Advances in dimethyl carbonate synthesis by gas-phase oxidative carbonylation of methanol;

Study of preparing conditions of methanol liquid oxidative carbonylation to dimethyl carbonate;

Advances in the synthesis of dimethyl carbonate by methanol oxidative carbonylation in a slurry reaction system;

Among them, methoxycarbonylation of 2,4-toluene diamine with dimethylcarbonate (DMC) followed by decom.

The results showed that in the case of substantial excess of DMC, the apparent dynamic model of the one-step synthesis of MPC by methoxycarbonylation of aniline with DMC could be treated as a pseudo first order reaction.

The synthesis of dimethyl carbonate via oxidative carbonylation of methanol was reviewed.

Three methods including phosgenation, transesterification and oxidative carbonylation for synthesizing DPC were introduced.

The present and future aspects of the synthetic processes of dimethyl carbonate were reviewed,and the appraisements about transesterification, ENI liquid - phase oxidative carbonylation and Ube gas - phase oxidative carbonylation processes were given also.
