This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.
93.8% conversion into acetic acid with 100% selectivity was achieved in the calcium-catalyzed carboxylation of methane [Eq. (a)]. In the catalyst system, CaCl2 is eventually converted into CaO., which abstracts an H atom from methane. The resulting CH3. radical is trapped by CO, and CH3CO. is converted with trifluoroacetic acid into acetic acid via the mixed anhydride. TFA=trifluoroacetic acid, TFAA=trifluoroacetic anhydride.
