Dichloromethane (DCM, methylene chloride, or methylene bichloride) is an organochlorine compound with the formula C H 2 Cl 2. This colorless, volatile liquid with a chloroform-like, sweet odor is widely used as a solvent. Although it is not miscible with water, it is slightly polar, and miscible with many organic solvents.

Deuterated dichloromethane (CD 2 Cl 2 or C 2 H 2 Cl 2) [a] is a form (isotopologue) of dichloromethane (DCM, CH 2 Cl 2) in which the hydrogen atoms (H) are deuterium (heavy hydrogen) (2 H or D). [2] Deuterated DCM is not a common solvent used in NMR spectroscopy as it is expensive compared to deuterated chloroform .
1,2-Dichloroethylene or 1,2-DCE is the name for a pair of organochlorine compounds with the molecular formula C 2 H 2 Cl 2. The two compounds are isomers, each being colorless liquids with a sweet odor. It can exist as either of two geometric isomers, cis-1,2-dichloroethene or trans-1,2-dichloroethene, but is often used as a mixture of the two ...
The most important is dichloromethane, which is mainly used as a solvent. Chloromethane is a precursor to chlorosilanes and silicones . Historically significant (as an anaesthetic), but smaller in scale is chloroform, mainly a precursor to chlorodifluoromethane (CHClF 2 ) and tetrafluoroethene which is used in the manufacture of Teflon.
In 1835, the French chemist Auguste Laurent recognised chloroform as CCl 2 • HCl (then written as C 8 Cl 8 • H 4 Cl 4) [a] in his paper on analysing some organohalides. Laurent also predicted a compound seemingly consisting of 2 parts dichlorocarbene which he named Chlorétherose (possibly Tetrachloroethylene, which was not known to exist at the time.) [8]
In its chemical structure and functions, the Cornforth reagent is closely related to other pyridinium salts of hexavalent chromium oxide, such as pyridinium chlorochromate [PyH][CrO 3 Cl] and to pyridine complexes such as the Collins reagent, CrO 3 ·2Py in dichloromethane and the Sarret reagent, CrO 3 ·2Py in pyridine.

1,1-Dichloroethylene, commonly called vinylidene chloride or 1,1-DCE, is an organochloride with the molecular formula CCl 2 CH 2.It is a colorless liquid with a sharp odor. Like most chlorocarbons, it is poorly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. 1,1-DCE was the precursor to the original clingwrap, Saran, for food, but this application has been phased
