Thinking about Artex bringing his laptop and a tube for methane to power his laptop on a backpacking trip so he can post on TT. That image is just too funny...and a little disturbing. Help! Make it go away...

Can methane be converted into methanol? I never made it to organic chemistry. Where's skully when someone asks the important questions?

Methane: CH4

Methanol: CH3OH

Methane burns to produce water and CO2. Not sure how you would produce methanol from methane. Maybe if you burned it in an oxygen-poor environment, but I wouldn't bet on it.
