How to make Chloroform – trichloromethane

October 23rd, 2008 Leave a comment Go to comments

In the past, Chloroform was used as an anesthetic during the nineteenth century, but it isn’t used that way today. It was discovered by Samuel Guthrie through use of the Haloform Reaction in 1831. Chloroform is a colorless liquid with a pleasant, nonirritating odor and a slightly sweet taste. It will burn only when it reaches very high temperatures.

How to make Chloroform Recipies:

  1. Add equal amounts alcohol and Hypochlorite to the beaker.
  2. Heat the mixture on low heat for several minutes. Do not bring to boil.
  3. Carefully smell the mixture. If it has a sweet, slightly fruity smell then it’s done.
  4. Keep it in an air tight container and away from florescent lights until you use it.

Other names for chloroform are trichloromethane and methyl trichloride.

  • NEVER LEAVE AN OPEN CONTAINER OF CHLOROFORM.
  • NEVER STORE CHLOROFORM IN A METAL OR PLASTIC BOTTLE.
  • NEVER STORE CHLOROFORM FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME.
  • STORED CHLOROFORM WILL DECOMPOSE INTO PHOSGENE GAS, A CHEMICAL USED IN WWI AS A CHEMICAL WEAPON.
  • NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN TO COME NEAR CHLOROFORM.
  • NEVER INHALE CHLOROFORM

    What happens if you inhale chloroform?

    Thanks!

    you can kill someone with chloroform just let it decompose and make someone inhale it

    If you can make this so easy like shown here why is there a formula that uses a ton of ice?

    THere was a typo in my post. I put down trichloroethane but I meant to say: (1,1,1-Trichloromethane). My apologies for this mistake here.

    Another way to produce Chloroform (1,1,1-Trichloroethane) is to add Sodium hypochlorite to acetone and then add dropwise some sulfuric acid. The sulfuric acid will react to produce sodium sulfate, and hypochlorous acid which will halogenate the acetone (2-propanone) into chloroform.

    for your warnings you have “never inhale” but under your procedures you have “smell the mixture”, what are the side effects of inhaling small to medium amounts of chloroform made by this process?
