Enflurane (2-chloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethyl difluoromethyl ether) is a halogenated ether. Developed by Ross Terrell in 1963, it was first used clinically in 1966. It was increasingly used for inhalational anesthesia during the 1970s and 1980s[2] but is no longer in common use.[3]

Enflurane is a structural isomer of isoflurane. It vaporizes readily, but is a liquid at room temperature.
