A catalytic process is provided for the manufacture of ethers by reacting a linear monoolefin with a primary or secondary alcohol having up to 4 carbon atoms. The process selectively forms methyl isopropyl ether from a propylene feed and methanol by contact with a zeolite such as Zeolite Beta or ZSM-5, or by contact with a macroreticular sulfonated ion-exchange resin. |
