Polymeric polyalkyl-1-oxa-diazaspirodecanes

The invention relates to novel polyalkyl-1-oxa-diazaspirodecanes and their use as light stabilizers for the stabilization of organic polymers against photooxidation.
High molecular weight polyalkylpiperidine stabilizers are known, for instance the condensation product of N-.beta.-hydroxyethyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-hydroxypiperidine with succinic acid (cf.

The monomers (VI) for the -preparation of the novel compounds are obtained by nucleophilic substitution of the halogen atom in the epihalohydrin of the formula V, Hal being understood to mean a chlorine, bromine or iodine atom, preferably chlorine, by polyalkyloxadiazaspirodecanes of the formula IV or salts thereof with protonic acids according to the following reaction scheme with the elimination of hydrogen halide. Heating of the oxirane then leads to the formation of the oligomers and polymers according to the invention of the formula I ##STR10##
In the formulae of the reaction scheme, the radicals R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6, Y, Hal and n have the meanings given above: the radical R.sup.1 is hydrogen and the radical R.sup.7 is likewise hydrogen or, in the terminal monomer unit, has no meaning so that the oxygen atom forms an oxirane ring with the terminal CH.sub.2 group.
The compounds VI are synthesized by reacting the starting materials (IV) and (V) in the molar ratio of 1:1 to 1:5, preferably 1:1 to 1:2, and particularly 1:1 to 1:1.2, in an inert organic solvent in the presence of an equal to twenty-fold molar amount of solid alkali metal hydroxide or the corresponding amount of a 20 to 50% strength aqueous solution thereof, with the use of a phase transfer catalyst. The reaction temperature is from 20 to 120, preferably 20 to 80 and in particular 40.degree. to 60.degree. C.
Suitable organic solvents are aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons such as, for example, petroleum ether, hexane, heptane, naphtha fractions, toluene, cyclohexane, xylene etc.
Phase transfer catalysts are understood to mean substances from the group comprising quaternary ammonium and phosphonium halides. Also very suitable are polyethylene glycols and dialkyl ethers of polyethylene glycols. The amount required is 0.1 to 5% by weight, relative to compound (IV).
Generally, the reaction is complete after one to 20 hours.
The compounds VI are isolated by separating the phases, optionally after adding a little water. The organic phase is washed several times with water, dried over a desiccant such as Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4 or MgSO.sub.4 and concentrated. This usually gives oily products.
Heating the epoxides which have been obtained in this manner to 100 to 240, preferably 100 to 200 and in particular 120.degree. to 180.degree. C., gives solid, amorphous, initially glassy polymers for which 2.ltoreq.n.ltoreq.50. Short polymerization periods give low degrees of polymerization and long polymerization periods give high degrees of polymerization. Similarly, a tendency towards higher degrees of polymerization is observed with increasing temperature.
The polymers or oligomers can also prepared by not initially isolating the epoxides but by bringing the entire reaction mixture, after reacting the epichlorohydrin with the azaspirodecane, to the abovementioned higher temperatures and, after polymerization is complete, working up the reaction mixture.
After polymerization, the terminal secondary amine function of the polymer can, if desired, be converted by methods known per s to give derivatives.
The polyalkyloxadiazaspirodecanes used as starting materials are known and can be obtained according to the directions given in U.S. Pat. No. 4,110,334 and U.S. Pat. No.4,107,139.

The various additional additives from the abovementioned groups 1 to 6 are added to the polymers which are to be stabilized in an amount from 0.1 to 10, preferably 0.01 to 5% by weight, relative to the total weight of the molding composition. The proportion of the additives from groups 7 and 8 is 1 to 80, preferably 10 to 50% by weight, relative to the total molding composition.
The organic polymers which have been stabilized according to the invention can be used in various forms, for example as films, fibers, tapes, profiles or as binders for paints, adhesives or putties. The prior art polymeric stabilizers have the deficiency that they do not satisfy the industrial requirements in all of the important use parameters, which include not only efficiency but also volatility, migration resistance (equivalent to low leachability) and thermal stability. In contrast, the novel stabilizers according to the invention eminently satisfy these requirements. They are very effective stabilizers and are substantially free from disadvantages which are based on physical properties.

The subject-matter of the invention is further explained with the aid of the examples which follow.
EXAMPLE 1
2,2,7,7,9,9-Hexamethyl-1-oxa-3-(2,3-
-epoxypropyl)-3,8-diaza-4-oxo-spiro-[4.5]
-decane and the oligomer obtained therefrom
To 150 cm.sup.3 of toluene were added, in succession, 24.0 g (0.1 mol) of 2,2,7,7,9,9-hexamethyl-1-oxa-3,8-diaza -4-oxo-spiro-[4.5]-decane, 18.5 g (0.2 mol) of epichlorohydrin, 5 drops of tricaprylmethylammonium chloride ((R)Aliquat 336 from Fluka) and 40 g of 50% strength sodium hydroxide solution (=0.5 mol of NaOH), and then the reaction mixture was stirred at 65.degree. C. for 16 hours. After the stirrer had been switched off, two clear phases formed, which were separated. The organic phase was washed three times with 50 c.sup.3 of water, dried over 50 g of sodium sulfate, stirred for 30 min with 1 g of active charcoal at room temperature and filtered. The volatile components were eliminated in vacuo. This gave a colorless oil, which is the epoxy compound given in the heading. This compound was heated at 170.degree. C. for three hours and polymerized under these conditions to give a solid, colorless resin having an m.p. of 130.degree. to 184.degree. C. The viscosity number (determined in accordance with DIN 53 728 at 25.degree. C. from a 1% by weight solution in toluene) was 0.03.

From this film, test pieces of dimensions 50.times.35 mm were prepared and these were exposed, under the same conditions as described in Example 17, to irradiation on revolving specimen holders. The light stability was determined by measuring the change in the carbonyl number ##EQU1## of the exposed samples using an infrared spectrograph in accordance with DIN 53 383/2. A pronounced increase in the carbonyl number indicates relatively high susceptibility to oxidation in the polypropylene and, accordingly, lower stability.
