While looking up some properties of chloral in the McGraw Hill Dictionary of Chemistry, I noticed a short description of a chemical called chloralose. Apparently it is made by heating chloral with dextrose. It is also a hypnotic like chloral, but I have a feeling it will either be more powerful or have use in a special application. :cool:

A google search yeilded little information. Infact, google insisted on correcting my spelling to chloralase, which is a different compound (used as a bird repellant).

Has anyone here heard of/synthesised/experimented with choralose?
I would try myself, but I have yet to build a still (for ethanol used in making chloral).
Maybe someone here has the materials required to synthesis a small amount and test it?

It is rather interesting. Altavisting and I found a report on Erowid about Heffter, the man who discovered LSD. No mentin of choralose in the article, although I did a site search and it brought up the same article again. So that may be a route to take.

It is also mentioned in an article about Euthanasia. It said it is a bad route to take, as it is * Choralose - cerebral depression to slow *

At Erowid another mention in the article was *He also worked in the laboratory of Rudolph Böhm, where he discovered choralose* So maybe a search on Rudolph.

Alltheweb.com returned a lot of hits. But most were for Alpha-choralose. Same molecule or different?

Sure it wasn't alpha-chloralase?

AFAIK there is only one chloralose, but several chloralases.

That is just the first page of results. And all of the pages did indicate either the chloralose, or the alpha-chloralose.

Damn! I've mistaked my chloralose and chloralase. :(

To get it straight: Chloralase is the hypnotic, Chloralose and alpha-chloralose are the repellants/posions. Besides the names being similar, so are the formulas.
Chloralase: C8H11Cl3O6
Chloralose and alpha-chloralose: C8H11O6Cl3

Very confusing. None-the-less, chloralase, the matter of interest, is prepared by heating chloral with dextrose.

Could a mod please rename the thread to chloralase?

As if it couldnt get any harder. None of my resources mention Choralase. There is about one or two hits. With one being a dictionary type-page that lists every word and word combination possible. The second one is a pdf which supposedly mentions an alpha-choralase which actually should be chloralose. Netscape did return the most results though. All detailing its use as a anesthetic. None the preparation.

Hopefully someone here has access to more chemical search facilities then I do.
