A METHOD OF FORMING AN ESTER OF A RELATIVELY HIGHER ALCOHOL AND A BETA-KETO ACID BY ESTER INTERCHANGE REACTION, WHICH COMPRISES HEATING A NON-CATALYTIC MIXTURE CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF SAID ALCOHOL AND AN ESTER OF A LOWER ALIPHATIC MONOHYDRIC ALCOHOL AND SAID ACID, AT LEAST IN MOLECULAR EQUIVALENCY OF SAID HIGHER ALCOHOL AND SAID ESTER INTERCHANGE BETWEEN SAID HIGHER ALCOHOL AND SAID ESTER OF A LOWER ALCOHOL, REDUCING THE CONCENTRATION OF EVOLVED LOWER ALCOHOL SUFFICIENTLY LOW TO MAINTAIN THE DESIRED ESTER INTERCHANGE, MAINTAINING THE TEMPERATURES OF THE OF REACTION BELOW THE DECOMPOSITION TEMPERATURES OF THE ALCOHOLS AND THE BETA KETO ESTERS, UNTIL THE REACTION IS SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLECTED AND RECOVERING THE RESULTING ESTER OF THE HIGHER ALCOHOL.
