    Abstract: A process for the preparation of acetic acid esters CH3-CO-O-R1 (I, R1=an organic radical other than methyl and ethyl) by alkali-catalyzed trans-esterification of an acetic acid ester CH3-CO-O-R2 (II, R2=methyl or ethyl) with an alcohol R1-OH (III), accompanied by elimination of the alcohol R2-OH (IV), wherein (a) the trans-esterification reaction is carried out in the middle section KM of a distillation column K, the alcohol III being fed as liquid into the upper zone and the ester II into the lower zone of KM, (b) the alkaline catalyst is introduced into the upper part KU of K, (c) the alcohol IV, or a mixture of IV and the ester II, is taken off the top of the column, (d) the mixture obtained from (c) (unless the alcohol IV alone is obtained) is separated in the column section KU or in a stripper column KS into IV and the azeotrope of II and IV, and the latter is recycled to the lower zone of KM, (e) the ester I is taken as vapor or liquid from the lower zone of the lower section KL of K and (f) the catalyst is either removed, or recycled to KU, in a conventional manner.

    Abstract: An improved process for the preparation of higher unsaturated ketones, such as geranylacetone and farnesylacetone, by reacting a beta , gamma -unsaturated alcohol and an alkyl acetoacetate at an elevated temperature in the presence of an organic aluminum compound, with elimination, and removal, of the alcohol derived from the alkyl acetoacetate in a reactor system carrying a fractionating column. The improvement in the purity, yield, and especially space-time yield of the product is achieved by starting from an alcohol having a higher boiling point than that of the alkyl acetoacetate used, carrying out the reaction in the presence of a small amount of an inert liquid which has a boiling point between that of the alkyl acetoacetate and the alcohol to be eliminated therefrom, and ensuring that the temperature at the bottom of the fractionating column is only slightly higher than the boiling point of the added liquid, under the prevailing pressure.
