Dichloromethane (DCM) is an organic solvent that has a variety of industrial applications. DCM is used in the production of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and herbicides. It is also used as a solvent for paints, thinners, and varnishes. DCM is highly toxic and can cause serious health problems such as blindness and death if ingested or inhaled. DCM has been shown to be effective in producing nitro-substituted compounds by nitration reactions with sulfuric acid. This method was found to be more robust than previous methods involving the use of nitric acid.br>br>
