Description
BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a series of new tris(piperidylaminotriazylamino) compounds and to their use as stabilizers for synthetic polymers.
In recent years, a number of triazine derivatives have been proposed for use as polymer stabilizers, for example, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,108,829, 4,234,728 and 4,321,374. However, although the prior art compounds are, in general, effective stabilizers for synthetic polymers, particularly against light-induced degradation of polyolefins, they have a number of disadvantages in certain applications. In particular, these compounds have a relatively high volatility and tendency to migrate; moreover, their compatibility with polymers is generally not wholly satisfactory. Because of these problems, they tend to migrate easily to the surfaces of articles manufactured from the polymers which they are intended to stabilize, resulting in blooming and, in the long term, a reduction in the stabilization. This is particularly the case when the polymeric material is used in thin articles, such as in fibres, films or lacquers, and stabilization of polymeric articles of this type over a long period becomes an important problem.
We have now surprisingly discovered a series of triazine derivatives which can be dissolved in the polymers to be protected (thus overcoming the disadvantages of incompatibility which occur with simple physical mixtures), which have a low volatility and tendency to migrate and which are excellent light stabilizers for polymeric materials.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The compounds of the present invention are tris(piperidylaminotriazylamino) compounds of formula (I): ##STR1## in which: the groups represented by X are the same and have the formula (II): ##STR2## (in which: R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkyl group, a C.sub.2 -C.sub.22 alkoxyalkyl group, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 acyl group, an aralkyl group optionally having at least one C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl or halogen substituent or a group of formula (III): ##STR3## and R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are the same or different and each represents a hydrogen atom, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkyl group, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 acyl group or an aralkyl group optionally having at least one C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl or halogen substituent); and
Y represents a hydrogen atom, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkyl group, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 acyl group, an aralkyl group optionally having at least one C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl or halogen substituent or a group of formula (IV): ##STR4## in which R.sup.4 has any of the meanings defined for R.sup.2 ; and acid addition salts thereof.
The invention further provides a synthetic polymer composition comprising a synthetic polymer stabilised against the effects of light by the incorporation of a polymer stabilizer, wherein the stabilizer comprises at least one compound selected from compounds of formula (I) and their acid addition salts.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION
In the compounds of formula (I), where R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 or Y represents a C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkyl group, this may be a straight or branched chain group, for example a methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, hexyl, octyl, 2-ethylhexyl, decyl, dodecyl or octadecyl group. In the case of R.sup.1, the alkyl group preferably has from 4 to 8 carbon atoms, the butyl, hexyl, octyl and 2-ethylhexyl groups being most preferred. In the case of R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and Y, the group preferably has from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, the methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl and butyl groups being preferred and the methyl group being most preferred.
Where R.sup.1 represents an alkoxyalkyl group, it has from 2 to 22 carbon atoms, preferably from 3 to 22 carbon atoms, and we particularly prefer that the alkyl group should have from 2 to 4 carbon atoms, whilst the alkoxy group should have from 1 to 18 carbon atoms. This alkoxy group may be a straight or branched chain group, for example the methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy, butoxy, hexyloxy, octyloxy, 2-ethylhexyloxy, decyloxy, dodecyloxy or octadecyloxy groups. The preferred alkoxy groups have from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, for example the methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy, butoxy, heptyloxy or octyloxy groups. The alkyl group may be a straight or branched chain group and preferably has from 2 to 4 carbon atoms, for example an ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl or isobutyl group, most preferably a propyl group.
When R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 or Y represents an acyl group, this has from 1 to 18 carbon atoms, preferably from 2 to 18 carbon atoms, and is preferably an aliphatic carboxylic group (which can be saturated or unsaturated and straight or branched chain) or an aromatic carboxylic group, for example an acetyl, propionyl, acryloyl, butyroyl, hexanoyl, benzoyl, octanoyl, lauroyl, palmitoyl or stearoyl group. In particular, we prefer saturated straight-chain aliphatic carboxylic groups having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms, of which the acetyl group is most preferred.
Where R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 or Y represents an optionally substituted aralkyl group, the substituents are chosen from C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl groups and halogen atoms and there may be one or more, preferably one, substituent and, where there is more than one substituent, these may be the same or different. Examples of such optionally substituted aralkyl groups include the benzyl, phenethyl, p-methylbenzyl and p-chlorobenzyl groups, of which the benzyl group is preferred.
For ease of preparation, those compounds of formula (I) are preferred in which:
where R.sup.1 and Y both represent acyl groups, these acyl groups are the same;
where one of R.sup.1 and Y represents an acyl group, the other does not represent a hydrogen atom;
where two or three of R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 represent acyl groups, these acyl groups are the same; and
where one or two of R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 represent acyl groups, the other or others do not represent hydrogen atoms.
Particularly preferred are compounds in which:
where two or more of R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and Y represent acyl groups, these acyl groups are the same; and
where one or more of R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and Y represent acyl groups, the other or others do not represent hydrogen atoms.
Preferred classes of compound of the present invention are those in which:
(1) Y represents a hydrogen atom, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkyl group, a C.sub.2 -C.sub.18 acyl group or an aralkyl group optionally having a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl or halogen substituent, more preferably a hydrogen atom or a methyl or acetyl group;
(2) R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are the same and each represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl or acetyl group and preferably Y is as defined in (1) above;
(3) Y and R.sup.2, which may be the same or different, each represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkyl group or a C.sub.3 -C.sub.22 alkoxyalkyl group; and
(4) Y and R.sup.2, which may be the same or different, each represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.4 -C.sub.8 alkyl group.
The tris(piperidylaminotriazylamino) compounds of the present invention form acid addition salts, which are also part of the present invention. The nature of these salts is not critical, provided that they do not or do not substantially detract from the stabilizing effect of the compound of formula (I). Examples of acids which can usefully form salts with the compounds of formula (I) include: inorganic acids, such as sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid or phosphoric acid; organic carboxylic acids, such as formic acid, acetic acid, valeric acid, stearic acid, oxalic acid, adipic acid, sebacic acid, maleic acid, benzoic acid, p-t-butylbenzoic acid, 3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoic acid, salicyclic acid or terephthalic acid; organic sulphonic acids, such as methanesulphonic acid, benzenesulphonic acid or p-toluenesulphonic acid; or organic phosphonic acids, such as phenylphosphonic acid.

If it is desired to prepare a compound in which any one or more of R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and Y represent acyl groups, then the corresponding compound in which R.sup.1', R.sup.2', R.sup.3', R.sup.4' or Y' represents a hydrogen atom may be acylated.
The process of the invention is preferably carried out following either of the following Methods.
METHOD A
Compounds of formula (Ia) may be prepared as illustrated by the following reaction scheme: ##STR10##
In the above reaction scheme, R.sup.1', R.sup.2', Y' and Q are as defined above and X' represents a group of formula (IIa): ##STR11## In formula (IIa) and in the reaction schemes, the methyl group has been abbreviated a "Me".
In step (a) of this reaction scheme, a compound of formula (V) is reacted with an amine of formula (VI) under catalytic hydrogenation conditions, to give a compound of formula (VII).
Any catalyst commonly used in catalytic hydrogenation reactions may be employed for this reaction, without any particular limitation. Preferred catalysts include palladium on activated carbon, palladium black, platinum oxide and Raney nickel, of which platinum oxide is particularly preferred.
The reaction is preferably effected in the presence of a solvent, the nature of which is not critical, provided that it has no adverse effect on the reaction. Suitable solvents include water, an alcohol (such as methanol, ethanol or propanol) or a mixture thereof.
The hydrogen pressure employed is generally from 1 to 10 atmospheres (from 1.01 to 10.13 bars). The reaction temperature may vary over a wide range but is preferably from ambient temperature to 100.degree. C. The time required for the reaction will vary, depending upon the nature of the starting materials, the kind of catalyst employed and the reaction temperature, but, in general, a period of from 30 minutes to 5 hours will suffice.
The compound of formula (VI) can be employed in the form of its salt. Examples of salts which may be used include: salts of mineral acids, such as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid or sulphuric acid; salts of organic carboxylic acids, such as acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, adipic acid or benzoic acid; salts of organic sulphonic acids, such as methanesulphonic acid, benzenesulphonic acid or p-toluenesulphonic acid; and salts of organic phosphonic acids, such as phenylphosphonic acid.
Compounds of formula (VII) in which R.sup.1' represents a group of formula (IIIa) may be prepared directly by reacting a compound of formula (V) with an ammonium salt, such as ammonium chloride, ammonium bromide or ammonium acetate.
In step (b) of the reaction scheme, a compound of formula (IX) is prepared by reacting an appropriate amount of the compound of formula (VII) with a compound of formula (VIII) in an inert solvent.
The nature of the solvent employed in this reaction is not critical, provided that it has no adverse effect on the reaction. Suitable solvents include: water; ketones, such as acetone or methyl ethyl ketone; ethers, such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane; aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene or xylene; saturated hydrocarbons, such as heptane, octane, isooctane, cyclohexane or ethylcyclohexane; and mixtures of any two or more of the above solvents, mixtures of one or more of the above organic solvents with water being preferred and aqueous acetone being most preferred.
The temperature employed for this reaction may vary over a wide range, for example from 0.degree. C. to 200.degree. C., but we prefer to carry out the reaction at a temperature within the range from room temperature to 150.degree. C. The time required for the reaction will vary, depending upon the nature of the starting materials and the reaction temperature but, in general, the reaction will require a period of from 30 minutes to 25 hours.
This reaction may be facilitated by the presence of an acid-acceptor, which may be, for example: an inorganic base, such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate; or an organic base, such as triethylamine, pyridine, N,N-dimethylaniline or 1,8-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]undec-7-ene. Of these, we prefer sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate.
In step (c) of this reaction scheme, a compound of formula (Ia) is prepared by reacting the compound of formula (IX) with a compound of formula (X) in an inert solvent. The reaction conditions employed may be as described for step (b), but the reaction temperature is preferably from 100.degree. C. to 200.degree. C. and the time required for the reaction will generally be from 5 hours to 25 hours.
The starting material of formula (X) in which Y' represents an alkyl group, an aralkyl group or a group of formula (IVa) may easily be prepared by reacting the corresponding compound of formula (X) in which Y' represents a hydrogen atom with the corresponding carbonyl derivative, employing the reductive amination reaction described in step (a).
METHOD B
In this Method, a compound of formula (Ia) is prepared using similar reactions to those in Method A, but changing the order of the reactions. The first step in Method B, step (a'), consists of reacting a compound of formula (VIII) with a compound of formula (X) under the same reaction conditions as are employed in step (b) of Method A.
The second step, step (b'), of Method B comprises reacting the resulting compound of formula (XI) with a compound of formula (VII), following the same procedure as described for step (c) of Method A, resulting in the desired compound of formula (Ia).
These steps are shown in the following reaction scheme: ##STR12##
If desired, the resulting compounds of formula (Ia), whether obtained by Method A or Method B, can be converted to other compounds of the invention, for example by the following Methods.
METHOD C
Compounds of formula (Ia) in which any one or more of R.sup.1', R.sup.2', R.sup.3', R.sup.4' or Y' represents an alkyl or aralkyl group can be prepared by reacting the corresponding compound of formula (Ia) in which R.sup.1', R.sup.2', R.sup.3', R.sup.4' or Y' represents a hydrogen atom with a compound of formula (XII):
(in which R.sup.5 represents a C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkyl group or an aralkyl group optionally having at least one C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl or halogen substituent; and Q represents a halogen atom, for example a chlorine, bromine or iodine atom).
In this reaction, by appropriate selection of the reaction conditions, it is possible to convert R.sup.1' and Y' to the chosen alkyl or aralkyl group in a first step, whilst leaving hydrogen atoms represented by R.sup.2', R.sup.3' and R.sup.4' unaffected, and then convert these in a second step to an alkyl or aralkyl group, which may be the same as or different from the group to which R.sup.1' and Y' have been converted.
The reaction may be carried out in the presence or absence of an inert solvent and in the presence or absence of an acid-acceptor. Suitable acid-acceptors include alkali metal hydroxides and carbonates, such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate. Suitable inert solvents include, for example: ethers, such as dioxane, tetrahydrofuran or diethyl ether; aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene or xylene; alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol or propanol; amides, such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide or hexamethylphosphoric triamide; and mixtures of one or more of these solvents with water.
The reaction temperature is preferably within the range from room temperature to 150.degree. C. and the time required for the reaction is generally from 30 minutes to 3 hours.
Method D
Compounds of formula (Ia) in which one or more of R.sup.1', R.sup.2', R.sup.3', R.sup.4' and Y' represents a methyl group can be prepared by subjecting the corresponding compound of formula (Ia) in which R.sup.1', R.sup.2', R.sup.3', R.sup.4' or Y' represents a hydrogen atom to a Leuckart-Wallach reaction. This reaction may be carried out by reacting the compound of formula (Ia) with formaldehyde and formic acid in water at a temperature from 50.degree. C. to 100.degree. C. The time required for the reaction is generally from 5 hours to 20 hours.
METHOD E
Compounds of formula (Ia) in which one or more of R.sup.1', R.sup.2', R.sup.3', R.sup.4' and Y' represents a hydrogen atom can be converted to the corresponding compound of formula (I) in which one or more of R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and Y represents an acyl group by a conventional acylation reaction.
This reaction may be effected by reacting the compound of formula (Ia) with an appropriate amount of an active derivative of the corresponding carboxylic acid, particularly an acid halide, acid anhydride or lower (e.g. C.sub.1 -C.sub.4) alkyl ester of the acid.
When an acid halide or acid anhydride is used, R.sup.1' and Y' of compound (Ia) are the first to be converted to an acyl group, after which R.sup.2', R.sup.3' and R.sup.4' are converted in a second step. Clearly, by appropriate selection of the reaction conditions, it is possible to carry out these two steps using different acylating agents and thus introducing different acyl groups. However, it is generally more convenient and desirable to acylate all reactive positions together in a single stage. When a lower alkyl ester is used as the acylating agent, only R.sup.1' and Y' undergo reaction.
The reaction using an acid halide may be effected in the presence or absence of an acid-acceptor and is preferably carried out in an inert solvent at a temperature from room temperature to 130.degree. C. Depending upon the reaction conditions, the time required for the reaction will generally range from 30 minutes to 3 hours.
Suitable acid-acceptors include: alkali metal hydroxides and carbonates, such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate; and organic amines, such as triethylamine or pyridine. Suitable inert solvents include: aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene or xylene; halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as methylene chloride, chloroform or trichloroethane; and ethers, such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane.
The reaction using an acid anhydride may be carried out in the presence of an inert solvent or, by using an excess of acid anhydride, in the absence of an inert solvent. Suitable inert solvents include: aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene or xylene; and ethers, such as dioxane, tetrahydrofuran or diethylene glycol diethyl ether. The reaction is preferably effected at a temperature from room temperature to 160.degree. C. and the time required for the reaction will generally be from 30 minutes to 20 hours.
The acylation reaction using a lower alkyl ester of the acid is preferably effected in the presence of a base and an inert solvent, whilst continuously removing the lower alcohol produced.
Suitable bases include, for example: alkali metal compounds, such as sodium methoxide, sodium ethoxide, potassium t-butyoxide sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide or lithium amide; and titanates, such as tetraisopropyl titanate or tetrabutyl titanate. Of these, sodium ethoxide, potassium hydroxide and lithium amide are preferred. Suitable inert solvents include, for example, hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene, xylene, heptane, octane, isooctane, cyclohexane or ethylcyclohexane.
The reaction is preferably effected at a temperature of from 80.degree. to 180.degree. C. and the time required for the reaction is normally from 30 minutes to 5 hours.
After completion of any of the above Methods, the desired products may be separated from the reaction mixture by conventional means. For example, one suitable recovery technique comprises: if necessary, filtering insoluble matter from the reaction mixture; if the reaction mixture is acidic or alkaline, neutralising it; adding water to the mixture; extracting the product with a water-immiscible organic solvent; drying the extract; and then distilling the solvent from the extract to give the desired product. If necessary, this product may be purified, for example by column chromatography, preparative thin layer chromatography, distillation or recrystallisation.

The amount of compound of the invention employed as a stabilizer will depend upon various factors, for example the nature and properties of the polymer, the intended use of the polymer composition and whether or not there are any other stabilizers present. In general, however, the stabilizers will be added to the polymers in an amount of from 0.01 to 5% by weight, based on the weight of the polymer. However, the most effective amount of stabilizer depends upon the nature of the polymer and specifically:
For olefin, diene and styrene polymers, we prefer to use from 0.01 to 2.0% by weight of stabilizer, based on the polymer, more preferably from 0.02 to 1% by weight.
For polymers derived from vinyl chloride or vinylidene chloride, we prefer to use from 0.01 to 1.0% by weight of stabilizer, based on the weight of the polymer, more preferably from 0.02 to 0.5% by weight.
For polyurethanes and polyamides, we prefer to use from 0.01 to 5.0% by weight of stabilizer, based on the weight of polymer, more preferably from 0.02 to 2.0% by weight.
If desired, two or more of the compounds of the invention may be used together as stabilizers and, if desired, other stabilizers may be used in combination with one or more of the stabilizers of the invention.
The stabilizers of the invention can easily be mixed, employing conventional techniques, into the polymer or prepolymer at any suitable stage prior to preparation of shaped articles or other products from the polymer compositions. For example, the stabilizers may be mixed into the polymer in the molten condition or as dry pulverized materials or a suspension or emulsion of the stabilizer or stabilizers may be mixed with a solution, suspension or emulsion of the polymer.
It is possible to incorporate other additives commonly employed in polymer technology into the stabilized polymer compositions of the invention. Examples of such additives are disclosed in U.K. Patent Specification No. 1,401,924, incorporated herein by reference.

EXAMPLE 18
(a) Preparation of polymer test sheet
100 parts of unstabilized polypropylene powder (MFI-18), 0.2 part of the antioxidant stearyl 3-(3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate and 0.25 part of one of the stabilizer compounds of the present invention were kneaded for 10 minutes at 200.degree. C. in a Brabender plastics kneader to give a homogeneous material. This material was then pressed to a sheet of thickness 2-3 mm in a laboratory press. A portion of this sheet was pressed for 6 minutes at 260.degree. C. in a hydraulic press and then immediately placed into cold water to give a sheet of thickness 0.5 mm.
Following the same procedure, a 0.1 mm thick film was obtained from the 0.5 mm thick sheet. This film was cut into test pieces of dimensions 50.times.120 mm.
(b) Weathering test
The test specimens prepared in step (a) were exposed to the light of a Sunshine carbon-arc weather-meter at a black panel temperature of 63.+-.3.degree. C. The exposed films were subjected to tension tests at regular intervals and the times were recorded when the extension of the pieces decreased to 50% of the original extension. As controls, test specimens which were identical except that the stabilizer was omitted were subjected to the same test. The results are reported as a ratio in the following Table 1, the ratio being the time required for the extension of the test pieces to decrease to 50% divided by the time required for the extension of the controls to decrease to 50%.
In the following Table, the compound numbers are those assigned to the compounds of the invention in the foregoing list, whilst Compounds A and B are piperidyltriazine derivatives as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,108,829; specifically, Compound A is N,N',N"-tris(2,4-bis[N-butyl-N-(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidyl)amino]-1,3 ,5-triazin-6-yl)diethylenetriamine and Compound B is N,N'-bis(2,4-bis[N-butyl-N-(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidyl)amino]-1,3,5-t riazin-6-yl)hexamethylenediamine; the same abbreviations are used in the subsequent Tables.
EXAMPLE 19
Resistance to heat
A 0.5 mm thick sheet of polypropylene, prepared as described in Example 18(a), was cut into test specimens of dimensions 10.times.100 mm. These specimens were placed into an oven at 150.degree. C. and were periodically checked by bending them through 180.degree. to determine the number of days before the pieces became brittle. The number of days is reported in Table 2.
EXAMPLE 20
(a) Preparation of test specimens
100 parts of low density polyethylene and 0.25 part of one of the stabilizers of the invention were kneaded together for 10 minutes at 180.degree. C. in a Brabender plastics kneader, to give a homogeneous material. This material was pressed in a laboratory press to give a 2-3 mm thick sheet. A portion of the sheet was then pressed for 6 minutes at 160.degree. C. in a hydraulic press, to give a 0.5 mm thick sheet. This sheet was cut into test specimens of dimensions 5.times.5 cm.
(b) Resistance to blooming
The test specimens were placed onto black cardboard and kept at room temperature. Every week they were examined to determine whether blooming had occurred. The number of weeks before blooming was observed is reported in Table 3. In those cases where the result is reported as "(16)", no blooming could be observed during the entire period of the test (16 weeks).
Low density polyethylenes have recently found use for various agricultural purposes and, for such purposes, compatibility of the stabilizers is very important because, since the permeability of the film to light decreases when the stabilizers bloom, this has a bad influence on the growth of crops. The results of the test reported in Table 'shows that the compatibility of the compounds of the invention is very substantially improved compared with that of Compounds A and B.
