Abstract
A process for the transesterification of dimethyl succinylsuccinate with one or more aliphatic alcohols which in each case have at least 2 C atoms, in the presence of an acidic catalyst and in the presence or absence of a diluent which is inert under the reaction conditions, with exclusion of oxygen and under pressure, at least one of the two methoxy groups being replaced by the oxy group corresponding to the alcohol used.

Process for the transesterification of dimethyl succinylsuccinate, characterized in that dimethyl succinylsuccinate is reacted with one or more aliphatic, straight-chain, branched or cyclic monoalcohols which are unsubstituted or substituted by phenyl groups and in each case have 2 to 22 C atoms, in the presence of an acidic catalyst and in the presence or absence of a diluent which is inert under the reaction conditions with exclusion of oxygen and under pressure, at least one of the two methoxy groups being replaced by the oxy group corresponding to the alcohol used.
