The reaction of isobutylene with alcohols is of interest for the synthesis of alkyl tert-butyl ethers, which can be used as high-octane motor fuel additives. The basic method of synthesis of these ethers is the reaction of isobutylene in various technical fractions of C/sub 4/ hydrocarbons with alcohols in the presence of acid catalysts, for which cation-exchange resins are the most frequently proposed. To obtain additional information about the equilibrium of the synthesis of these ethers they investigated the equilibrium of this reaction at 323 K, i.e., at a temperature close to the industrial synthesis temperature. The reaction products were analyzed on a Khrom-3.1 chromatograph with flame ionization detector on a packed glass column. Thermodynamic and kinetic results that agree with each other have been obtained.
