SWIM has been researching chloroform for use as a non-polar solvent. It can be easily made by reacting Acetone with Sodium Hypochlorate (bleach). The only problem is that Chloroform degrades into the poisonous gas Phosgene and must be stabilized with Methanol or Ethanol to prevent this.
SWIM is wondering how much methanol would need to be added to the Chloroform to prevent it from breaking down. Hopefully somebody around here could help.
I'm mad as a hatter and a compulsive liar.
Nothing I say is true or should be mistaken for the truth.
