Abstract

The results obtained in the second part of the study of vicinal (tert-butoxy)alkanols as additives to automobile gasolines are presented. Mono-tert-butyl ethers of ethylene glycol (ETBE) and 2,3-butanediol (BTBE) were prepared by direct acid-catalyzed alkylation of the corresponding diols with tert-butanol. The substances obtained were characterized by main physical properties (density, viscosity, boiling point, crystallization point, specific heat of combustion) and were studied as additives to automobile gasolines. The effect of ether additives on the main physicochemical properties of gasolines (fractional composition, saturated vapor pressure, concentration of actual resins, knock resistance), including ethanol-containing gasolines, was studied. The mean research/motor blending octane numbers for ETBE and BTBE were 130/103 and 115/97, respectively. Inclusion of ETBE/BTBE into the formulations of ethanol-containing gasolines allowed the cloud point to be considerably reduced without unambiguous synergistic effect on the knock resistance.
