Halogenated ether

<p>Halogenated ethers are a subcategory of <a href="/facts/Ether/jwDg0IKr">ethers</a>—<a href="/facts/Organic_chemical/gqCNaN45">organic chemicals</a> that contain an <a href="/facts/Oxygen/acyn6o8r">oxygen</a> atom connected to two <a href="/facts/Alkyl_group/vmEk8X4v">alkyl groups</a> or similar structures. An example of an ether is the solvent <a href="/facts/Diethyl_ether/Ep20vEdj">diethyl ether</a>. Halogenated ethers differ from other ethers because there are one or more <a href="/facts/Halogen/YeFgWHeA">halogen</a> atoms—<a href="/facts/Fluorine/YUV0Fb8m">fluorine</a>, <a href="/facts/Chlorine/y27UwYBM">chlorine</a>, <a href="/facts/Bromine/oLfj3C7D">bromine</a>, or <a href="/facts/Iodine/JlfMecMf">iodine</a>—as <a href="/facts/Substituent/6y9IE6G0">substituents</a> on the carbon groups. . Examples of commonly used halogenated ethers include <a href="/facts/Isoflurane/mWv7ku8s">isoflurane</a>, <a href="/facts/Sevoflurane/rzRREcGA">sevofluorane</a> and <a href="/facts/Desflurane/jo4eubpY">desflurane</a>.
