About Dichloromethane
A dense (1.33 g/mL) chlorinated solvent that sinks beneath water, so it is popular for liquid–liquid extraction and column chromatography. It strips paint and degreases metal; because it is volatile and metabolised to carbon monoxide, it is handled in fume hoods rather than on open benches.
