It is known to employ derivatives of sterically hindered phenols as stabilisers for plastics against thermooxidative degradation or degradation induced by light.
Many of these phenol derivatives exhibit the disadvantage that they discolour the organic polymer in an objectionable manner either when they are incorporated or under the action of light or on contact with industrial flue gases or even on contact with hot water, which greatly limits their applicability in industry. New compounds have now been found which, surprisingly, are not only outstandingly suitable for stabilising organic materials, particularly organic polymers, but, in the course thereof, also remain colourless under the aforementioned conditions and protect the organic material against discolouration. This means that the new compounds stabilise the organic material both against degradation and against discolouration. Furthermore they possess good light stabilising activity.
The organic or inorganic oxygen acids of the formula A-(OH).sub.p can be acids, the OH groups of which are linked to a carbon atom or to a hetero-atom of the radical A.

The reaction of the compounds of the formula XVIII with the compounds of the formula XIX is carried out by known methods for esterifying alcoholic hydroxyl groups; it can be carried out with or without the use of a solvent; a catalyst can be used additionally, as can a hydrogen halide acceptor. The choice of a solvent or of a catalyst and the choice of the reaction temperature depend on the particular reaction components used; the working up also depends on the reaction components. These methods of esterifying alcoholic hydroxy compounds with carboxylic acids and derivatives thereof are, in general, adequately known, as are the methods of isolating the esterified reaction products.
A suitable reactive derivative of the oxyacid is, in particular, the acid halide thereof XIXa

or, if A denotes a N-monosubstituted carbamic acid, the isocyanate thereof.
Depending on the structure of the esters, urethanes, amides or ureas formed, the latter can be accessible to further reactions in which further compounds which fall under the claim are formed. Such a sequence of reactions is occasionally advantageous, but the esters formed can also be directly prepared from alcohol or amine and the corresponding reactive acid derivative by one of the abovementioned general methods.

After evaporating the ether, lauric acid 3-(3,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2,2-dimethylpropyl ester is left as a residue and can be distilled. Boiling point 194.degree.-198.degree. C at 0.01 mm.
EXAMPLE 94 ##STR148##
8.75 g (0.03 mol) of 3-(3,5-di-tert.butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2,2-dimethylpropylamine and 3.2 g (0.03 mol) of triethylamine are initially introduced into 100 ml of absolute benzene. 9.7 g (0.03 mol) of 3-(3,5-di-tert.butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl-2,2-dimethylpropionyl chloride, dissolved in 20 ml of absolute benzene, are added dropwise at room temperature. The mixture is then boiled under reflux, while stirring, for 3 hours. The reaction mixture is cooled, the precipitate is filtered off and the solution is twice washed with water and then evaporated. The residue is recrystallised from acetonitrile. This gives 3-(3,5-di-tert.butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-propionic acid 3-(3,5di-tert.butyl- 4-hydroxyphenyl)-2,2-dimethylpropylamide of melting point 146.degree. C.

If, in Example 68, the dodecylmercaptan is replaced by thiophenol or morpholine, an otherwise identical procedure gives the 1-substituted 3,5-di-[3-(3,5-di-tert.butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2,2-dimethylpropylamino]-s-triazines having the melting points given in Table XIV.

10 g (0.023 mol) of 1,3-dichloro-5-[3-(3,5-di-tert.butyl- 4-hydroxyphenyl)-2,2-dimethylpropylamino]-s-triazine (the product of Example 63) and 9.3 g (0.046 mol) of dodecylmercaptan are initially introduced into 100 ml of acetone at room temperature. 1.84 g (0.046 mol) of sodium hydroxide, dissolved in 2 ml of water, are now added dropwise over the course of 3 minutes with stirring. The mixture is then stirred under reflux for a further 90 minutes, insoluble matter is filtered off and the filtrate is concentrated to dryness. The oil which remains can be completely purified through a silica gel column using toluene as the migrating agent. This gives 1,3-di-dodecylmercapto-5-[3-(3,5-di-tert.butyl- 4-hydroxyphenyl)-2,2-dimethylpropylamino]-s-triazine.
EXAMPLE 99 ##STR153##
5.8 g (0.02 mole) of 3-(3,5-di-tert.butyl-4hydroxyphenyl)-2,2-dimethylpropylamine and 2.02 g (0.02 mol) of triethylamine are initially introduced into 25 ml of absolute toluene. 7 g (0.0215 mol) of 3-(3,5-di-tert.butyl- 4-hydroxyphenyl)-2,2-dimethylpropionic acid chloride, dissolved in 50 ml of absolute toluene, are added dropwise over the course of 10 minutes at room temperature. The mixture is then refluxed for 3 hours while stirring. The reaction mixture is then cooled, the precipitate which has formed is filtered off and the filtrate is concentrated completely. The residue is recrystallised, first from ligroin and then from acetonitrile. The resulting 3-(3,5-di-tert.butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2,2-dimethylpropionic acid [3-(3,5-di-tert.butyl)-4-hydroxphenyl)-2,2-dimethylpropyl]-amide melts at 144.degree.--146.degree. C.

C. 0.6 g (0.026 mol) of lithium amide are then added. The external temperature is now raised and is kept at 130.degree. C for 3 hours, during which time ethanol distils off.

The internal temperature is then raised: 130.degree. C for 2 hours, 140.degree. C for 11/2 hours and 145.degree.-150.degree. C for 30 minutes. In the course thereof 4.2 g of ethanol distil off and a white precipitate is formed. On cooling, the reaction mixture crystallises out. It is recrystallised, first from hexane and then from acetonitrile. The 4-ethyl-4-methyl-1-[2,2-dimethyl-3-(3,5-di-tert.butyl-4-hydroxphenyl)-propoxy]- 2,6-dioxa-phosphorane obtained in this way melts at 100.degree.-101.degree. C.

100 parts of polypropylene powder [melt index 20 (230.degree. C, 2,160 g)] are mixed in a Brabender kneader at 200.degree. C with 0.2 parts of an additive of the table which follows.
The homogenised mixture is withdrawn from the kneader and is pre-pressed into sheets -3 mm thick by means of a toggle press. The sheets are then processed in a sheet press at 260.degree. C, first to give a thickness of 0.3 mm, and, in a subsequent operation, to give films 0.1 mm thick.
While avoiding cooling below 150.degree. C, the films thus produced are heat-treated for 1 hour at 150.degree. C and are chilled in water at 15.degree. C directly afterwards. The films produced in this way have a homogeneous structure of fine spherulites. Punched-out test samples have an elongation of 800%.
The films are mounted on sample carriers and are exposed in the Xenotest 150 exposure apparatus. Pieces of film are withdrawn after varying times and each group of 5 test pieces is punched in the form of a tensile test bar and the residual elongation thereof is determined. The exposure time after which the elongation at break of the films has fallen to 50% of its value before exposure is taken as a measure of the protective action of the additives. The values obtained are listed in Table XXI:

Protection of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) from yellowing
0.5 part of stabiliser 1 are dissolved, together with 25 parts of PAN, in 75 parts of dimethylformamide (DMF) at 70.degree. C for 4 hours. In a visual comparison, the stabilised solution already displays a markedly lighter colour than a solution free from additive. Films approx. 500 .mu. thick are drawn on a sheet of glass from these solutions and are dried for 10 minutes at 125.degree. C.
A visual assessment of the degree of yellowing of the dried films is carried out on a white background with the following results:

16 g of 2,2-dimethyl-3-(4-hydroxy-3,5-di-t.butylphenyl)-n-propylisocyanate, which can be prepared by known methods by reacting the corresponding amine with phosgene, are dissolved in 150 ml of ligroin and are reacted with 14.6 g of 2,2-dimethyl-3-(4-hydroxy-3,5-di-t.butylphenyl)-n-propylamine, dissolved in 150 ml of ligroin. After a few minutes, N,N'-di-[2,2-dimethyl-3-(4-hydroxy-3,5-di-t.butylphenyl)-n-propyl]-urea begins to precipitate. The reaction is completed by heating the suspension under reflux for one hour, the reaction mixture is cooled and the urea is then isolated and washed with ligroin. The melting point is 270.degree.
