Abstract
Novel derivatives of 4-amino-2,6-dimethylpiperidine have additional methyl or substituted-methyl substituents at positions 2 and 6, and a carboxylate ester substituent at position 4. Positions 1 and 3, and the amino group at position 4, can optionally also be substituted. These derivatives are useful for stabilizing synthetic polymers, especially polyolefins, polyamides and polyurethanes, against photo- and thermal-deterioration, generally in an amount of 0.01 - 5.0% by weight based on the polymer.
Description

Examples of the acid-addition salts provided by the invention include the oxalate and p-t-butylbenzoate of compound No. 2 in the above list, and the p-toluenesulfonate of compound No. 43 in the above list. Such acid-addition salts can be prepared from the corresponding pyridine derivatives of formula (I) by the conventional known techniques of salification.
The piperidine derivatives of formula (I) can be prepared as summarized in the following reaction scheme (wherein R, X, Y, Z and n have the meanings previously defined: ##STR14## The reaction steps shown in the scheme can be carried out by the following methods:
1. Compounds of formula (III) are prepared by treating ketones of formula (II) with ammonia in an alcohol, over a prolonged period of time, by the method described in Berichte 41, 777 (1908).
2. Compounds of formula (IV) are prepared by reacting compounds of formula (III) with an alkali metal cyanide and ammonium carbonate.
3. Compounds of formula (V) are prepared by hydrolyzing compounds of formula (IV), by the method described in Bull. Soc. Chim. Fr. 1967, 815.
4. Compounds of formula (I) are prepared by introducing the substituent Y and, for meanings of X and Z other than hydrogen, also the substituents X and Z into the compounds of formula (V). The order in which these substituents are introduced is chosen, in accordance with the nature of the substituents, so that the reactions involved have no adverse effect on other parts of the molecule.
(A) The substituent X on the nitrogen atom of the piperidine nucleus can be introduced by means of the following methods:
(a) Compounds wherein X is alkyl, alkenyl, 2-propynyl, alkoxyalkyl, cyanoalkyl, aliphatic acyl, 2,3-epoxypropyl, aralkyl optionally substituted in its aryl moiety, --CH.sub.2 CH(R.sup.1)OR.sup.2, --CH.sub.2 COOR.sup.3 or --COOR.sup.4, all as defined for formula (I), can be prepared by using a halide of the desired substituent.
(b) Compounds wherein X is oxyl can be prepared by using a peroxide such as m-chloroperbenzoic acid or hydrogen peroxide.
(c) Compounds wherein the substituent X is --CH.sub.2 CH(R.sup.1)OH, as previously defined, can also be prepared by using ethylene oxide, propylene oxide or styrene oxide; and the products can optionally be acylated to obtain the corresponding acylated derivatives wherein X is --CH.sub.2 CH(R.sup.1)OR.sup.2.
(d) Compounds wherein X is methyl are preferably prepared by the Leuckart-Wallach reaction, using formic acid and formaldehyde.
(e) Compounds wherein X is cyanomethyl are preferably prepared by reaction with formaldehyde and acetone cyanhydrin.
(B) Introduction of the substituent Y on the carboxyl group can be carried out by means of the conventional esterification reactions which are known per se.
(C) Introduction of the substituent Z on the amino group can be carried out by the following methods:
(a) Compounds wherein Z is alkyl, alkenyl, aliphatic acyl, aromatic, acyl, cinnamoyl, 3-(3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxephenyl)propionyl, phenylacetyl, phenoxyacetyl, cyclohexanecarbonyl, aralkyl optionally substituted in its aryl moiety, --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 OR.sup.5, --SO.sub.2 R.sup.6, --COOR.sup.7, alkylene, 2-butenylene, p-xylylene, carbonyl, sulfinyl, sulfonyl, oxalyl, --CO--R.sup.11 --CO--, ##STR15## all as defined for formula (I), can be prepared by using the halide of the desired substituent.
(b) Compounds wherein Z is --CONR.sup.8 R.sup.9 or --CONH--R.sup.12 --NHCO--, as previously defined, can be prepared by reaction with the corresponding isocyanates.
(c) Compounds wherein Z is --CSNHR.sup.10, as previously defined, can be prepared by reaction with the corresponding isothiocyanates.
5. When the substituent X is a group unaffected by hydrolysis, such as alkyl or aralkyl, the compounds of formula (I) can alternatively be prepared by first introducing the substituent X on the nitrogen atom of the piperidine nucleus of compounds of formula (III), forming the corresponding spiro-hydantoin derivative by the method described in paragraph 2 above, hydrolyzing the spyro-hydantoin by the method described in paragraph 3 above, and then introducing the substituents Y and Z by the above-mentioned methods. As a yet further alternative, the substituent X can be introduced on the nitrogen atom of the spyro-hydantoin derivative (IV), which is then subjected to hydrolysis in the above-described manner, and finally the substituents Y and Z are introduced.
Piperidine derivatives of formula (I) prepared by any of these methods can optionally be salified by the conventional techniques known per se, in order to obtain the aforementioned acid-addition salts.

The amount of the stabilizers of the invention needed for effective stabilization of organic polymers will depend on a variety of factors, such as the type and properties of the polymer concerned, its intended use, and the presence of other stabilizers. It is generally satisfactory to use from 0.01% to 5% by weight of the stabilizers of the invention, based on the weight of the polymer, but the most effective range will vary with the type of polymer: viz. 0.01% to 2.0%, preferably 0.02% to 1.0%, by weight for olefin, diene and styrene polymers; 0.01% to 1.0%, preferably 0.02% to 0.5%, by weight for vinyl and vinylidene polymers; and 0.01% to 5.0%, preferably 0.02% to 2.0%, by weight for polyurethanes and polyamides. If desired, two or more of the stabilizers of the invention may be used together.
The stabilizers of the invention may readily be incorporated into organic polymers by conventional techniques at any convenient stage prior to the manufacture of shaped articles therefrom. For example, the stabilizer may be mixed with the polymer in dry powder form, or a suspension of emulsion of the stabilizer may be mixed with a solution, suspension or emulsion of the polymer.
The stabilized polymeric compositions of the invention may optionally also contain one or more of various additives conventionally used in polymer technology, such as the additives listed in British patent specification No. 1 401 924, at pages 11-13.
The invention is further illustrated by the following non-limiting Examples, in which all parts and percentages are by weight.
