Alkoxyalkylaminotriazine trans-etherification products

An alkoxyalkylaminotriazine trans-etherification product suitable for use in baking finishes or acid-hardening finishes, which is obtained by reacting an alkoxyalkylaminotriazine of the formula (I) ##STR25## where X is hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 15 carbon atoms, phenyl, alkylphenyl, where alkyl is of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or ##STR26## A and B are identical or different and each is hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkenyl of 3 to 15 carbon atoms or ##STR27## and R and R' are identical or different and each is hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 9 carbon atoms, with from 0.1 to 6 moles, per mole of alkoxyalkylaminotriazine, of a .beta.-hydroxyaldehyde of the general formula (II) ##STR28## where R", R"' and R"" are identical or different and each is hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 5 carbon atoms or R"' and R"" together with the .alpha.-carbon atom form a cyclopentane or cyclohexane ring, and R"' or R"" can also be hydroxyalkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms and R"" can also be phenyl, in the presence of an acidic catalyst, and removing the alcohol resulting from the trans-etherification.
