I have come across the reaction of dichloromethane with primary amines to give cyclic compounds of the type (RNH2)3 . On a laboratory scale the atmospheric distillation of a dichloromethane solution of this primary amine was fine but on the extended 2000L scale, the distillation was quite slow and a significant amount of the cyclic compound was formed (50-70%).

I would recommend to avoid using methylene chloride in thefirst place.
