Towards a Sustainable Synthesis of Oxymethylene Dimethyl Ether by Homogeneous Catalysis and Uptake of Molecular Formaldehyde.

Oxymethylene dimethyl ethers (OME_n ; CH₃ (-OCH₂ -)_n O-CH₃ , n=3-5) are a novel class of sustainable synthetic fuels, which are of increasing interest due to their soot-free combustion. Herein a novel anhydrous OME_n synthesis route is ... View More
