A process for esterifying organic carboxylic acids which comprises reacting an organic carboxylic acid with a carbonic acid ester of the formula: EQU1 wherein R is an organic group and X and Y are each a negative group in the presence of a basic substance to make esterified the carboxyl group in the organic carboxylic acid. The process is advantageous in affording the objective carboxylic ester in a good yield within a short time by a simple operation under a mild reaction condition.
