vacuum ltration, washing with methanol, and drying performed after each reaction.
It was found that after the rst use, the activity dropped considerably as 10 h were
required to reach full conversion in the second run as opposed to 5 h for the rst run.
Nevertheless, after this initial drop in activity, the activity remained constant for
three additional runs. Leaching of the metal into solution was found not to occur to a
noticeable degree. Importantly, the authors also noted that the oxidation of methanol
occurs to a signicant extent, leading to the formation of side-products such as meth-
ylformate, formaldehyde dimethylacetal, and CO
