TERT-AMYL METHYL ETHER Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

CLEAR COLOURLESS LIQUID

Uses

TAME has been used as a reference standard for the determination of the analyte in Catalonian groundwater and soil samples by purge-and-trap gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (P&T-GC/MS) and in aqueous solutions by solid-phase microextraction (SPME) combined with GC-MS. It may be used as a reference standard for the identification of the analyte in gasoline-contaminated groundwater by GC combined with various detectors/quantification methods such as photoionization detector (PID), flame ionization detector (FID), or MS.

Uses

Fuel additive for gasoline.

General Description

tert-Amyl methyl ether is an fuel ether oxygenate and has been quantitated in water by membrane extraction ion mobility spectrometry. tert-Amyl methyl ether is also referred to as 2-methoxy-2-methyl butane. Kinetics of ion exchange resin (Amberlyst 18) catalyzed tert-amyl methyl ether reactions have been investigated.

Flammability and Explosibility

Highly flammable

Safety Profile

Moderately toxic by ingestion. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating vapors.

Toxics Screening Level

The Initial Threshold Screening Level (ITSL) for tertiary-amyl methyl ether is 62 μg/m3 with annual averaging time.
