PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a production method for obtaining a cyclic carbonate with a relatively high yield without utilizing high-pressure carbon dioxide and without utilizing any metal catalyst.SOLUTION: A cyclic carbonate production method comprises reacting an epoxy compound represented by the formula (1) with carbon dioxide in the presence of a compound represented by PhCH-X (Ph is a phenyl group; and X is a halogen atom), a homopolymer of chloromethylstyrene, a copolymer of chloromethylstyrene and styrene, or a chloromethylated polystyrene, so as to obtain a cyclic carbonate represented by the formula (2). (R is a substituted/unsubstituted C6-20 aryl group, a substituted/unsubstituted C1-20 alkyl group, or a substituted/unsubstituted C2-20 alkylene group.) |
