Synthetic polymers have been widely utilized in the art, in view of their excellent properties, in various forms or shapes, for example, filament, fibre, yarn, film, sheet, other molded article, latex and foam. However, these polymers have some drawbacks such as poor light- and heat-stabilities and the like. Stated illustratively, polyolefins and polyurethane elastomers frequently tend to undergo severe deterioration when exposed to light such as sunlight or ultraviolet rays, and polyvinyl chloride and polyvinylidene chloride frequently tend to deteriorate and become colored by the action of light and heat together with elimination of hydrogen chloride therefrom. Polyamides are also frequently subjected to photo-deterioration. For the purpose of stabilizing these synthetic polymers against such deterioration, there have heretofore been proposed in the art a number of stabilizers; for example, for polyolefins, benzotriazole compounds and benzophenone compounds; for polyurethanes, phenol compounds and benzophenone compounds; and for polyvinyl chloride and polyvinylidine chloride, lead salts such as basic lead silicate and tribasic lead maleate, and organotin compounds such as dibutyltin laurate and dibutyltin maleate.

Although such prior stabilizers are known to be considerably satisfactory, there still remained some problems to be improved.

Thus, numerous attempts have been made in the art to find and develop new and more effective stabilizers.

As a result of our extensive studies, it has now been found that the new piperidine derivatives (I) of this invention can be satisfactorily prepared and exhibit a high stabilizing effect against photo- and thermal-deterioration of the synthetic polymers.

It is, accordingly, an object of this invention to provide new and useful piperidine derivatives (I).

Another object is to provide synthetic polymer composition stabilized against the deterioration thereof by having incorporated therein a sufficient amount to prevent the deterioration of at least one of the piperidine derivatives (I).
