Figure 7.1.10 The molecular structure of isoflurane (forane, aerrane, or 1-chloro-2,2,2- trifluoroethyl difluoromethyl ether).

Many ethers, including diethyl ether, are effective as general anesthetics. Because simple ethers are quite flammable, their place in medical practice has been taken by highly halogenated nonflammable ethers. Two such general anesthetic agents are isoflurane and enflurane. These compounds are isomeric isoflurane is l-chloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl difluoromethyl ether enflurane is 2-chloro-l,l,2-trifluoroethyl difluoromethyl ether. Write the structural formulas of isoflurane and enflurane.
