Methanol formation from dichloromethane under hydrothermal conditions

CH2Cl2 (1 mole) mixed with NaOH (2 moles) was treated under hydrothermal conditions at 250 °C. The chlorinated methane was completely hydrolyzed to form methanol and the formate by the Cannizzaro reaction. The reactant and products were analyzed by 1H-, 2H-, and 13C-NMR. Solvent isotope effect on the transformation was also investigated. The hazardous and environmentally troublesome organic solvent was safely converted into the useful compounds.
