Alkoxyalkylaminotriazine trans-etherification products are obtained by reacting an alkoxyalkylaminotriazine of the general formula ##STR1## where X is hydrogen, alkyl, phenyl, alkylphenyl or ##STR2## A and B are hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl or ##STR3## and R and R' are hydrogen or alkyl, with from 0.1 to 6 moles, per mole of alkoxyalkylaminotriazine, of a .beta.-hydroxyaldehyde of the general formula ##STR4## where R', R'' and R'' are identical or different and each is hydrogen or alkyl or R'' and R'' together with the .alpha.-carbon atom form a cyclopentane or cyclohexane ring, and R'' and/or R'' can also be hydroxyalkyl and R'' can also be phenyl, in the presence of an acidic catalyst, and removing the alcohol resulting from the trans-etherification. The alkoxyalkylaminotriazine trans-etherification products may be used in baking finishes and acid-hardening surface coatings.
