Can any one please suggest me reducing agent names for reduction of chlorides?
for example: Cucl2+reducing agent >>copper or copper oxides.
please give me the chemical equations and mechanism.

KMnO4 in aqueous acidic solution is able to oxidise Chloride. You will find the equation in any undergraduate text book.

I guess this is what you mean. Reduction of chlorides is chemically not possible!

Hydazine chloride in the presence of excess of KOH or NaOH will give you pure copper powder.
N2H6Cl2 + CuCl2 + NaOH = Cu +N2 + H2O + NaCl
mechanism is simply because hydrazine is a strong reducing agent

Ah, you want to reduce a metal cation? You should say this, if you know what I mean.
