The conventional additives are added for example at concentrations of 0.01 to 10% based on the total weight of the material to be stabilised.
The products and, if desired, other additives, can be incorporated into the organic material by known methods. They can be incorporated in the materials for example by admixing or applying the products and, if desired, other additives by the methods conventionally used in the art. If the materials are polymers, in particular synthetic polymers, the products can be incorporated before or during shaping or by applying the dissolved or dispersed products to the polymer, with or without subsequent evaporation of the solvent. In the case of elastomers, the latter can also be stabilised in the form of the latices. A further possibility of incorporating the products according to the invention into polymers is the addition of the former before, during or immediately after polymerisation of the monomers in question, or before crosslinking. The products according to the invention can be added as they are, but also in encapsulated form (for example in waxes, oils or polymers). If they are added before or during polymerisation, the products according to the invention can also act as chain length regulators for the polymers (chain terminators). The products according to the invention can also be added to the materials to be stabilised in the form of a masterbatch comprising, for example, a concentration of 2.5 to 25% by weight of the product according to the invention.
The materials which have been stabilised in this manner can be used in a multitude of ways, for example in the form of films, fibres, tapes, moulding materials, sections or as binders for varnishes, adhesives or cements.
The invention furthermore relates to compositions comprising a functional fluid, preferably from the series of the lubricants, the hydraulic fluids and the metal-working fluids as well as fuels for driving engines of the 4-stroke Otto, 2-stroke, diesel, Wankel as well as the orbital type, and at least one product obtainable by reacting components a), b) and c).
Particularly preferred as lubricants are the mineral oils, the synthetic oils or mixtures of these.
The products known per se are used as functional fluids from the series of the lubricants, the hydraulic fluids and the metal-working fluids.
The lubricants and hydraulic fluids which are suitable are known to those skilled in the art and described, for example, in Dieter Klamann "Schmierstoffe und verwandte Produkte" �Lubricants and Related Products!, Verlag Chemie, Weinheim, 1982, in Schewe-Kobek, "Das Schmiermittel-Taschenbuch" �Lubricants Guide!, Dr. Alfred Huthig-Verlag, Heidelberg, 1974, or in "Ullmanns Encyclopadie der technischen Chemie" �Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry!, Volume 13, pages 85-94 (Verlag Chemie, Weinheim, 1977).
Examples are lubricants and hydraulic fluids based on mineral oil or synthetic lubricants or hydraulic fluids, in particular those which are derivatives of carboxylic esters and which are used at temperatures of 200.degree. C. and above.
Examples of synthetic lubricants embrace lubricants based on a diester of a dibasic acid with a monovalent alcohol, for example dioctyl sebacate or dinonyl adipate, a triester of trimethylolpropane with a monobasic acid or a mixture of such acids, for example trimethylolpropane tripelargonate, trimethylolpropane tricaprylate or mixtures of these, a tetraester of pentaerythritol with a monobasic acid or with a mixture of such acids, for example pentaerythritol tetracaprylate, or a complex ester of monobasic and dibasic acids with polyhydric alcohols, for example a complex ester of trimethylolpropane with caprylic and sebacic acid or a mixture of these.
Particularly suitable are, besides mineral oils, for example poly-.alpha.-olefins, lubricants based on esters, or phosphates, glycols, polyglycols and polyalkylene glycols, and mixtures of these with water.
The products according to the invention are oils and readily soluble in lubricants and therefore particularly suitable as additives to lubricants, and mention must be made of their surprisingly good antioxidative and anticorrosive action.
The products according to the invention can display their surprising properties for example in lubricants for combustion engines, for example in combustion engines operating by the Otto principle. The products according to the invention prevent the formation of deposits (sludge), or reduce these deposits to a surprising extent.
So-called masterbatches can also be prepared.
The products according to the invention are active as additives in lubricants even when used in very small amounts. They are admixed to the lubricants advantageously in an amount of 0.01 to 5% by weight, preferably in an amount of 0.05 to 3% by weight and particularly preferably in an amount of 0.1 to 2% by weight, in each case based on the lubricant.
The lubricants can additionally comprise other additives which are added to improve the basic properties of lubricants even further; these include: antioxidants, metal passivators, rust inhibitors, viscosity index improvers, pour-point depressers, dispersants, detergents, high-pressure additives, antifriction additives and antiwear additives.

Deposit and Oxidation Panel Test (DOPT)
The deposit and oxidation panel test (DOPT) is a variant of a test method for engine oils, in particular diesel engine oils, which has been described by G. Abellaneda et al. IIIe Symposium CEC, 1989, 61, New Cavendish Street, London WIM 8AR, England. The suitability of the oils with stabiliser for preventing deposits on the pistons is tested.
The test time is 20 hours, the panel temperature 260.degree. C. and the oil flex 1 ml/minutes. The humid atmospheric environment is enriched with 260 ppm of NO.sub.2 and 26 ppm of SO.sub.2. After the test, the metal panel onto which the oil drops, is weighed and assessed visually. The lower the numbers, the better. The lubricating oil used is a commercial CD oil which is diluted with the basic oil STANCO 150. The stabilisers shown in Table 1 are now admixed to this prepared oil in amounts of 0.6% by weight based on the oil, and this is subjected to a DOPT test.
