Abstract
Abstract Stabilizers for organic polymers are disclosed, of the type of sterically hindered phenols or amines, which are obtained by means of the reaction of a sterically hindered phenol or amine bearing in the molecule at least in alkoxysilanol group with a mono- or poly-hydroxy aliphatic alcohol, by a transesterification reaction. The stabilizers so obtained are compatible with the organic polymers, wherein they remain stably.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
178 words
A process for the preparation of stabilizer compounds comprising reacting a sterically hindered amine compound of the following formulae: ##STR7## wherein R is selected from an aliphatic hydrocarbon and an oxyhydrocarbon group having 2 to 10 carbon atoms; R 2 is methyl; R 3 is selected from methyl and ethyl; R 4 is selected from a straight and branched chain alkyl group having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms; R5 is selected from a straight and branched chain alkylene group having from 2 to 5 carbon atoms; and n is selected from 0, 1 and 2, with a monohydroxy aliphatic alcohol having at least 6 carbon atoms or a polyhydroxy aliphatic alcohol having at least 4 carbon atoms, wherein the ratio of the methoxy or ethoxy groups to the alcoholic hydroxy groups in within the range of 1/1 to 3/1, under transesterification conditions and in the presence of a transesterification catalyst whereby methanol or ethanol is formed as a by product, continuously removing said by-product from the transesterification reaction and recovering said stabilizer compounds from said transesterification reaction.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
178 words
A process for the preparation of stabilizer compounds comprising reacting a sterically hindered amine compound of the following formulae: ##STR7## wherein R is selected from an aliphatic hydrocarbon and an oxyhydrocarbon group having 2 to 10 carbon atoms; R 2 is methyl; R 3 is selected from methyl and ethyl; R 4 is selected from a straight and branched chain alkyl group having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms; R5 is selected from a straight and branched chain alkylene group having from 2 to 5 carbon atoms; and n is selected from 0, 1 and 2, with a monohydroxy aliphatic alcohol having at least 6 carbon atoms or a polyhydroxy aliphatic alcohol having at least 4 carbon atoms, wherein the ratio of the methoxy or ethoxy groups to the alcoholic hydroxy groups in within the range of 1/1 to 3/1, under transesterification conditions and in the presence of a transesterification catalyst whereby methanol or ethanol is formed as a by product, continuously removing said by-product from the transesterification reaction and recovering said stabilizer compounds from said transesterification reaction.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
