CAS 75-87-6

Chloral

Description:

Chloral, with the CAS number 75-87-6, is an organic compound characterized by its colorless, oily liquid form at room temperature. It has a distinctive sweet, pungent odor and is highly soluble in water, alcohol, and ether. Chemically, chloral is known as trichloroacetaldehyde, with the molecular formula CCl3CHO, indicating the presence of three chlorine atoms attached to a carbon atom adjacent to an aldehyde functional group. Chloral is primarily used in the synthesis of various chemicals, including chloral hydrate, which has historical significance as a sedative and hypnotic agent. It is also utilized in the production of pesticides and as an intermediate in the manufacture of other chlorinated compounds. Due to its reactivity, chloral can undergo various chemical reactions, including oxidation and reduction. However, it is important to handle chloral with care, as it is considered toxic and can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper safety measures should be taken when working with this compound in laboratory or industrial settings.
