Conversion of methane to propanal at ambient pressure

A continuous process is described using three catalysts in sequence for the synthesis of the C3 oxygenate propanal, from methane and air, at 1 atm in 13.2% yield. The three catalytic reactions are the methane oxidative coupling to ethene, methane partial oxygenation to synthesis gas, and the hydrofo...
