Catalysts capable of catalyzing the transesterification of alkyl picolinate and monobutyl ether of formula II may be used in this step, and in particular, catalysts capable of catalyzing the transesterification of ethyl triclopyr and monobutyl ether of ethylene glycol may be used in this step. Preferably, the catalyst is selected from the group consisting of monobutyl tin oxide, concentrated sulfuric acid, and p-toluene sulfonic acid. The amount of the catalyst to be used is not particularly limited, and is a conventional amount in transesterification.
