Dichlorofluoromethane is a colorless and odorless gas generally produced by fluorination of chloroform using a catalyst such as antimony trifluoride. It was used as a propellant and refrigerant before it phased out due to its contribution to ozone depletion. It is also known as Freon 21, R 21, halomethane, and hydrochlorofluorocarbon.
