What other solvents can be used, instead of dcm?
Accepted Answer
Dichloromethane (DCM) is a common solvent in organic chemistry. Alternatives depend on the specific application. Common choices include:
Diethyl ether: A less polar solvent, good for extractions.
Ethanol: Polar and miscible with water, often used for reactions and purifications.
Hexane: A non-polar solvent, good for extractions and chromatography.
Acetone: A polar aprotic solvent, often used for reactions and purifications.
