Abstract
The role of the localization of acid sites in macroporous sulfonic resin Amberlyst 15 in the synthesis of ethyl tert-butyl ether was investigated. By partial blockage of the acid sites by Na+ cations it was established that internal acid sites are primarily active in the reaction while a side reaction with the formation of tert-butanol takes place at the external acid sites.
