Trichloracetic aldehyd, Cl3C.CHO. A colorless liquid of penetrating odor, boils at 97C. Prepared by the action of chlorin upon ethyl alcohol. Soluble in water, in alcohol, in ether, and in chloroform. It also forms many substitution products by the replacement of its oxygen. The hydrate, formed by replacing the oxygen by two molecules of hydroxyl, is the compound used in medicine and is the chloral hydrate of the U. S. Ph. and the Br. Ph. This is commonly, though erroneously, called "chloral."
