Claim:
A 4-cycloalkyl- or 4-aryl-substituted aniline ether of the formula (VIII) in which R 4 and R 5 independently of one another are selected from the group consisting of —X, —CN, —SH, —SR″, —OR″, —(C═O)—R″, straight-chain, branched C 1-12 -alkyl, C 2-12 -alkenyl, C 2 - 12 -alkynyl groups, cyclic C 3-8 -alkyl, C 4-8 -alkenyl, C 4-8 -alkynyl groups or C 5-18 -aryl, C 7-19 -aralkyl and C 7-19 -alkaryl groups, where in the ring system of all of the cyclic groups mentioned above one or more carbon atoms may be replaced by heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of N, O, P and S and all of the groups mentioned above may be substituted by one or more groups selected from the group consisting of —R′, —X, —OR′, —SR′, —NR′ 2 , —SiR′ 3 , —COOR′, —CN and —CONR′ 2 , where R′ represents hydrogen or a C 1-12- alkyl group, which may be substituted by one or more heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of N, O, P and S, and R″ represents a C 1-12 -alkyl group, where in the ring system of all of the cyclic groups mentioned above one or more carbon atoms may be replaced by heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of N, O, P and S; R 6 is selected from the group consisting of halogen atoms and C 1-6 -haloalkyl groups; R 7 is selected from the group consisting of alicyclic C 3-12 -alkyl, C 4-12 -alkenyl, C 4-12 -alkynyl groups and C 5-18 -aryl, C 7-19 -aralkyl and C 7-19 -alkaryl groups, which may be substituted by one or more groups selected from the group consisting of —R′, —X, —OR′, —SO 2 —R′, —SR′, —NR′ 2 , —SiR′ 3 , —COOR′, —CN and —CONR′ 2 , where R′ has the above meanings and where the C 5-18 -aryl, C 7-19 -aralkyl and C 7-19 -alkaryl groups may be substituted by one or more heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of N, O, P and S; wherein X is chlorine, bromine, fluorine, or iodine, and their salts.
