Description
Application
It is widely used as a high-octane gasoline additive to boost performance and reduce emissions and also serves as a solvent in organic synthesis and extraction processes.
Purpose
MTBE enhances fuel combustion efficiency by increasing octane rating and oxygen content while its chemical stability makes it suitable for lab use in reactions under neutral or mildly acidic conditions.
General Description
tert-Butyl methyl ether (MTBE) with the formula CHO is a colorless volatile and flammable liquid with a distinctive ether-like or turpentine odor low viscosity and limited solubility in water (about 26 gL at 20C).
