Dichloromethane is a compound formed by replacing two hydrogen atoms in the methane molecule with chlorine, with the molecular formula CH2Cl2. It is a colorless, transparent, heavier than water, volatile liquid with an ether-like smell and sweet taste, it does not burn, but it forms an explosive mixture when mixed with high concentration of oxygen. Dichloromethane is slightly soluble in water, miscible with most commonly used organic solvents, and miscible with other chlorinated solvents, ether, ethanol and N,N-dimethylformamide in any proportion. Dichloromethane is insoluble in liquid ammonia at room temperature, but can be quickly dissolved in phenol, aldehyde, ketone, glacial acetic acid, triethyl phosphate, formamide, cyclohexylamine, and ethyl acetoacetate. The relative density is 1.3266 (20/4°C). Melting point -95.1°C. The boiling point is 40°C. Non-flammable low-boiling solvent, often used to replace flammable petroleum ether, ether, etc., and can be used as dental local anesthetic, refrigerant and fire extinguishing agent. The spontaneous ignition point is 640°C. Viscosity (20°C) 0.43mPa·s. Refractive index nD (20°C) 1.4244. The critical temperature is 237°C and the critical pressure is 6.0795MPa. After pyrolysis, HCl and trace amounts of phosgene are produced, and long-term heating with water produces formaldehyde and HCl. Further chlorination can give CHCl3 and CCl4.
