Mechanistic differences between methanol and dimethyl ether in zeolite-catalyzed hydrocarbon synthesis

Water influences critically the kinetics of the autocatalytic conversion of methanol to hydrocarbons in acid zeolites. At very low conversions but otherwise typical reaction conditions, the initiation of the reaction is delayed in presence of H₂O. In absence of hydrocarbons, the main reactions are t...
