Ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE) is commonly used as an oxygenate gasoline additive in the production of gasoline from crude oil. ETBE offers equal or greater air quality benefits than ethanol, while being technically and logistically less challenging. Unlike ethanol, ETBE does not induce evaporation of gasoline, which is one of the causes of smog, and does not absorb moisture from the atmosphere.

You can prepare  Ethyl tert - Butyl Ether in the labotatory by Williamson,s synthesis by refluxing t-Bytyl chloride with sodium ethoxide & distilling under vacuum ?

Thanks @Pillai and @ Deshmukh

Ethyl Tert - Butyl Ether can be prepared by reacting t-butyl chloride with sodium ethoxide like Williamson,s synthesis Or by the catalytic route is absolutely good with 100% efficiency.
