Amorphous oxide as a novel efficient catalyst for direct selective oxidation of methanol to dimethoxymethane.
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%).
