title: Amorphous oxide as a novel efficient catalyst for direct selective oxidation of methanol to dimethoxymethane.
abstract: We report for the first time the use of an amorphous oxide catalyst for the selective oxidation of methanol in the gas phase, leading at 553 K to the production of dimethoxymethane with a selectivity as high as 90% at high methanol conversion (68%).
