Chloral
Chloral, used as chloral hydrate, was synthesised in 1832 by Justus von Liebig at the University of Giessen and introduced as a sedative in 1869 by Oscar Liebreich: it was one of the first synthetic medicines for insomnia. This family brings together the active ingredient.
Did you know?It was the first of a long line of sedatives, including the barbiturates; it is still used before an electroencephalogram because it does not suppress epileptiform discharges.
