It is the choice solvent for NMR spectroscopy when deuterium is substituted for its lone hydrogen and can form dichlorocarbene for use in organic syntheses.
This compound is industrially used to synthesize R22, a major intermediate in Teflon production. This compound must be kept in dark bottles or amber because it forms phosgene in the presence of oxygen and UV light. Nucleic acid extraction is commonly performed via mixtures of phenol and this. It is the choice solvent for NMR spectroscopy when deuterium is substituted for its lone hydrogen and can form dichlorocarbene for use in organic syntheses. For 10 points, name this compound which replaced ether as an anesthetic throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries and which has formula CHCl3.
