OCCURRENCE of METHYLENE CHLORIDE:
Natural sources of Methylene chloride include oceanic sources, macroalgae, wetlands, and volcanoes.
However, the majority of Methylene chloride in the environment is the result of industrial emissions.

PRODUCTION of METHYLENE CHLORIDE:
Methylene chloride is produced by treating either chloromethane or methane with chlorine gas at 400–500 °C.
At these temperatures, both methane and chloromethane undergo a series of reactions producing progressively more chlorinated products.
In this way, an estimated 400,000 tons were produced in the US, Europe, and Japan in 1993.

CH4 + Cl2 → CH3Cl + HCl
CH3Cl + Cl2 → CH2Cl2 + HCl
CH2Cl2 + Cl2 → CHCl3 + HCl
CHCl3 + Cl2 → CCl4 + HCl

The output of these processes is a mixture of chloromethane, dichloromethane, chloroform, and carbon tetrachloride as well as hydrogen chloride as a byproduct.
These compounds are separated by distillation.

Methylene chloride was first prepared in 1839 by the French chemist Henri Victor Regnault (1810–1878), who isolated it from a mixture of chloromethane and chlorine that had been exposed to sunlight.

CHEMICAL REACTIONS of METHYLENE CHLORIDE:
Methylene chloride is widely used as a solvent in part because it is relatively inert.
