Popis:	We report here the highest productivity ever observed in the direct conversion of methanol into 1,1-dimethoxymethane (ca. 4.6 kgDMM h−1 kgcat−1 at 553 K), this result being obtained over an FeMo catalyst. This catalyst is industrially used to selectively convert methanol into formaldehyde but has never before been applied to the present reaction. Placing this FeMo catalyst under unusual reaction conditions, i.e., using a feed rich in methanol, completely changed its behaviour in terms of selectivity: the massive production of 1,1-dimethoxymethane, instead of formaldehyde, was observed.
