloride in acetonitrile. The reaction is retarded by an excess of chloride ion and by copper(I) salts, and accelerated by aluminium trichloride. A kinetic scheme which accounts for these observations is suggested.
