Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of carbonic acid esters of mono- or polyalcohols, which is characterized in that urethanes are reacted with monoalcohols or with polyalcohols in a molar ratio of alcohol to urethane group of at least 1 to 1, in the presence of a catalyst, at reaction temperatures of between 120.degree. C. and 270.degree. C. The present invention thus also relates to a process for the preparation of oligocarbonates and of polycarbonates, which is characterized in that monourethanes or bisurethanes are reacted with primary dialcohols in a molar ratio of about 1.5:1 to about 1:1.5, together with monoalcohols, in the presence of catalysts, at reaction temperatures of between 120.degree. C. and 270.degree. C.
