Increasing use of bis-(p-chIorophenyl)methyIcarbinol (DMC or Dimite) as a miticide has made it desirable to publish analytical procedures. The technical material may contain 4,4'-dichlorobenzophenone, the compound from which it is made, and 1,1bis-(p-chloropheny 1) ethylene, the dehydration product of bis-(p-chlompheny])methylcarbinol. For estimating the composition of mixtures with either one of these impurities, melting point-composition data are given. For mixtures which also contain the 2,4'-isomers, a quantitative dehydration to the
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
