Abstract
A new route for the synthesis of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) from isobutane using a single catalytic system is developed in the liquid phase; the key of the process relies on the use of a bifunctional material, Al-TS-1, capable of catalysing the oxidation of isobutane with H2O2 and consequently etherification with methanol.
