PRODUCTION OF CARBONIC ACID ESTER

摘要

PURPOSE:To selectively and advantageously produce a carbonic acid ester with a high catalytic activity under a mild reaction condition, especially a low pressure. CONSTITUTION:This method for production of a carbonic acid ester is characteristically carried out through a catalytic gas-phase reaction of carbon monoxide, oxygen and an alcohol in the presence of a catalyst composed of a divalent copper salt supported on an active carbon fiber.
