It's not necessarily the cleanest reaction, but yes. That said, if you're thinking of its Hollywood use case as a quick knockout agent, it's not very effective for that purpose. It's not non-hazardous, though; exposure for several minutes can cause dizziness and fainting, and prolonged storage can lead to phosgene formation through autoxidation.

Are you thinking about the Ether scene? Ether Chloride.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Ether chloride is not a thing. Ethyl chloride (chloroethane) is, but in fear and loathing, they're likely referring to diethyl ether. When people say "ether" it's generally accepted as meaning diethyl ether.
