The lower boiling portion of the byproducts distilled from synthetic MeOH consists mostly of ethers and esters, of which MeOAc is the main representative. Me2S, Me2CO, and aldehydes are also present. About half the higher-boiling fraction is iso-BuOH. The rest consists of other higher alcohols and acids. |
