Title: Polyamines partially substituted by piperidine-triazines

Description:
It is known that synthetic polymers undergo a progressive change in mechanical strength and variation in colour when they are exposed to sunlight or other sources of ultraviolet light in the presence of oxygen. 
     To retard the photooxidative degradation of synthetic polymers, it has been proposed to use various additives having photostabilizing properties, such as some derivatives of benzophenone and benzotriazole, nickel complexes, substituted benzoic acid esters, alkylidene malonates, cyanoacrylates, aromatic oxamides and sterically hindered amines. 
     Some triazine derivatives of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidylamine have shown effectiveness as light stabilizers. In particular, U.S. Pat. No. 4,108,829, U.S. Pat. No. 4,288,593 and BE No. 904,401 describe, for example, dialkylenetriamines which contain polyalkyl-4-piperidyl-triazine groups.

     The compounds of the formula (I) can be prepared by processes known per se, for example by reacting a chlorotriazine of the formula (VII) ##STR20## with R 1 , R 2  and R 3  being as defined above, with a polyamine of the formula (VIII)  with R 4  R 5 , R 7 , R 9 , R 10  and being as defined above, by operating as described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,108,829, the molar ratio of compound of the formula (VII):compound of the formula (VIII) being e.g. equal to 2:1 if n is zero, and e.g. 2:1 to 3:1 if n is 1. 
     Compounds of the formula (I) can be obtained in this way, in which R 6  is hydrogen and R 8  is hydrogen or a group of the formula (IV); from these compounds, the corresponding compounds with R 6  and R 8  other than H can be obtained e.g. successively by reaction with suitable alkylating or acylating reagents. 
     If R 6  and R 8  are C 1  -C 18  alkyl, C 5  -C 12  cycloalkyl, C 7  -C 9  phenylalkyl or a group of the formula (II), the compounds of the formula (I) can be obtained directly, for example by reacting a chlorotriazine of the formula (VII) with a polyamine of the formula (IX) ##STR21## in which R 4 , R 5 , R 7 , R 9 , R 10  and n are as defined before and R 6  and R 8  are as defined above. 
     If R 6  and R 8  are methyl, the compounds of the formula (I) are preferably prepared by reacting the corresponding unsubstituted compounds with formaldehyde and formic acid (Eschweiler-Clarke reaction) or with formaldehyde and hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst such as e.g. palladium or platinum. 
     In these reactions, the piperidine &gt;NH groups can also be methylated and, under suitable conditions, also the melamine &gt;NH groups which may be present. 
     The reactions of the chlorotriazines of the formula (VII) with the polyamines of the formula (VIII) or (IX) are preferably carried out in an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent, for example toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene or trimethylbenzene, operating at a temperature from e.g. -20° to 200° C., preferably from -10° to 180° C. The successive substitution reactions are preferably carried out by directly using the reaction mixture obtained in the first stage, but it is also possible to separate the intermediate compounds with R 6  and possibly R 8  being H, and using them in the successive alkylation or acylation reactions followed ultimately by possible purification using, if appropriate, a solvent other than that employed in the first stage. 
     The hydraulic acid eliminated in the various reactions is conveniently neutralized with an inorganic base, for example sodium or potassium hydroxide or carbonate, in a quantity at least equivalent to the acid eliminated. 
     The product obtained can optionally be a mixture of possible isomers which are obtainable in the partial substitution reaction of the polyamines of the formula (VIII) with the chlorotriazines of the formula (VII). 
     As mentioned at the outset, the compounds of the formula (I) are highly effective in improving the light stability, heat stability and oxidation stability of organic materials, in particular synthetic polymers and copolymers.

     (Antioxidant action in polypropylene plaques) 
     1 g of each of the compounds indicated in Table 1 and 1 g of calcium stearate are mixed in a slow mixer with 1.000 g of polypropylene powder of melt index =2 g/10 minutes (measured at 230° C. and 2.16 kg). 
     The mixtures are extruded twice at 200°-220° C. to give polymer granules which are then converted into plaques of 1 mm thickness (mould according to DIN 53,451) by compression-moulding for 3 minutes at 220° C. 
     The plates obtained are exposed in a forced-circulation air oven maintained at a temperature of 135° C. 
     These specimens are periodically checked by bending through 180°, in order to determine the time (in hours) required for the onset of embrittlement. 
     Plates prepared under the same conditions as indicated above, but without the addition of the stabilizers, are exposed for comparison. 
     The results obtained are shown in table 1.

     The mixtures are extruded at 200°-220° C. to give polymer granules which are then converted into fibres, using a pilot-type apparatus (Leonard, Sumirago (VA), Italy) and operating under the following conditions: 
     extruder temperature: 200°-230° C. 
     head temperature: 255°-260° C. 
     stretch ratio: 1:3.5 
     denier: 11 dtex per filament 
     The fibres thus produced are exposed, mounted on a white card, inamodel 65 WR Weather-O-Meter (ASTM G 26-77) at a black panel temperature of 63° C. 
     The residual tenacity is measured on samples, taken after various times of exposure to light, by means of a constant-speed tensometer; the exposure time in hours, needed to halve the initial tenacity is then calculated (T50). 
     Fibres prepared under the same conditions as indicated above, but without the addition of compounds according to the invention, are exposed for comparison.
