I'm sure that many of you are at least somewhat aware of chlorobutanol(1,1,1-Trichloro-2-methyl-2-propanol), which gets converted in the body to the same metabolites as chloral hydrate or plain-old chloral. Synth info can be found at https://www.thevespiary.org/rhodium/Rhodium/chemistry/chlorobutanol.txt (https://www.thevespiary.org/rhodium/Rhodium/chemistry/chlorobutanol.txt)
Anyway, this stuff knocks you into a loop similar to meprobamate mixed with a glass of wine. What sucks about it is that it strongly stinks of camphor and I'm trying to circumvent this problem, because many find camphor belches to be nasty, and not worth paying for. How can I get rid of this stink? Would using bromoform of iodoform instead of chloroform help with the stink? Any suggestions on killing-off the stink would be much appreciated! Peace! 8)
Bromoethanol is suspecte4d of causing respiritory, CNS and G.I tract irritation according to this MSDS:

I would bee really careful with this one, and I imagine the iodine metabolite to bee fairly similar, that, and that only very small amounts of iodine are needed for correct functioning of the human meatshell, excess causing goiter (a large swelling of the thyroid gland), and maybee other nasty things too.
Not to shit on your parade from a great hight Bwiti, but I can't see these being really safe, bee careful, and at least test these carefully first.
Wow...you were alkylating your lungs! I don't think I'd ever try that....
Looks like chlorobutanol is this:
Molecule: (https://www.the-hive.ws/forum/faq.pl?Cat=#applet)
chlorobutanol / chloral hydrate ("ClC(Cl)(Cl)C(O)(C)C.ClC(Cl)(Cl)C(O)O")
It's not clear to me how chlorobutanol would become chloral in the body. Does any bee know?
Bwiti, you know that you can make chloroform out of bleach and acetone, right? This looks like a very OTC method to an intoxicant here. But as for the taste...hmmm
Possible "protected" forms of chlorals that might bee more palatable:
Molecule: (https://www.the-hive.ws/forum/faq.pl?Cat=#applet)
acetylchlorobutanol/chloral ethyl acetal ("ClC(Cl)(Cl)C(C)(C)OC(=O)C.ClC(Cl)(Cl)C(OCC)OCC")
I wonder what would happen if the reaction was run with methyl ethyl ketone instead of acetone? The product would be like this:
Molecule: (https://www.the-hive.ws/forum/faq.pl?Cat=#applet)
chloropentanol ("ClC(Cl)(Cl)C(C)(CC)O")
Or what about a glyceryl modification?
Molecule: (https://www.the-hive.ws/forum/faq.pl?Cat=#applet)
mame?? ("ClC(Cl)(Cl)C(CO)(CO)O")
I guess I'm jabbering now. But it would be nice to know what structural features are actually necessary for the stuff to work, so a nice OTC and fun compound could be made. Thoughts?
