Abstract

Abstract In producing ester compound useful as an antioxidant for organic materials which are represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and represent hydrogen or straight or branched chain alkyl radicals containing 1-8 carbon atoms, Z is an organic radical derived from an n-hydroxy alcohol, and n denotes an integer of 1 to 4, by transesterification, monoalkyltin compounds are used as a catalyst, whereby the ester compounds can be produced with high quality and in high yields.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 119 words
A process for producing an ester compound of the formula: ##STR8## wherein R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and represent hydrogen or straight or branched chain alkyl radicals containing 1-8 carbon atoms, Z is an organic radical derived from an n-hydroxy alcohol, and n denotes an integer of 1 to 4, which comprises subjecting a compound of the formula: ##STR9## wherein R 1 and R 2 have the same definition as above, and R 3 is a straight or branched chain alkyl radical containing 1-8 carbon atoms, and a compound of the formula: Z--OH).sub.n wherein the respective symbols are the same as above, to transesterification in the presence of a monoalkyltin compound as a catalyst.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 119 words
