Abstract

A highly active Nafion-H catalyst is developed for vapour phase carbonylation of dimethoxymethane (DMM) to methyl methoxyacetate (MMAc) with a significant MMAc selectivity as high as 90%. The excellently catalytic performance is because of the unique structure and high acid strength of the Nafion-H catalyst.
