In this paper, the (S)-(+) configuration of isoflurane [2-chloro-2-(difluoromethoxy)-1,1,1-trifluoroethane] and of desflurane [2-(difluoromethoxy)-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane] have been established by anomalous dispersion of X-rays at cryogenic temperature. We could not apply this method to CHFClBr because no enantiomerically pure sample is presently available. The earlier assignment of the (R)-(+) configuration to desfiurane by VCD (P. L. Polavarapu, A. L. Cholli, G. Vernice, J. Pharm. Sci. 1993, 82, 791-793) has now been found to be erroneous because the samples of the two enantiomers had been wrongly labeled (P. L. Polavarapu. A. L. Cholli, G. Vernice, J. Pharm. Sci. 1997, 86, 267); however, the VCD computations themselves were correct.
