The IUPAC name of CH3CH2OC(CH3) 3 is Tert Butyl Methyl Ether.
- Methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE), also known as methyl tert-butyl ether and tert-butyl methyl ether.
- MTBE is a volatile, flammable, and colourless liquid that is sparingly soluble in water.
- Primarily used as a fuel additive, MTBE is blended into gasoline to increase knock resistance and reduce unwanted emissions.
- MTBE is manufactured via the chemical reaction of methanol and isobutylene. Methanol is primarily derived from natural gas, where steam reforming converts the various light hydrocarbons in natural gas (primarily methane) into carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
