Description
Chloralose, (R)-1,2-O-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)-
α-D-glucofuranose, is a crystalline powder which is soluble in water,
fairly soluble in alcohol, diethyl ether, glacial acetic acid,
sparingly soluble in chloroform, practically insoluble in
petroleum ether.Chloralose is produced by reaction of glucose with waterfree
chloral under heating (21).

Uses
Coating seeds to protect them from birds. It has been employed widely as an animal anesthetic in the laboratory setting. alpha-chloralose is a true anesthetic or an immobilizing agent with sedative-hypnotic properties has important implications. Canada geese (Branta canadensis) and blue geese (Chen caerulescens) were caught with alpha-chloralose, an oral hypnotic administered on bait. Wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) were captured with alpha-chloralose, an oral anesthetic. Chloralose is used for the control of rodents, particularly mice, and
as a bird repellent and a bird narcotic.
