Methyl tert-butyl ether, also known as methyl tertiary butyl ether and MTBE. In addition, MTBE is a volatile, flammable, and colorless liquid that is sparingly soluble in water.
MTBE is composed of 75 percent butane.
These are common refinery chemicals. So, no, the MTBE Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether enriched scales are removed from the storage tanks and can come under phosphoric material category.
The IUPAC name for tert-butyl propyl ether is 1-methylethoxypropane.
1-Methoxypropane An ether is just an oxygen atom with two R groups branching off of it. Methyl propyl ether has a methyl group and propyl group branching off, so it is named methoxypropane.

Yes, its formula is C5H12O. It contains carbon and is thus organic.
Dimethyl ether is CH3-O-CH3
Tert-butyl methyl ether more polar than petroleum ethere cause petroleum ether isn't an ether- it's composed of hydrocarbons, which are nonpolar. The real ether that is in tBME includes oxygen, which is electronegative and creates more polarity in the molecule.
It's used as the liquid portion of some high-performance paints.
IUPAC nomenclature: Isobutyl methyl ether : 1-methoxy-2-methylpropane Methyl tert-butyl ether : 2-methoxy-2-methylpropane Resorcinol : 1,3-dihydroxybenzene Catechol : 1,2-dihydroxybenzene Isobutyl alcohol : 2-methyl-1-propanol or 2-methylpropan-1-ol Even more at http://www.scribd.com/doc/14024052/IUPAC-Nomenclature-Exercises-in-Organic-Chemistry prepared by aditya vardhan, the world famous chemist.
Chemically, butyl ether is an ether. It may also be called a butoxy compound.
