Abstract

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of carbonic acid esters with high selectivity and under reaction conditions which permit high space/time yields, said process being one in which an alcohol is allowed to react with a mixture of molecular oxygen and carbon monoxide in the liquid phase in the presence of a catalyst system containing copper, chemically bonded oxygen, chemically bonded halogen and at least one nitrogen base.
