These compounds and their copolymers are advantageously used, for example, for stabilizing organic material against the damaging effect of light, oxygen and/or heat.

Description: Thermally stable hindered amines as stabilizers The invention relates to novel 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidines which are substituted on the ring nitrogen and contain, in the 4-position, a substituent with a polymerizable double bond, to their homopolymers and copolymers, to their use for stabilizing organic material against damage by light, oxygen and/or heat, and to organic material stabilized by means of said compounds or polymers. A number of hindered amines of the 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine type have already been disclosed as additives for synthetic polymers, in particular as light stabilizers; these include 4-substituted derivatives of 1 -propargyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine. By way of example, the following publications may be mentioned in this respect: US-A-4 472 547 (C.A.l02:46831z); EP-A-11 051 (C.A.94:39518r); DE-A-2 805 838 (C.A.90:22820c). US-A-4 386 127 (C.A.99:89380p) also describes 1-butynyl-2,2,6,6- tetramethyl-4-hydroxypiperidine. The use of some compounds of the 2,6-diarylpiperidin-1 -yl-substituted 2-butene type as stabilizers has also been disclosed (US-A-5 204 474). A number of scientific publications describe 1 -butynyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpipehdines whose piperidine ring is unsubstituted in the 4-position, and their possible use as medicaments; for example M. E. Zuhair et al., Eur. J. Med. Chem. 27, 93 (1992) (C.A.U7:26405v); J. M. A. Al-Rawi et al. in Org. Magn. Reson. 19, 91 (1982) (C.A.97:155132w) and Org. Magn. Reson. 15, 285 (1981) (C.A.95:60789k); B. Karlen et al., J. Med. Chem. 13, 651 (1970) (C.A.73:44857w). 1 ,6-Bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1 -yl)hexadiyne ) whose piperidine rings are unsubstituted in the 4-position, is described in the publications US-A-3 755 586 (C.A.80: 19550c); W. B. Lutz et al., J. Org. Chem. 27, 1695 (1962) and US-A-3 085 093 (C.A.59:9998e) as a pharmaceutically active compound. It has now been found that certain compounds of the 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine type which contain both a triple bond in the β-position on the ring nitrogen atom and a polymerizable double bond in the 4-position on the piperidine ring are surprisingly suitable as stabilizers for organic material. They also have high thermal stability and thus allow higher processing temperatures in the application and consequently a higher throughput on further processing of the products stabilized in this way. The invention therefore relates firstly to compounds of the formula I in which R is H, Cι-C 12 alkyl, phenyl, (C--C 4 alkyl)phenyl, phenyl-C.-Caalkyl, halogen, C 2 -Ci 2 alkynyl or C--Ci 2 alkoxy, X is NR', NCOR' or O, and Y is R" or R"-CO-, where R" is rCe-alkenyl or C 3 -C 6 alkenyl which is interrupted by -O-, -CO-, -NR'-, -S-, -SO-, -SO 2 - or phenylene, or (Cι-C 4 alkenyl)phenyl, and R' is H or Cι-C 12 -alkyl, or -X-Y is a group of the formula — d-Ci 2 alkyl R and R' are, for example, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl, t-butyl, 2-ethylbutyl, n-pentyl, isopentyl, 1 -methylpentyl, 1 ,3-dimethylbutyl, n-hexyl, 1 -methylhexyl, n-heptyl, isoheptyl, 1 ,1 ,3,3-tetramethylbutyl, 1-methylheptyl, 3-methylheptyl, n-octyl, 2-ethylhexyl, 1 ,1 ,3-trimethylhexyl, 1 ,1 ,3,3-tetramethylpentyl, nonyl, decyl, undecyl, 1 -methylundecyl, dodecyl, or 1 ,1 ,3,3,5,5-hexamethylhexyl.

Preference is given to compounds of the formula II in which Z is a direct bond and R 2 , R 3 and R 4 , independently of one another, are H or d-C alkyl. n in the compounds of the formula II is preferably from 2 to 1 ,000, in particular from 2 to 100. The invention furthermore relates to copolymers obtainable by addition copolymerization of compounds of the formula I with at least one comonomer containing a polymerizable, ethylenically unsaturated C=C double bond. Preference is given to copolymers in which the comonomer is one or more compounds from the group consisting of α-olefins, styrenes, α-methylstyrenes, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylates, methacrylates, acrylamides, methacrylamides, acrylonitrile, vinyl acetate or vinyl chloride. These copolymers preferably contain from 1 to 99 mol% of structural units of the formula II and from 99 to 1 mol% of structural units of the formula III in which Rs is H, d-doalkyl, phenyl, -COOR 7 , -CONH 2 , -C-N or -Cl, R 6 is H or Cι-C 10 alkyl and R 7 is H or Cι-C 10 alkyl.

The copolymers comprising compounds of the formula I with a comonomer containing a C=C double bond preferably have a mean molecular weight M n of from 500 to1 ,000,000, preferably from 1 ,000 to 100,000, in particular from 1 ,000 to 10,000. Compounds of the formula I are prepared, for example, by reacting 4-(alkyl)amino- or 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidines of the formula IV or V C C R R in which R and R' are as defined above, with unsaturated, polymerizable carboxylic acids, carboxylic acid chlorides or carboxylic acid ester derivatives in a manner known per se, or by reacting 4-substituted 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidines of the formula VI Y I in which X and Y are as defined above, with an appropriate alkynyl-p-toluenesulfonic acid compound in a manner known per se. The preparation is preferably carried out by reacting compounds of the formula IV or V in which R is H or CH 3 and R' is C C 4 alkyl or H with, for example, acryloyl chloride, methacryloyi chloride, methacrylic acid, methylmethacrylic acid or vinylbenzyl chloride, or by reacting compounds of the formula VI in which X and Y together are CH 2 =CHCONH- or CH 2 =C(CH 3 )CONH- with propargyl tosylate. Both compounds of the formula IV and of the formula VI can be prepared in a manner known per se from 4-alkylamino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidines of the formula Vll or compounds of the formula V or VI can be prepared in a manner known per se from 4- hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine of the formula VIII which are commercially available or can easily be prepared by known processes, and the appropriate reagents mentioned above. The reaction is preferably carried out in an inert solvent. The solvents which can be employed are polar or nonpolar organic solvents, for example hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, esters, ethers, ketones, amides, nitriles, tertiary amines or sulfoxides; examples of suitable solvents are toluene, hexane, cyclohexane, ligroin, petroleum ether and other hydrocarbon mixtures, dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, chloroform, diethyl ether, dimethyl sulfoxide and acetonitrile; particular preference is given to acetonitrile. The temperature during the reaction can be in the range from -50 to 200°C, preferably from -25 to 160°C, in particular from -15 to 140°C. The temperature of the reaction mixture can be kept in the boiling range (reflux) for the duration of the reaction. To this end, a solvent-containing reaction mixture is warmed to the boiling point, generally under atmospheric pressure, and the evaporated solvent is condensed with the aid of a suitable condenser and fed back into the reaction mixture. The reaction can be carried out with exclusion of oxygen, for example by flushing with an inert gas such as argon; however, oxygen does not always interfere, so that it may also be possible to carry out the reaction without this measure. When the reaction is complete, work-up can be carried out by customary methods; the mixture is expediently first diluted with water, for example by adding the reaction mixture to from 1 to 4 times the volume of (ice) water; the product can subsequently be separated off directly or extracted, expediently using, for example, ethyl acetate or toluene. In the case of extraction, the product can be isolated in a conventional manner by removing the solvent; this is expediently carried out after drying of the organic phase. It is also possible to insert further purification steps, for example washing with aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, dispersion of activated charcoal, chromatography by means of silica gel, filtration, recrystallization and/or distillation. The homopolymers and copolymers of compounds of the formula I, for example of those of the formula II or III, are prepared by free-radical polymerization. The free-radical polymerization can be carried out using various methods. These are described, for example by S. Sandier and W. Karo in Polymer Synthesis, Vol. 1-3, Academic Press, New York 1968. Examples of conventional polymerization processes are bulk, solvent, emulsion, suspension and precipitation polymerization. The polymerization is generally initiated by a conventional free-radical polymerization initiator. These include thermal initiators, such as azo compounds, for example azoisobutyronitrile (AIBN), peroxides, for example benzoyl peroxide, redox initiator systems, such as a mixture of iron (111) acetylacetonate, benzoin and benzoyl peroxide, and photochemical free-radical formers, such as benzoin or benzil methyl ketal. The initiator is expediently added to the reaction solution in an amount of from 0.1 to 5 mol%, preferably from 0.5 to 3 mol%, based on the amount of ethylenically unsaturated monomers. In order to control the molecular weight, chain transfer compounds can be added, for example in amounts of from 5 to 20 mol%. Examples of such compounds are disulfides, mercaptans, halides, dibutyl sulfide, and others. The polymerization is preferably carried out in solution. The reaction temperature is generally in the range from 10 to 200°C, preferably from 30 to 150°C, particularly preferably from 40 to 100°C. Any solvent present must be inert under the reaction conditions. Suitable solvents include aromatic hydrocarbons, ketones and ethers. Examples thereof are benzene, toluene, xylene ethylbenzene, isopropylbenzene, methyl ethyl ketone, acetone, cyclohexanone, diethyl ether, dibutyl ether, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane. Particular preference is given to toluene and tetrahydrofuran. The polymerization is expediently carried out in the absence of oxygen, for example under argon or under nitrogen. The compounds of the formula I and novel homopolymers and copolymers thereof are particularly suitable for stabilizing organic materials against thermal, oxidative or actinic degradation. Examples for those materials are: 1. Polymers of monoolefins and diolefins, for example polypropylene, polyisobutylene, polybut-1 -ene, poly-4-methylpent-1-ene, polyisoprene or polybutadiene, as well as polymers of cycloolefins, for instance of cyclopentene or norbornene, polyethylene (which optionally can be crosslinked), for example high density polyethylene (HDPE), high density and high molecular weight polyethylene (HDPE-HMW). high density and ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (HDPE-UHMW), medium density polyethylene (MDPE), low density polyethy¬ lene (LDPE), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), branched low density polyethylene (BLDPE). Polyolefins, i.e. the polymers of monoolefins exemplified in the preceding paragraph, prefe¬ rably polyethylene and polypropylene, can be prepared by different, and especially by the following, methods: a) radical polymerisation (normally under high pressure and at elevated temperature). b) catalytic polymerisation using a catalyst that normally contains one or more than one metal of groups IVb, Vb, Vlb or VIII of the Periodic Table. These metals usually have one or more than one ligand, typically oxides, halides, alcoholates, esters, ethers, amines, alkyls, alkenyls and/or aryls that may be either p- or s-coordinated. These metal complexes may be in the free form or fixed on substrates, typically on activated magnesium chloride, titanium(lll) chloride, alumina or silicon oxide. These catalysts may be soluble or insoluble in the polymerisation medium. The catalysts can be used by themselves in the polymerisation or further activators may be used, typically metal alkyls, metal hydrides, metal alkyl halides, metal alkyl oxides or me¬ tal alkyloxanes, said metals being elements of groups la, lla and/or Ilia of the Periodic Table. The activators may be modified conveniently with further ester, ether, amine or silyl ether groups. These catalyst systems are usually termed Phillips, Standard Oil Indiana, Ziegler (-Natta), TNZ (DuPont), metallocene or single site catalysts (SSC). 2.

The invention therefore furthermore relates to compositions comprising a) an organic material which is sensitive to oxidative, thermal and/or actinic degradation/build-up and b) at least one compound of the formula I and/or a homopolymer and/or copolymer thereof, and to the use of compounds of the formula I and/or homopolymers and/or copolymers thereof for stabilizing organic material against oxidative, thermal or actinic degradation/build-up. The invention also relates to a process for stabilizing organic material against thermal, oxidative and/or actinic degradation/build-up which comprises adding at least one compound of the formula I and/or a homopolymer and/or copolymer thereof to this material. Of particular interest is the use of compounds of the formula I as stabilizers in synthetic organic polymers and corresponding compositions. The organic materials to be protected are preferably natural, semisynthetic or preferably synthetic organic materials. Particular preference is given to synthetic organic polymers or mixtures of such polymers, in particular thermoplastic polymers, such as polyolefins, especially polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). Other particularly preferred organic materials are coating compositions. Coating compositions which can advantageously be stabilized in accordance with the invention are described, for example, in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 5th. Edn., Vol. A18, pp. 359-464, VCH Verlagsgesellschaft, Weinheim 1991. Other materials which can be stabilized by means of the novel compounds are photographic materials. These are taken to mean, in particular, those described in Research Disclosure 1990, 31429 (pages 474-480) for photographic reproduction and other reproduction methods. In general, the compounds of the formula I are added to the material to be stabilized in amounts of from 0.01 to 10%, preferably from 0.01 to 5%, in particular from 0.01 to 2%, based on the total weight of the stabilized composition. The novel compounds are particularly preferably used in amounts of from 0.05 to 1.5%, especially from 0.1 to 0.5%. The incorporation into the materials can be carried out, for example, by incorporating or applying the compounds of the formula I and, if desired, further additives by the usual methods in industry. If the materials are polymers, in particular synthetic polymers, the incorporation can be carried out before or during shaping or by applying the dissolved or dispersed compound to the polymer, if necessary with subsequent evaporation of the solvent. In the case of elastomers, these can also be stabilized as lattices. Another way of incorporating compounds of the formula I into polymers comprises adding them before, during or immediately after polymerization of the corresponding monomers or before crosslinking. The compounds of the formula I can be added as such, or alternatively in encapsulated form (for example in waxes, oils or polymers). In the case of addition before or during the polymerization, the compounds of the formula I can also act as regulators for the chain length of the polymers (chain terminators). The compounds of the formula I can also be added to the plastics to be stabilized in the form of a masterbatch which contains these compounds, for example, in a concentration of 2.5 to 25% by weight. The compounds of the formula I can expediently be incorporated by the following methods: as an emulsion or dispersion (for example to lattices or emulsion polymers), as a dry mix during mixing of additional components or polymer mixtures, by direct addition into the processing equipment (for example extruder, internal mixer, etc.), as a solution or melt. Novel polymer compositions can be used in various forms or converted into various products, for example as or into films, fibres, tapes, moulding compositions, profiles, or as binders for paints, adhesives or adhesive cements. ln addition to the compounds of the formula I or homopolymers and/or copolymers thereof, the novel compositions can contain, as additional component (c), one or more conventional additives, such as, for example, the following: 1.

The varnish is diluted to spray consistency with Solvesso*100 and sprayed onto a prepared aluminium sheet (coil coat, filler, silver-metallic base coat) and baked for 30 minutes at 130°C, giving a dry film thickness of 40-50 μm. The samples are then weathered in a UVCON ® weathering unit from Atlas Corp. (UVB-313 Lamps) with a cycle of 4 hours' UV irradiation at 60°C and 4 hours' condensation at 50°C. The samples are regularly assessed for cracks. The samples containing the novel stabilizer have high cracking resistance. Example 20: Stabilization of a photographic material 0.087 g of the yellow coupler of the formula is dissolved in 2.0 ml of a solution of the novel stabilizer from Example 6 in ethyl acetate (2.25 g/100 ml). 9.0 ml of a 2.3% aqueous gelatin solution which has been adjusted to a pH of 6.5 and 1.744 g/I of the wetting agent of the formula are added to 1.0 ml of this solution. 2 ml of a silver bromide emulsion having a silver content of 6.0 g/I and 1.0 ml of a 0.7% aqueous solution of the curing agent of the formula are added to 5.0 ml of the resultant coupler emulsion, and the mixture is cast onto a 13 x 18 cm resin-coated paper. After a curing time of 7 days, the samples are exposed to 125 lux-s behind a silver step wedge and subsequently processed by the Kodak Ektaprint 2* process. The yellow wedges obtained are irradiated with a total of 60 kJ/cm 2 behind a UV filter (Kodak 2C) in an Atlas Weather-O-Meter* using a 2500 W xenon lamp. A sample without stabilizer is processed in the same way as standard. The drop in colour density at the absorption maximum of the yellow dye that occurs on irradiation is measured using a Macbeth TR 924 A densitometer. The light stabilization effect is evident from the drop in colour density. The smaller the drop in density, the greater the light stabilization effectiveness. The novel stabilizer has a good light stabilization action. Example 21 : Stabilization of polypropylene tapes 1.0 g of the novel stabilizer from Example 9 together with 1 g of tris(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl)- phosphite, 0.5 g of pentaerythrityl tetrakis(3-[3',5'-di-tert-butyl-4'-hydroxyphenyl]propionate) and 1 g of calcium stearate are mixed with 1000 g of polypropylene powder (STATOILMF; melt flow index 4.0 g/10 min, measured at 230°C/2.16 kg) in a turbo mixer. The mixtures are extruded at 200-230°C to give pellets, which are converted into stretch tapes 2.5 mm wide and 50 μm thick with the aid of a pilot plant (Leonard; Sumirago/VA, Italy) under the following conditions: Extruder temperature: 210-230 c C Head temperature: 240-260°C Stretching ratio: 1 :6 Stretching temperature: 110°C The tapes produced in this way are exposed against a white background in a type 65 WR Weather-O-Meter* (Atlas Corp.) at a black panel temperature of 63°C in accordance with ASTM D 2565-85. After various exposure times, the residual tensile strength of the samples is measured. The measurements are used to calculate the exposure time Tso after which the tensile strength of the samples has halved. For comparative purposes, tapes are produced without novel stabilizer under otherwise identical conditions and are tested. The sample stabilized in accordance with the invention has excellent strength retention.
