ABSTRACT:
A process for simultaneously producing C.sub.5 -C.sub.12 alkane(s) and C.sub.5 -C.sub.8 tertiary alkyl ether(s) employs a liquid feed mixture containing (a) at least one C.sub.4 -C.sub.7 isoalkane, (b) at least one second reactant which is at least one C.sub.4 -C.sub.8 isoalkane, and/or at least one C.sub.4 -C.sub.8 tertiary alkyl alcohol, and (c) at least one C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 linear alkyl alcohol, wherein the liquid feed mixture is contacted at effective reaction conditions with a catalyst consisting essentially of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and a specific solid carrier material (preferably alumina).
