摘要：

2-ethyl-1-hexene was etherified with methanol to 3-methoxy-3-methylheptane. The product ether is a novel compound whose existence has not been reported earlier. Isomerisation of 2-ethyl-1-hexene leads to four alkenes, and each of these produces the same ether compound. In a study of the conditions for the etherification reaction it was observed that the ether formation can be maximised by decreasing the temperature and increasing the molar ratio of methanol to 2-ethyl-1-hexene. This is what would be expected for an exothermic reaction controlled by thermodynamic equilibrium.
