Abstract

Equilibrium constants for the liquid-phase synthesis of 2-methoxy-2-methylbutane (TAME) and 2-ethoxy-2-methylbutane (TAEE) were measured in the temperature range 323-363 K. The equilibria were studied using the alcohol/alkene mixture in various mole ratios and the respective ether as a reagent in a batch reactor. A commercial cation exchange resin (Amberlyst 16) was used as the catalyst. The system was strongly nonideal, and the ...
