A process for converting gaseous hydrocarbons, having in combination at least one carbon atom and hydrogen group, into liquid hydrocarbons is disclosed. The process includes the steps of dissociating the gaseous hydrocarbons in the absence of oxygen and breaking at least some of the bonds in the hydrocarbon to produce unstable gaseous byproducts. Then the unstable gaseous byproducts are reacted with a solution chosen from the group consisting of hydroxide bases and carbonate bases to produce a reacted solution comprising at least some liquid hydrocarbons. Typically sodium hydroxide is used. This process is ideally suited for the conversion of methane to methanol wherein in the above process hydrogen ion is reacted with the unstable gaseous byproducts to form the neutral methyl radical.
