Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) ACS (CAS: 1634-04-4) is a volatile organic, colorless liquid with a mild minty smell. The compound has very little solubility in water, and the formula is C5H12O. The product is part of a class of chemicals known as oxygenates, which are widely recognized as increasing the oxygen content of gasoline. MTBE can be produced through the chemical reaction between isobutylene and methanol. Also, it is known by different names like MTBE, MTB, TBME, 2-Methoxy-2-methylpropane, and tert-butyl methyl ether. It finds its common application in different industries.

Applications of Methyl Tert-butyl Ether (MTBE) ACS Grade

Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) ACS finds its main application as a fuel additive in gasoline to increase the octane number through the oxygenation of the gasoline in order to decrease engine knocking.

It can be employed to synthesize glycerol tert-butyl ether and fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) through transesterification with canola oil under supercritical conditions.

MTBE synthesis has been achieved through acid-catalyzed reaction of isobutene with methanol.
