Sailing the seven ‘C's : 2,2,3‐Trimethylbutane (triptane) selectively forms from dimethyl ether at low temperatures on acid zeolites. Selective methylation at less‐substituted carbons, relative rates of methylation to hydrogen transfer as a function of chain size, slow skeletal isomerization, and β‐scission cracking of triptyl chains and their precursors are intrinsic properties of carbenium ions and account for the remarkable triptane selectivities within C 7 .
