Claim:
A compound of formula 1, 2 or 3 where G 1 , G 2 , G 3 , and G 4 are independently alkyl of 1 to 8 carbon atoms, or G 1 and G 2 together are pentamethylene, or G 3 and G 4 together are pentamethylene; E 5 is OE 9 or —O—E—(OH) b ; E 9 is straight or branched chain alkyl of 1 to 24 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl of 5 to 12 carbon atoms, straight or branched chain alkenyl of 3 to 24 carbon atoms, cycloalkenyl of 5 to 12 carbon atoms, phenylalkyl of 7 to 15 carbon atoms, a radical of a saturated or unsaturated bicyclic or tricyclic hydrocarbon of 7 to 15 carbon atoms, aryl of 6 to 10 carbon atoms or said aryl substituted by one to three alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms; or a group of formula IV E 11 to E 15 are independently hydrogen, halogen, nitro, cyano, alkyl of 1 to 18 carbon atoms, phenylalkyl of 7 to 15 carbon atoms, aryl of 6 to 10 carbon atoms, hydroxyl, carboxyl, alkylthio of 1 to 18 carbon atoms, alkoxy or 1 to 18 carbon atoms, phenylalkoxy of 7 to 15 carbon atoms, aryloxy of 6 to 10 carbon atoms, alkylcarbonyloxy of 2 to 18 carbon atoms, alkylsulfonyl of 1 to 18 carbon atoms, arylsulfonyl of 6 to 15 carbon atoms, sulfo or phosphono, or any two vicinal substituents connected together to form a mono- or polycyclic ring; E is a straight or branched chain alkylene of 1 to 18 carbon atoms, cycloalkylene of 5 to 18 carbon atoms, cycloalkenylene of 5 to 18 carbon atoms, a straight or branched chain alkylene of 1 to 4 carbon atoms substituted by phenyl or by phenyl substituted by one or two alkyl groups of 1 to 4 carbon atoms; b is 1, 2 or 3 with the proviso that b cannot exceed the number of carbon atoms in E, and when b is 2 or 3, each hydroxyl group is attached to a different carbon atom of E; R 2 is T 1 , —CO—T 1 , —CO—X—T 1 , —(CH 2 ) m —CO—X—T 1 , (CH 2 ) p —X—CO—T 1 , —CO—(CH 2 ) m —CO—X—T 1 , or —CO—(CH 2 ) p —X—CO—T 1 ; m is 1 to 12; p is 1 to 12; T 1 is a mixture of straight or branched chain alkyl of 20 to 40 carbon atoms, or said alkyls substituted by one hydroxyl group and interrupted by one oxa moiety; or T 1 is —(R—O) n —R—OG 5 where R is ethylene, propylene, trimethylene, 1,2-butylene or tetramethylene, and n is 4 to 49 so that the total number of carbon atoms in T 1 is at least 20; G 5 is hydrogen, straight or branched chain alkyl of 1 to 24 carbon atoms, straight of branched chain alkenyl of 2 to 18 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl of 5 to 12 carbon atoms, phenylalkyl of 7 to 15 carbon atoms, phenyl, or said phenyl or said phenylalkyl substituted on the phenyl ring by 1 to 4 alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms; X and X 1 are independently —O—, or —N—(R 4 )—; R 4 is hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 18 carbon atoms or acyl of 2 to 6 carbon atoms; and R 6 is T 1 , —X—T 1 , —(CH 2 ) m —CO—X—T 1 , —(CH 2 ) p —X—CO—T 1 , X—(CH 2 ) m —CO—X 1 —T 1 , or X—(CH 2 ) p —X 1 —CO—T 1 ; with the proviso that at least one of R 2 or R 6 is a group which contains a T 1 moiety.
