Tertiary amyl methyl ether (TAME) Tertiary hexyl methyl ether (THEME) Ethyl tertiary butyl ether (ETBE) Tertiary amyl ethyl ether (TAEE) Diisopropyl ether (DIPE) Antioxidants, stabilizers Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) Butylated ...

  4. tert-Butyl alcohol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tert-Butyl_alcohol

    tert-Butyl alcohol is used as a solvent, ethanol denaturant, paint remover ingredient, and gasoline octane booster and oxygenate.It is a chemical intermediate used to produce methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE) by reaction with methanol and ethanol, respectively, and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) by reaction with hydrogen peroxide.

  5. Isobutane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isobutane

    Isobutane is oxidized to tert-butyl hydroperoxide, which is subsequently reacted with propylene to yield propylene oxide. The tert-butanol that results as a by-product is typically used to make gasoline additives such as methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2,4,6-Tri-tert-butylphenol

    Synthese von 2,4,6-Tri-tert-butylphenol mit Isobuten. A synthesis of 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol has been described that is also suitable as a teaching experiment. Methyl tert-butyl ether is used as the alkylating agent and sulfuric acid as catalyst. 2,4,6-TTBP is being obtained in 69% yield. [6] Synthese von 2,4,6-TTBP mit Methyl-tert ...

  7. Isobutylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isobutylene

    Gasoline additives methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE), respectively, are produced by reacting methanol or ethanol with isobutylene contained in butene streams from olefin steam crackers or refineries, or with isobutylene from dehydrated TBA. Isobutylene is not isolated from the olefin or refinery butene stream ...

  8. tert-Amyl methyl ether - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tert-Amyl_methyl_ether

    A series of experiments were carried out in a batch reactor at the temperature range of 313-343 K to study the synthesis of tert-amyl ethyl ether from ethanol (EtOH) and 2-methyl-1-butene (2M1B) catalyzed by the NKC-9 ion-exchange resin. The suitable reaction pressure was obtained by using the method of the Gibbs free energy minimization. The ...
