DE-A 33 04 266 (1) relates to piperidine derivatives of the formula II ##STR13## where R.sup.8 to R.sup.12 are each hydrogen or hydrocarbon radicals, and X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 are each oxygen- or nitrogen-containing bridges. The compounds II are recommended as stabilizers for polymers.
Organic material, especially plastics and coating compositions, are, as is known, very rapidly damaged especially by the action of light. This damage is normally evident from the material becoming discolored, fissured or brittle. The UV absorbers and stabilizers used to date have not provided satisfactory protection against damage to organic materials by light, oxygen and heat.
It is an object of the present invention to prepare UV absorbers and stabilizers which provide effective protection for organic material.
We have found that this object is achieved by the polyalkylpiperidine derivatives I defined above.

Of these, methyl, acetyl, cyanomethyl, .beta.-aminoethyl and, in particular, hydrogen are particularly preferred.

The novel polyalkylpiperidine derivatives where R.sup.2 is a radical of the formula (a) can be prepared advantageously by conventional reactions of amines of the formula III or IIIa ##STR27## with sodium dicyanamide. Reactions of this type are described, for example, in J. Chem. Soc. (1948) 1630-1636 (2). The amines III and IIIa are disclosed, for example, in EP-A 316 582 (3).
The reaction can be carried out in water and in organic solvents, preferably alcohols, especially n-butanol, or in mixtures thereof. The reaction is normally carried out in an acid medium, preferably in hydrochloric acid, at from about 60.degree. to about 150.degree. C.
Depending on the substituents and solvents, the compounds Ia can also be tautomerized to some extent, in accordance with the following equilibrium: ##STR28##
Analogous tautomeric forms are also possible for the polyalkylpiperidine derivatives where R.sup.2 is a radical of the formula (b).
The novel biguanide derivatives of the formula Ib can be prepared advantageously by conventional reactions from the cyanoquanidines Ia ##STR29## and amines of the formula HNR.sup.4 R.sup.5. Reactions of this type are described, for example, in the review article entitled The Chemistry of Biguanides in Fortschr. Chem. Forsch. 10 (1968) 375-472 (4).
The reaction can be carried out in water and in organic solvents, preferably alcohols, especially methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, iso-propanol, n-butanol and iso-butanol, or in mixtures thereof. It is normally carried out in an acid medium, preferably in hydrochloric acid, at from about 60.degree. to about 150.degree. C.
The novel polyalkylpiperidine derivatives where R.sup.2 is a radical of the formula (c) can be prepared advantageously by the reactions disclosed in (4) of biguanides Ib ##STR30## and carboxylic acids or derivatives thereof of the formula R.sup.6 --COX, R.sup.6 --CN, XOC--A--COX, NC--A--COX or NC--A--CN where X is hydroxyl, chlorine, bromine or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy.

Possible organic solvents are alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, i-propanol, n-butanol, ethylene glycol or i-butanol. However, ethers are also suitable, e.g. glycol monobutyl ether, glycol dimethyl ether and glycol dibutyl ether. It is likewise possible to use aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene or mesitylene. It is often advantageous to use one reactant as solvent if it is a liquid, for example the carboxylic esters such as ethyl acetate, methyl propionate or dimethyl adipate, or carboxylic acids such as formic acid.

The reaction is normally carried out at from about 60.degree. to about 150.degree. C.

All conventional apparatus and methods for mixing stabilizers or other additives with polymers can be used for mixing the novel compounds Ia or Ic with, in particular, plastics.
Organic material stabilized with the novel compounds Ia and Ic can also contain further additives, e.g. antioxidants, light stabilizers, metal inactivators, antistatic agents, flameproofing agents, pigments and fillers.
Antioxidants and light stabilizers, which can be added besides the novel compounds, are, for example, compounds based on sterically hindered phenols or sulfur- or phosphorus-containing co-stabilizers.

Examples of sulfur-containing antioxidants are dilauryl thiodipropionate, dimyristyl thiodipropionate, distearyl thiodipropionate, pentaerythritol tetrakis(.beta.-laurylthiopropionate) and pentaerythritol tetrakis(.beta.-hexylthiopropionate).
Examples of other antioxidants and light stabilizers which can be used together with the novel compounds are 2--(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzotriazoles, 2-hydroxybenzophenones, aryl hydroxybenzoates, .alpha.-cyanocinnamic acid derivatives, benzimidazolecarboxanilides, nickel compounds or oxanilides.
Examples of plastics which can be stabilized by the novel compounds Ia and Ic are:
polymers of mono- and diolefins such as low or high density polyethylene, polypropylene, linear poly-1-butene, polyisoprene, polybutadiene and copolymers of mono- or diolefins or mixtures of the said polymers;
copolymers of mono- or diolefins with other vinyl monomers such as ethylene/alkyl acrylate copolymers, ethylene/alkyl methacrylate copolymers, ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymers or ethylene/acrylic acid copolymers; polystyrenes;
copolymers of styrene or .alpha.-methylstyrene with dienes and/or acrylic derivatives such as styrene/butadiene, styrene/acrylonitrile (SAN), styrene/ethyl methacrylate, styrene/butadiene/ethyl acrylate, styrene/acrylonitrile/methacrylate, acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene (ABS) or methyl methacrylate/butadiene/styrene (MBS);
halogenated polymers such as polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl fluoride, polyvinylidene fluoride and copolymers thereof;
polymers derived from .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated acids and derivatives thereof such as polyacrylates, polymethacrylates, polyacrylamides and polyacrylonitriles;
polymers derived from unsaturated alcohols and amines or from acrylic derivatives or acetals thereof, e.g. polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate;
polyurethanes, polyamides, polyureas, polyesters, polycarbonates, polysulfones, polyether-sulfones and polyether-ketones.
The novel compounds Ia and Ic can also be used to stabilize surface coatings, e.g. industrial coatings, particularly baking finishes and especially automotive coatings, preferably two-layer coatings.
The novel compounds Ia and Ic can be added to the coating composition in solid or dissolved form. It is particularly advantageous that they are readily soluble in coating systems.
The novel compounds Ia and Ic are preferably used for stabilizing polyamides and ABS and SAN polymers, especially molding compositions.
Another preferred area of use is the stabilization of polypropylene and polyamide, especially fibers thereof.
The novel compounds Ia and Ic are very compatible with conventional types of plastics and are readily soluble in conventional coating systems. Their intrinsic color is usually non-existent or negligible, they are stable and involatile at the temperatures conventionally used for processing plastics and surface coatings, and in particular they protect the materials treated with them for a long time.
