esterification ----->

ROH + R'-COOH -------> R'COOR acid with alcohol gives ester

transesterification

ROH + R'COOR'' -------- > R'COOR change of alkyl group present with R'COO by using a alcohol

if you want to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transesterification

Esterification is the general name for a chemical reaction in which two reactants (typically an alcohol and an acid) form an ester as the reaction product.

H3C-COOH + HO-CH2-CH3 → H3C-COO-CH2-CH3 + H2O

Transesterification is the process of exchanging the alkoxy group of an ester compound with another alcohol. These reactions are often catalyzed by the addition of an acid or base.
