Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE: A process for the preparation of macro cyclic esters from dicarboxylic acid glycol ester is provided which is industrially advantageous because it is carried out in a short process, simple operation and good yield. CONSTITUTION: The process comprises (1)heating a mixture of (a) a dicarboxylic acid bis(glycol)ester, (b) a glycol of HO-(CH2)n-OH in an amount of 1-50 times by mole based on the unit of dicarboxylic acid of esters, (c) an inert, high-boiling reaction medium in an amount of 0.1-20 times by weight based on the total amount of ester, in the presence of a catalyst, to 150 to 350°C under pressure of about 0.1 to 500 mbar, (2)removing glycol to give a macro cyclic ester of the formula 1.
