Demystify:
How about brucine [Slightly soluble in ethyl ether and benzene]
or strychnine [8 hr Time Weighted Avg (TWA): 0.15 mg/cu m; One gram
dissolves in 182 ml ethanol, 6.5 ml chloroform, 150 ml benzene, 250
ml methanol, 83 ml pyridine.]

I do not want the actual chemical – just
the name. I’m trying to create a hypothetical “what-if”
scenario for an upcoming discussion about responding to
chemical spills in a laboratory.
