Patent ID: 8329936

Claim:
A method for producing at least one cyanoacrylic acid ester of the formula (I), comprising the following steps: a) transesterification of at least one 2-cyanoacrylic acid ester of the formula (II), in which R 1 is a branched or unbranched alkyl residue having 1 to 6 C atoms, with at least one alcohol of the general formula (III), [H—O—] n R Formula (III) in the presence of at least one transition metal catalyst that is formed by reacting at least one hydroxyl group-containing support material with at least one transition metal alkoxide, and b) isolation of the cyanoacrylic acid ester of the formula (I) obtained in step a), n being a whole number from 1 to 6 and R being an n-valent residue comprising 1 to 100 C atoms.
