Why are acetanilide and phenacetin soluble in dichloromethane?

One thing to keep in mind in assessing overall polarity is the relative sizes of the polar and non-polar portions of a molecule.

So how does this make it soluble in DCM but sucrose is insoluble?

Dichloromethane is very non polar.

Sucrose has many -OH groups and no hydrocarbon portions; therefore, it has no non-polar regions.  What about phenacetin?

Sugar has to many OH groups and these make Hydrogen bonds so it's way to dissolve in water.DCM is even it has the 2 chlorine a more or less non polar compound. It make. No hydrogen bonds. So sugar is insoluble.

I'm sorry, what?
