Abstract
If the transesterification of esters of the formula ##STR1## with alcohols of the formula III A--(OH).sub.m is catalyzed by successive treatment with catalytic amounts (a) of a tin compound of a metal of the fourth main group or the fourth sub-group of the periodic system and (b) of an acid earth, compounds of the formula I ##STR2## are obtained in virtually quantitative yield. The products thus obtained contain no troublesome by-products and do not have to be additionally purified. R is methyl or ethyl, A is a radical derived from an m-hydric aliphatic alcohol, n is 0 to 2, and m is 1 to 4.
