N2  - Hydrogen chloride catalyses the decomposition of t-butyl ethyl ether at 320-428º. Isobutene is quantitatively the product and the kinetic form is first order in the ether and in hydrogen chloride. The Arrhenius equation:          k, = 1012'16exp( -30,60O/RT) (sec-l ml mole-=)   is followed. The mechanism of the reaction seems similar to those of other hydrogen halide catalysed decompositions of ethers and alcohols.
