Different solid basic catalysts including CsF/αAl2O 3, KF/αAl2O3, Ca(NO3) 2/γAl2O3, NaNO3/γAl 2O3, LiNO3/γAl2O3 were evaluated for the transesterification of ethyl acrylate by n-hexanol. All of them are active and selective in the transesterification reaction under mild conditions and without solvent, using a 1/1 molar ratio of reactants. Ca/γAl2O3 was shown to be the most selective of this set of catalysts and it could be recycled three times without lost of selectivity.
