The beta-elimination of phosphoserine residues by dilute alkali is catalysed by the presence of group II metal ions. The use of 0.1 M-Ba (OH)2 catalysed the rate of beta-elimination of phosphoserine by more than two orders of magnitude compared with

Fires, explosions, and extreme heat production may occur when sevoflurane reacts with desiccated barium hydroxide lime. The identity of the flammable gas has not previously been published, although carbon monoxide, methanol, formaldehyde, and methyl formate have been identified in low

Desflurane, enflurane and isoflurane can be degraded to carbon monoxide (CO) by carbon dioxide absorbents, whereas sevoflurane and halothane form negligible amounts of CO. Carbon monoxide formation is greater with drier absorbent, and with barium hydroxide, than with soda lime.
