“…In 2003, Cui et al [35] achieved 51.5% yield of DMC in 3 h from ethylene oxide (EO) using 15.9 mol% K2CO3 as catalyst at 120 °C under 15 MPa CO2. Very recently, Yang et al [23] obtained 38.7% yield of DMC after 6 h from cyclohexane oxide (CHO) using 0.8 mol% K2CO3 as catalyst at 150 °C under 2.6 MPa CO2 (initial pressure at room temperature). It is clear from these results that a high reaction pressure is needed in the one-pot synthesis of DMC catalyzed by an alkali carbonate, and the highest yield of DMC was 50%.…”

“…They also reached a high selectivity of around 80 % by using ZrO 2 -MgO as catalyst [127]. Cyclohexene was also used to remove water from the reaction mixture [128], producing DMC and 1,2-cyclohexanediol, with 2-methoxycyclohexanol as side product.…”

This review summarizes the state-of-the-art for direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from carbon dioxide and methanol. In addition, conventional and alternative processes are also discussed in order to understand the advantages and disadvantages of the direct synthesis of DMC. Furthermore, the major applications of DMC are described: solvent, fuels additive, and building block for organic synthesis. The major drawbacks of the direct synthesis of DMC are the low yield and reaction rate, mostly induced by the highly stable carbon dioxide molecules. The development of novel catalyst and strategies to enhance the DMC yield -such as dehydrating agents that remove the water from the reacting mixture -are pointed out as the key solution for this route. Therefore, the main catalysts (homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts) used so far are presented, together with the respective operating conditions and catalyst performance. The use of different dehydrating agents to increase the DMC yield is also discussed.
