To reduce the NO x and soot emissions of conventional diesel fuels, different renewable alternatives are investigated. One example are oxymethylene ethers (OME x ) of different chain lengths, which are intended to be used as diesel blends. Especially OME 3–5 show properties comparable to diesel. The key to producing longer chain OMEs is OME 1 as feedstock, which can react with formaldehyde to afford larger molecules. This article reviews different synthesis routes for OME 1 , in order to elucidate energy‐efficient methods.
