Applications
- It is primarily used as a fuel additive in gasoline to raise the octane number by oxygenating the gasoline to reduce engine knocking.
- tert-Butyl methyl ether may be used to synthesize fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) and glycerol tert-butyl ether via transesterification with canola oil under supercritical conditions.
- MTBE is also used as a solvent and has a distinct advantage over most other ether solvents as it reduces the tendency of forming explosive organic peroxides.
Benefits
- As an anti-knocking agent
- Improves octane ratings
- Reduces pollutant emission
- Relatively inexpensive solvent
