Abstract
The formation of the first carbon−carbon bond in the methanol to gasoline (MTG) process has been examined with density functional theory. Two reaction pathways survive. One is the CO-catalyzed mechanism and the other is the new mechanism that involves the reaction of methane and formaldehyde. The new mechanism is one of the most energetically favorable and is consistent with available experiments.
