ABSTRACT:
Ethers suitable for use as high octane oxygenate additives for motor fuels or other compounds such as alcohols or alkylates are produced in a catalytic distillation process wherein a C.sub.4 -plus isoolefin(s) and an alcohol present in the catalytic distillation zone overhead stream are charged to a packed liquid-phase reaction zone containing an etherification catalyst before being recycled to the overall catalytic distillation zone. The effluent of the liquid-phase reactor is returned to the catalytic distillation zone at a point above the catalyst in this zone. The feed(s) to the process passes directly into the catalytic distillation zone, without passage through a prereactor, at a point located below a majority of catalyst bed in the catalytic distillation zone.
