Methylene chloride (CAS 75-09-2)

Other names: methylene chloride, dichloromethane
Description:
A popular industrial solvent is an organic compound derived from methane. Mobile transparent liquid without color, volatile, with a characteristic sharp, sweet smell of ether. Slightly soluble in water. It is highly soluble in organic solvents. When dissolved in hot water, it is destroyed, decomposing into hydrochloric acid and formaldehyde. Low toxic compared to other solvents. It reacts with chlorine to produce chloroform. Reacts with other halogens: iodine, bromine. It interacts with alcoholic and aqueous solutions of ammonia. As a result of the reaction with aqueous ammonia, formic and hydrochloric acids and methylamine are obtained. It reacts with aromatic hydrocarbons, for example, with benzene.
