A facile and selective transesterification of beta-ketoesters Using zinc(l]) oxide as catalyst is described. The emphasis has been placed on the reaction of methyl 3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-oxopropanoate with a series of alcohols of different Structures, leading in all cases good to excellent yields.
