Special Handling and Storage Requirements
•
•
•
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical
damage.
Store in secondary containment with proper labeling: REGULATED CARCINOGEN
DCM can be stored in the same cabinet as other regulated carcinogens.
Segregate the chemicals from incompatible materials. Incompatible materials are strong
oxidizers, strong caustics, plastics, rubber, nitric acid, water + heat, chemically active metals
(such as aluminum and magnesium powder), sodium, potassium, lithium.
•
Methylene chloride must be used and stored in a designated area.
•
Protocol/Procedure
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Methylene Chloride (Dichloromethane, DCM) is used as a solvent for running reactions as well as
for the purification of compounds by column chromatography.
All reactions and chromatography using DCM should be carried out inside a functioning chemical
fume hood while wearing the appropriate PPE (flame-resistant lab coat, gloves, and chemical
safety goggles).
If DCM is to be evaporated using a rotary evaporator, the volatiles must be collected using a dry
ice condenser and disposed of as hazardous waste.
Reactions involving DCM can use amount ranging from <1mL to 1L, and can be conducted at
temperatures of down to ~78 ºC.
If reactions are run above the boiling point of DCM (40 ºC), then the reaction vessel must be able
to handle in increased pressure, and if done on large scale (>100mL) a blast shield is
recommended.
When used for chromatography, larger amounts of DCM may sometimes be necessary (up to
>1L). DCM should be kept inside the fume hood if being used for a column and if possible,
covered to prevent excessive evaporation. After work is completed, the area should be cleaned,
and any contaminated materials disposed of properly.
Before leaving the work area, researchers should wash their hands in order to reduce the risk of
contamination of non-lab areas.
All DCM containers should be kept inside a ventilated chemical storage cabinet approved for the
storage of solvents, or when in use, inside a properly functioning fume hood.
As a regulated carcinogen, DCM should be labeled as such and stored in a secondary container,
segregated along with other carcinogens.
All fume hoods and cabinets in which DCM is present should be labeled to indicate the presence
of known carcinogens.
