Usage And Synthesis

General Description

colourless crystals with a pentrating odour and a slightly bitter caustic taste. Alcoholic solution (1 in 20) does not at once redden moistened blue litmus paper.

Usage

Trichloroacetaldehyde Hydrate is a useful chemical reagent used as a sedative/hypnotic agent. Studies have shown that when used in pediatric sedation side effects such as hallucination, excessive slee p and seizures were observed. It is sometimes administered to patients being treated with cyclophosphamide and it is known to inhibit some aldehyde dehydrogenases.

Air & Water Reactions

Water soluble.

Fire Hazard

Flash point data for Chloral hydrate are not available; however, Chloral hydrate is probably combustible.
