tert-Amyl methyl ether

Description:
Tert-Amyl methyl ether (TAME) is an organic compound classified as an ether, specifically an alkyl ether. It is characterized by its molecular formula C6H14O and is known for its low boiling point and moderate polarity. TAME is a colorless, flammable liquid with a mild, pleasant odor, making it suitable for various applications, including as a solvent and fuel additive. It has a relatively low viscosity and is soluble in organic solvents while being less soluble in water. TAME is often used in the formulation of gasoline to enhance octane ratings and reduce emissions. Additionally, it serves as a solvent in chemical processes and can be utilized in the production of other chemicals. Its chemical stability and low toxicity contribute to its favorable profile for industrial use. However, like many ethers, it should be handled with care due to its flammability and potential health effects upon inhalation or skin contact. Proper safety measures are essential when working with this compound.
