The process for producing an aromatic carbonate

A process for producing an aromatic carbonate, (1) an organometallic compound and by the carbon dioxide are reacted to obtain a reaction mixture containing a dialkyl carbonate formed by the reaction, (2) the from the reaction mixture separating the dialkyl carbonate to obtain a residual liquid, (3) the residual liquid is reacted with an alcohol to form at least one organometal compound and water to remove the water from the organometal compound, (4 ) step (2) the dialkyl carbonate separated in the aromatic hydroxy compound are reacted in obtaining an aromatic carbonic ester, wherein the.
