Synthesis of 2,3-dimethyl-2-methoxybutane and 2-methyl-2-methoxypentane from methanol and propylene dimers produced by the dimerization of propylene on complex nickel catalysts
A study has been made of the addition of methanol under the action of acid catalysts to propylene dimers 2,3-dimethylbut-1-ene, 2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene, 2-methyl-1-pentene and 2-methyl-2-pentene with the formation of 2,3-dimethyl-2-methoxybutane and 2-methyl-2-methoxypentane respectively.
