Chloroform gets oxidised in the prescene of sunlight and form phosgene i.e. COCl2 Which Is Dangerous thats why they used stored in ambered bottle to prevent oxidation. So as to prevent formation of phosgene we use ethanol(C2H5OH) to produce Diethyl Carbonate. Formation Of Phosgene: ChCl3 + O2-----> (air) COCL2 + HCL Prevention: Phosgene + 2C2H5OH------>Diethyl Carbonate{ (C2H5)CO3 + H20 +2HCL
