Tribromethanol as a Preoperative Narcotic*

Anesthetist, San Francisco, Calif.

Abstract

TRIBROMETHANOL was discovered by Willstaetter and Duisberg during the reduction of bromal at the I. G. Farben Industrie, Elberfeld, and was called by them "Avertin" or "E-107" as a trade mark. Chemically it is ethyl alcohol with three bromin atoms introduced into the formula or CBr3– CH2-OH, and should be called tribromethyl alcohol or tribromethanol.¹
