Carboxylation of methane with CO or CO₂ in aqueous solution catalysed by vanadium complexes

Abstract

Reaction of methane with CO or CO₂ in aqueous solution in the presence of O₂ (catalysed by NaVO₃) or H₂O₂ (catalysed by NaVO₃–pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid) at 25–100 °C affords acetic acid and in some cases also methanol, methyl hydroperoxide and formaldehyde.
