Summary:Dialkyl carbonate and diol products are prepared in an integrated process performed by reacting an alkylene oxide with carbon dioxide in the presence of a non-halide-containing homogeneous carbonation catalyst in a first reaction zone to form a crude cyclic carbonate product. The crude cyclic carbonate product is introduced along with an aliphatic monohydric alcohol to a second reaction zone containing a transesterification catalyst. The transesterification catalyst is comprised of a strongly basic Type I ion exchange resin in gel having a particular form. The cyclic carbonate product and monohydric alcohol are reacted to form the dialkyl carbonate and diol products.; In another aspect, dialkyl carbonate and diol products are prepared in an integrated process wherein a halide-containing homogeneous carbonation catalyst is used to form a crude cyclic carbonate product that is then used in a transesterification reaction. The transesterification catalyst is regenerated to accommodate the effects of the halide-co
