High-purity reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis in food and environmental samples.

Overview

Amyl methyl ether, also known as tert-Amyl methyl ether (TAME), is a clear, colorless liquid with a chemical formula of C₆H₁₄O. It is used primarily as a fuel oxygenate to enhance octane levels and reduce exhaust emissions. TAME has a high boiling point of 86.3°C and a low melting point of -80°C, making it suitable for various industrial applications.

Uses

TAME is mostly used as an oxygenate in gasoline to increase octane levels, replace banned tetraethyl lead, and raise the oxygen content in fuel. It is also utilized as a solvent in organic synthesis, providing an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional ether solvents. Common applications include condensation reactions, coupling reactions, and metal hydride reductions.

Regulatory

TAME is regulated under various international guidelines to ensure its safe use in fuel and industrial applications. Compliance with these regulations is essential for laboratories and industries using this compound.

Monitoring

Regular monitoring of TAME levels in environmental and food samples is crucial for ensuring compliance with regulatory limits. High-purity reference materials from HPC Standards GmbH are essential for accurate and reliable residue analysis.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Inhalation studies in rats have shown that exposure to high concentrations of TAME can result in central nervous system (CNS) depression and other adverse effects. The no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) for TAME in these studies was 500 ppm.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

TAME can have various environmental impacts, particularly on aquatic life. It is essential to monitor its levels in the environment to mitigate any potential adverse effects.

Safety Measures

Proper storage and handling of TAME are crucial to ensure safety. The compound is stable under recommended storage conditions but can emit acrid smoke and irritating vapors when heated to decomposition.
