shock waves coupled with the single-pulse method and UV (195nm) absorption
spectroscopy in the temperature range 1000–1500K at total pressures ranging between 1.0
and 9.0 atm. The energies of ETBE and transition states for the reactions ETBE= iso-C4H8+
C2H5OH (1) and ETBE= C2H4+ tert-C4H9OH (2) were calculated at the MP4/cc-
pVTZ//MP2/cc-pVTZ level of theory. A 170-reaction mechanism was constructed to explain …
