Abstract

1- tert-Butoxy-2-propanol has been synthesized from propylene glycol and isobutene over two solid acid catalysts, montmorillonite and Amberlyst 15, in a packed trickle-bed reactor operating under different experimental conditions, and its antiknock properties as an oxygenate gasoline additive have been evaluated. The reaction on Amberlyst 15 fitted first-order kinetics for isobutene ( k′=0.37 h −1) for a molar ratio propylene glycol to isobutene of one.
