'''Methyl ''tert''-butyl ether''' ('''MTBE'''), also known as '''''tert''-butyl methyl ether''', is an [[organic compound]] with a structural formula (CH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub>COCH<sub>3</sub>. MTBE is a volatile, flammable, and colorless liquid that is sparingly soluble in water.<ref name=GESTIS /> Primarily used as a fuel additive, MTBE is blended into [[gasoline]] to increase its [[octane rating]] and [[knock resistance]], and reduce unwanted [[Exhaust gas|emissions]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Methyl tertiary butyl ether prices, markets & analysis |url=https://www.icis.com/explore/commodities/chemicals/methyl-tertiary-butyl-ether/ |access-date=2020-06-28 |website=ICIS Explore |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Oxygenates |url=https://www.api.org:443/oil-and-natural-gas/environment/clean-water/ground-water/oxygenates |access-date=2020-06-28 |website=www.api.org |language=en}}</ref>
