This paper describes the effect of the in situ hydrolysis of 2-cyanopyridine and its derivatives on the synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from CO₂ and methanol over CeO₂. 2-Cyanopyridine, with the highest electronic charge number of the carbon in the cyanogroup, is the most effective agent to accelerate the desired reaction by a decrease of water. CeO₂(110) planes are active for the hydrolysis of 2-cyanopyridine, further enhancing the DMC formation by in situ removal of water effectively. The DMC yield is improved drastically up to 378.5 mmol g cat^-1 from 12.8 mmol g cat^-1 with the in situ hydrolysis of 2-cyanopyridine over rod-CeO₂(110) catalyst.
