Ester manufacturing method (by machine translation)

Paragraph 0079; 0080, (2017/02/17)
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce an ester compound by transesterification using an inexpensive and low toxic inorganic compound. SOLUTION: Transesterification of an ester compound and an alcohol compound is carried out under the presence of lanthanum nitrate (for example, lanthanum nitrate hexahydrate) and a phosphine compound (for example, tri-n-octylphosphine), thereby obtaining the ester product. For example, transesterification of dimethyl carbonate and benzyl alcohol is carried out under the presence of 1 mol% of lanthanum nitrate hexahydrate, and 2 mol% of tri-n-octylphosphine, thereby obtaining benzyl methylcarbonate at a yield of >99%.
