Direct catalytic conversion of methane in molten salt medium system under mild conditions

At 160 degrees C and ca. 6 MPa, methane could be selectively activated in a AgNO3-KNO3 molten salt medium system. Methane was either converted into a mixture of methyl trifluoroacetate and acetone, or exclusively converted into acetone when different catalysts were added.
