The first carbon–carbon bond formation in the methanol to hydrocarbons (MTH) reaction over zeolite catalysts has been a highly controversial issue and has puzzled scientists for 30 years. In their Communication on page 9039 ff. Z. Liu, Y. Wei et al. propose a direct mechanism for the formation of the first C−C bond in the MTH reaction, based on the detection of the crucial intermediate, a surface methyleneoxy analogue species originating from activated DME or methanol, by in situ solid‐state NMR spectroscopy.
