Effect of 2,6-diisopropylphenol and 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-(fluoromethoxy) propane as Anesthetic

Sevoflurane (2,2,2-trifluoro-1-[trifluoromethyl]ethyl fluoromethyl ether or C4H3F7O), with a molar mass 200.055 g/mol, also called fluoromethyl, is a highly fluorinated methyl isopropyl ether with general anesthetic property, available for clinical practice for about 30 years. Sevoflurane is a sweet-smelling, non-flammable and it is used for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia. Together with desflurane, it is replacing isoflurane and halothane in modern anesthesiology. Propofol (2,6-diisopropylphenol or C12H18O), with a molar mass 178.271g/mol is an alkylphenol derivative formulated for induction and maintenance (in some cases) of general anesthesia, sedation and hypnosis and acting as an intravenous anaesthetic drug, having largely replaced sodium thiopental because recovery from propofol is more rapid and clear.
