Quinone tailored selective oxidation of methane over palladium catalyst with molecular oxygen as an oxidant

Yafang Fan, Zengjian An, Xiulian Pan, Xiumei Liu and Xinhe Bao

With the in situ generated H2O2 tailored by the addition of p-tetrachlorobenzoquinone, the product can be effectively steered towards either HCOOH or the methanol derivative CF3COOCH3 during the direct oxidation of methane with molecular oxygen over palladium catalyst.
