It’s easy to knock someone out with chloroform, and many many other chemicals.
The hard part is getting them to wake up later

As far as I know it’s not that easy. The…test person has to take quite some breaths of it until it shows some effect

Indeed.
Yeah people don’t just go limp, there is enough time to slip away. And you wake up pretty quick if you don’t keep breathing it in. Back when they actually used ether and chloroform as anesthesia, they had this little metal cage they’d put over the patient mouth to extend it away from the mouth, which would be wrapped in gauze and then have ether or chloroform constantly dripped on top.
And if you try to speed it up by using more, you’re more likely to kill the patient than knock them out or numb them. Since it depresses the central nervous system.
