An improvement to the interfacial boundary process for continuous production of carbonic acid diaryl esters is disclosed. The process that entails a reaction of monophenols in an inert solvent, in the presence of an alkaline solution and a nitrogen base catalyst, is carried out in two stages. In the first stage phosgene, inert solvent and phenol in solution are combined to form a material system and a second stage the reaction to form carbonic acid diaryl ester is completed. The improvement comprising maintaining in the first stage a pH of 11.0 to 12.0 and a temperature below 40° C. and a pH of 7.5-10.5 and a temperature <50° C. in the second stage.
