tert-Amyl ethyl ether (TAEE) is a chemical compound, classified as an ether, with the molecular formula C₇H₁₆O. It is used as an additive in gasoline fuels as an oxygenate^[2] and also as a solvent in organic chemistry.

TAEE is prepared by acid-catalyzed addition of ethanol to 2-methyl-2-butene.^[3]
