There is provided a catalyst for dimethyl carbonate synthesis which has a high conversion rate under the supercritical condition of CO 2 and can be handled easily. The catalyst for dimethyl carbonate is obtained by loading SO 4 2− or PO 4 3− on a carrier composed of a compound having a solid acid site, and is used to produce dimethyl carbonate from acetone dimethyl carbonate and CO 2 in a supercritical state. The component having a solid acid site is preferably one or more of ZrO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , and TiO 2 . |
