Abstract: Diphenyl carbonate (DPC) is an important intermediate in chemistry industry. The synthesis of DPC via transesterification with phenol is a nonphosgene route instead of the conventional phosgene route，which includes the reactions of phenol with dimethyl carbonate (DMC) or with dimethyl oxalate (DMO). The principle and characteristic of these two transesterification reactions are discussed respectively. The development and corresponding characteristics of heterogeneous catalysts for the transesterification reactions are reviewed，including metal oxides，zeolites or hydrotlcite，and heteropolycation compounds.

摘要： 苯酚酯交换合成碳酸二苯酯的酯交换法包括苯酚和碳酸二甲酯（DMC）酯交换法及苯酚和草酸二甲酯（DMO）酯交换法。本文介绍了这两种酯交换法的反应原理及特点，综述了以苯酚为原料的酯交换法中多相催化剂的研究现状，并对相应的多相催化剂的特点进行了评述。
