Application: Anesthesia
Cyclopropane was once used as gen-
eral anesthetic because its vapors, like
those of other simple alkanes and
cycloalkanes, cause sleepiness and a
loss of consciousness. After inhalation
into the lungs, cyclopropane goes into
the blood. Due to its nonpolar nature, it
rapidly leaves the blood and passes
through the nonpolar membranes sur-
rounding the central nervous system,
where it produces anesthesia.
Cyclopropane is no longer used as an
anesthetic because it is highly flamma-
ble (like ether) and can cause explo-
sions when mixed with air.
