Abstract:
Compounds and methods of preparing compounds of the formula: wherein n is an integer from 1 to 15, m is either 0 or 1; R , R , R , and R are each a hydrogen or a hydrocarbyl group; Y is COâ(CR R ) , wherein R and R are each a hydrogen or hydrocarbyl group and p is zero or an integer from 1 to 20 or COâC H â, wherein the substitution pattern on the phenylene group is an ortho, meta, or para substitution pattern and one or more of the hydrogens of the phenylene group may be substituted by a hydrocarbyl group or a functional group; Z is âOâ or âNGâ, wherein G is H, C -C alkyl or the radical R; wherein R is wherein R is hydrogen, C -C alkyl, O, OH, CH CN, C -C alkoxy, C -C hydroxyalkoxy, C -C cycloalkoxy, C -C hydroxycycloalkoxy, C -C alkenyl, C -C alkynyl, C -C phenylalkyl, unsubstituted or substituted on the phenyl with 1, 2 or 3 C -C alkyls, or an aliphatic C -C acyl; R is hydrogen, C -C alkyl, or benzyl; R , R , R , and R are each a hydrogen, C -C alkyl, benzyl or phenethyl, or two geminal R moieties, which together with the carbon to which they are attached form a C -C cycloalkyl; and A is either ZR or a hydrocarbyl group, which are useful for stabilizing polymer compositions against photo- and thermal degradation.
