General description

tert-Amyl methyl ether is an fuel ether oxygenate and has been quantitated in water by membrane extraction ion mobility spectrometry. tert-Amyl methyl ether is also referred to as 2-methoxy-2-methyl butane. Kinetics of ion exchange resin (Amberlyst 18) catalyzed tert-amyl methyl ether reactions have been investigated.

Application


  • Identification of environmental hazards of gasoline oxygenate tert-amyl methyl ether (TAME).: This study evaluates the environmental risks associated with the use of tert-Amyl methyl ether (TAME) as a gasoline oxygenate. The research highlights potential hazards to environmental and human health, underscoring the need for careful assessment and regulation of TAME use in fuels. (Huttunen et al., 1997).
