Sterically Hindered Amine Ethers as Stabilizers Against Light. Oxygen and/or
Heat
This is a divisional application of Canadian patent application
serial No. 2,262,435, filed on February 23, 1999.

The invention relates to a new process for the preparation of sterically
hindered amine
ethers, new compounds of this class, their use as stabilizers for organic
material against
degradation by light, oxygen and/or heat and corresponding compositions.

A number of publications describe the stabilization of organic material using
specific sterically
hindered amine (HALS) compounds as stabilizers. A valuable class of sterically
hindered
amines are compounds wherein the nitrogen atom is part of a heterocyclic ring
and the
nitrogen atom carries an additional organic substituent linked over an oxygen
atom (NOR-
HALS; Kurumada et at., J.Polym.Sci, Poly.Chem. Ed. 22, 277-81 (1984); US-A-
5204473); the
oxygen-linked substituent is introduced in these compounds by etherification
of the free oxyl-
or hydroxylamine with suitable agents.

Some N-allyl nitroxides rearrange under certain conditions into amine ethers
(Meisenheimer
rearrangement; Chem. Ber. 52, 1667 (1919); Chem. Ber. 55, 513 (1922)).
Cleavage of the
nitroxide with formation of alkene and hydroxylamine (Cope elimination) is a
competing
reaction, the rate of which increases with increasing steric hindrance
(J.March, Advanced
Organic Chemistry, IV Ed., Wiley, 1992).

Now it has been found that, surprisingly, oxidation of a 1-allyl-
substituted sterically hindered amine effectively leads to the
corresponding 1-allyloxy-substituted product. According to one
aspect, the invention of the parent application pertains to a
process for the preparation of a compound of the formula I

bromination, of an
ethylenic double bond and/or polymerization, with or without previous
isolation of the product
of formula I.

Hydrogenation of the ethylenic double bond (carbon-carbon double bond) in the
compound
of the formula I can be achieved by methods known in the art, e.g. reaction
with gaseous
hydrogen under catalytic conditions or reaction with hydrogenating agents.
Preferred is
catalytic hydrogenation; known catalysts can be employed such as Pt, Pt, Pd,
Ni, Ru, Rh, on
support such as carbon or without support, Raney-Ni etc.

Hydrogenation of an allenic double bond in a compound of formula I wherein R7
and R8
together are a chemical bond, proceeds in 2 steps. The first step leads to a
partly
hydrogenated product, which may be isolated or subjected to further
derivatization, and
which corresponds to formula IV

Halogenation is another follow-up reaction which may be carried out subsequent
to the
process of present invention, mainly according to methods known in the art and
using the
appropriate reactant, e.g. as summarized in J. March, Advanced Organic
Chemistry:
Reaction mechanisms and Structure, 4th Edn., Wiley, 1992, p. 812. Halogen
thereby is
added to the carbon-carbon double bond of a compound of formula I or IV,
resulting in an a,
3-dihalogenated product. The halogen reagent X2, where X is F, Cl, Br, I or
preferably Cl or

a solution.
Halogen can also be released during the reaction in appropriate amounts using
a suitable
carrier substance or source.

Reactions can be carried out according to methods known in the art using
hydrogen
pressures in the common range, preferably between 0.5 and about 200 bar,
especially
between 1 and 100 bar (1 bar =105 Pa). Reactions can be carried out using
suitable
solbents, e.g. water, hydrocarbons like hexane, petrol fractions, toluene,
xylene, esters,
ethers, halogenated hydrocarbons or alcohols like methanol or ethanol.
Reactions can also
be carried out without solvent. Temperatures are uncritical and are mainly in

described further below.

In general, all products of present process can be used as stabilizers for
organic material
against detrimental effects of light, oxygen and heat. Of special value are
the compounds of
formulae I, la, III, IV and V. Best results are achieved with compounds of
formula Ill wherein
R, R,, R2, R3 and R4, are as defined for formula I and
R5, R6i R7, R8 and R9, independently of each other, are H, C1-C8alkyl, C2-
C8alkenyl, C5-
C12aryl, CN, COOR10, where R10 is as defined for formula I, or are C6-C12aryl
which is
substituted by a residue selected from C,-C4alkyl, C1-C4alkoxy. Organic
material most
effectively stabilized by present compounds is organic polymeric material
described below,
e.g. coatings and thermoplastic bulk polymers, films or fibers. Where the
polymers come in
contact with a pesticide, e.g. a pesticide containing sulfur and/or halogen
atoms, the
products of present process achieve both a stabilization against light and
detrimental effects
of the pesticide. This is especially important for polymers, e.g. films, tapes
or fibers, used in
agricultural applications, mainly polyolefines such as PE or PP or polyolefin
copolymers.
Preferred compounds in this application are those of formula Ill, especially
111c.below.

An important utility for all products of present process is the stabilization
of paper and pulp,
especially paper or pulp still containing lignin, against yellowing.
Application of present
products can be done as described, for-example, in the international patent
application No.
WO 98/04381, and
publications cited therein. Most preferred for this application is the use of
a monomeric
compound of the formula Ill, e.g. one wherein R is C3-C12 alkylene, or C4-
C12alkylene
interrupted by 0, NH, OCO or NHCO, R1-R4 are methyl or ethyl, especially
methyl, and R5-R9
are each H or C1-C4alkyl, especially H; examples are 1-propyloxy-2,2,6,6-
tetramethylpiperidine, 1-propyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-4-one, or the
product of
present example 4a (see below).
Further, the products of present process can be used with advantage as flame
retardants for
organic polymers. Thus, by using the products of present invention, an organic
polymer is
stabilized against detrimental effects of light, oxygen and heat, while the
same time the
inflammability of the polymer is effectively reduced. Application of present
products can be
done as described, for example, in the international patent application No. WO
98/13469
and publications cited therein,

compounds can be used as flame retardants alone or in combination with known
flame
retardants like a flame retardant compound selected from the halogenated,
phosphorus,
boron, silicon and antimony compounds, metal hydroxides, metal hydrates and
metal oxides
or mixtures thereof.

It has been a further finding of this invention that some compounds of formula
III are
especially well suitable as stabilizers for organic material against
detrimental effects of light,
oxygen and heat.

They are notable for high thermal stability, substrate compatibility and good
persistence in
the substrate.
Examples of polymers which can be stabilized in this way are the following:

1. Polymers of monoolefins and diolefins, for example polypropylene,
polyisobutylene, po-
lybut-1-ene, poly-4-methylpent-l -ene, polyisoprene or polybutadiene, as well
as polymers of
cycloolefins, for instance of cyclopentene or norbornene, polyethylene (which
optionally can
be crosslinked), for example high density polyethylene (HDPE), high density
and high mole-
cular weight polyethylene (HDPE-HMW), high density and ultrahigh molecular
weight poly-
ethylene (HDPE-UHMW), medium density polyethylene (MDPE), low density
polyethylene
(LDPE), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), (VLDPE) and (ULDPE).

Polyolefins, i.e. the polymers of monoolefins exemplified in the preceding
paragraph, prefe-
rably polyethylene and polypropylene, can be prepared by different, and
especially by the
following, methods:

-31-
a) radical polymerisation (normally under high pressure and at elevated
temperature).
b) catalytic polymerisation using a catalyst that normally contains one or
more than one
metal of groups IVb, Vb, Vlb or VIII of the Periodic Table. These metals
usually have
one or more than one ligand, typically oxides, halides, alcoholates, esters,
ethers,
amines, alkyls, alkenyls and/or aryls that may be either 7t- or a-coordinated.
These
metal complexes may be in the free form or fixed on substrates, typically on
activated magnesium chloride, titanium(III) chloride, alumina or silicon
oxide. These
catalysts may be soluble or insoluble in the polymerisation medium. The
catalysts
can be used by themselves in the polymerisation or further activators may be
used,
typically metal alkyls, metal hydrides, metal alkyl halides, metal alkyl
oxides or metal
alkyloxanes, said metals being elements of groups Ia, Ila and/or Illa of the
Periodic
Table. The activators may be modified conveniently with further ester, ether,
amine
or silyl ether groups. These catalyst systems are usually termed Phillips,
Standard
Oil 'Indiana, Ziegler (-Natta), TNZ (DuPont), metallocene or single site
catalysts
(SSC).

Of particular interest is the use of compounds of the formula Ilia as
stabilizers in
synthetic organic polymers, for example a coating or a bulk polymer or article
formed therefrom, especially in thermoplastic polymers and corresponding
compositions as well as in coating compositions. Thermoplastic polymers of
most
importance in present compositions are polyolefines and their copolymers, such
as
listed above under items 1-3, thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO), thermoplastic
polyurethan (TPU), thermoplastic rubber (TPR), polycarbonate, such as in item
19
above, and blends, such as in item 28 above. Of utmost importance are
polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC) and polycarbonate
blends such as PC/ABS blends, as well as in acid or metal catalyzed coating
compositions.

In general the compounds of present invention are added to the material to be
stabilized in amounts of from 0.1 to 10 %, preferably from 0.01 to 5 %, in
particular
from 0.01 to 2 % (based on the material to be stabilized). Particular
preference is
given to the use of the novel compounds in amounts of from 0.05 to 1.5 %,
especially from 0.1 to 0.5 %. Where compounds of present invention are used as
flame retardants, dosages are usually higher, e.g. 0.1 to 25 % by weight,
mainly
0.1 to 10 % by weight of the organic material to be stabilized and protected
against
inflammation.


CA 02643170 2008-10-23

-36-
Incorporation into the materials can be effected, for example, by mixing in or
applying the compounds of the formula I, Ilia, IV, V and, if desired, further
additives by the methods which are customary in the art. Where polymers are
involved, especially synthetic polymers, incorporation can take place prior to
or
during the shaping operation, or by applying the dissolved or dispersed
compound
to the polymer, with or without subsequent evaporation of the solvent. In the
case
of elastomers, these can also be stabilized as latices. A further possibility
for
incorporating the compounds of the formula Ilia into polymers is to add them
before, during or directly after the polymerization of the corresponding
monomers
or prior to crosslinking. In this context the compound of the formula Ilia can
be
added as it is or else in encapsulated form (for example in waxes, oils or
polymers). In the case of addition prior to or during the polymerization, the
compounds of the formula Ilia can also act as a regulator of the chain length
of the
polymers (chain terminator).

The compounds of the formula Ilia can also be added in the form of a
masterbatch
containing said compound in a concentration, for example, of from 2.5 to 25 %
by
weight to the polymers that are to be stabilized.

The compounds of the formula Illa can judiciously be incorporated by the
following
methods:
- as emulsion or dispersion (e.g. to latices or emulsion polymers),
- as a dry mixture during the mixing in of additional components
or polymer mixtures,
- by direct introduction into the processing apparatus (e.g. extruders,
internal
mixers, etc);
- as solution or melt.

Novel polymer compositions can be employed in various forms and/or processed
to give various products, for example as (to give) films, fibres, tapes,
moulding
compositions, profiles, or as binders for coating materials, adhesives or
putties.

The conventional additives are judiciously employed in amounts of 0.1-10 % by
weight, for example 0.2-5 % by weight, based on the material to be stabilized.

in which G is hydrogen or methyl, especially hydrogen; examples of
tetraalkylpiperidine derivatives which can be used as costabilizers with
mixtures of
the invention are given in EP-A-356 677, pages 3 - 17, sections a) to Q.

Likewise of particular interest is the use of the novel mixtures comprising
compounds of the
formula lila as stabilizers for coatings, for example for paints. The
invention therefore also
relates to those compositions whose component (A) is a film-forming binder for
coatings.
The novel coating composition preferably comprises 0.01 - 10 parts by weight
of (B), in
particular 0.05 - 10 parts by weight of (B), especially 0.1 - 5 parts by
weight of (B), per
100 parts by weight of solid binder (A).

Multilayer systems are possible here as well, where the concentration of the
novel stabilizer
(component (B)) in the outer layer can be relatively high, for example from 1
to 15 parts by
weight of (B); in particular 3 - 10 parts by weight of (B), per 100 parts by
weight of solid
binder (A).

The use of the novel stabilizer in coatings is accompanied by the additional
advantage that it
prevents delamination, i.e. the flaking-off of the coating from the substrate.
This advantage is
particularly important in the case of metallic substrates, including
multilayer systems on
metallic substrates.

The binder (component (A)) can in principle be any binder which is customary
in industry, for
example those described in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 5th
Edition,
Vol. A18, pp. 368-426, VCH, Weinheim 1991. In general, it is a film-forming
binder based on
a thermoplastic or thermosetting resin, predominantly on a thermosetting
resin. Examples
thereof are alkyd, acrylic, polyester, phenolic, melamine, epoxy and
polyurethane resins and
mixtures thereof. = .

Component (A) can be a cold-curable or hot-curable binder; the addition of a
curing catalyst
may be advantageous. Suitable catalysts which accelerate curing of the binder
are

Preference is given to coating compositions in which component (A) is a binder
comprising a
functional acrylate resin and a crosslinking agent.

Examples of coating compositions containing specific binders are:

1. paints based on cold- or hot-crosslinkable alkyd, acrylate, polyester,
epoxy or melamine
resins or mixtures of such resins, if desired with addition of a curing
catalyst;
2. two-component polyurethane paints based on hydroxyl-containing acrylate,
polyester or
polyether resins and aliphatic or aromatic isocyanates, isocyanurates or
polyisocyanates;
3. one-component polyurethane paints based on blocked isocyanates,
isocyanurates or
polyisocyanates which are deblocked during baking, if desired with addition of
a melamine
resin;
4. one-component polyurethane paints based on a Trisalkoxycarbonyltriazine
crosslinker and a hydroxyl group containing resin such as acrylate, polyester
or
polyether resins;
5. one-component polyurethane paints based on aliphatic or aromatic
urethaneacrylates or polyurethaneacrylates having free amino groups within the
urethane strukture and melamine resins or polyether resins, if necessary with
curing catalyst;
6. two-component paints based on (poly)ketimines and aliphatic or aromatic
isocyanates,
isocyanurates or polyisocyanates;
7. two-component paints based on (poly)ketimines and an unsaturated acrylate
resin or a
polyacetoacetate resin or a methacrylamidoglycolate methyl ester;
8. two-component paints based on carboxyl- or amino-containing polyacrylates
and
polyepoxides;
9. two-component paints based on acrylate resins containing anhydride groups
and on a
polyhydroxy or polyamino component;
10. two-component paints based on acrylate-containing anhydrides and

11. two-component paints based on (poly)oxazolines and acrylate resins
containing
anhydride groups, or unsaturated acrylate resins, or aliphatic or aromatic
isocyanates,
isocyanurates or polyisocyanates;
12. two-component paints based on unsaturated polyacrylates and polymalonates;
13. thermoplastic polyacrylate paints based on thermoplastic acrylate resins
or externally
crosslinking acrylate resins in combination with etherifled melamine resins;

resins.

In addition to components (A) and (B), the coating composition according to
the invention
preferably comprises as component (C) a light stabilizer of the sterically
hindered amine
type, the 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine and/or 2-hydroxyphenyl-2H-
benzotriazole type,
for example as mentioned in the above list in sections 2.1, 2.6 and 2.8.
Further examples for
light stabilizers of the 2-(2-hydroxyphenyi)-1,3,5-triazine type
advantageously to be added
can be found e.g. in the publications US-A-4619956, EP-A-434608, US-A-5198498,
US-A-
5322868, US-A-5369140, US-A-5298067, WO-94/18278, EP-A-704437, GB-A-2297091,
WO-96/28431. Of special technical interest is the addition of the 2-(2-
hydroxyphenyl)-1,3,5-
triazines and/or 2-hydroxyphenyl-2H-benzotriazoles, especially the 2-(2-
hydroxyphenyl)-
1,3,5-triazines.

Component (C) is preferably used in an amount of 0.05 - 5 parts by weight per
100 parts by
weight of the solid binder.

Apart from components (A), (B) and, if used, (C), the coating composition can
also comprise
further components, examples being solvents, pigments, dyes, plasticizers,
stabilizers,
thixotropic agents, drying catalysts and/or levelling agents. Examples of
possible
components are those described in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial
Chemistry, 5th
Edition, Vol. A18, pp. 429-471, VCH, Weinheim 1991.

Possible drying catalysts or curing catalysts are, for example, organometallic
compounds,
amines, amino-containing resins and/or phosphines. Examples of organometallic
compounds
are metal carboxylates, especially those of the metals Pb, Mn, Co, Zn, Zr or
Cu, or metal
chelates, especially those of the metals Al, Ti or Zr, or organometallic
compounds such as
organotin compounds, for example.


CA 02643170 2008-10-23

-51 -

Examples of metal carboxylates are the stearates of Pb, Mn or Zn, the octoates
of Co, Zn or
Cu, the naphthenates of Mn and Co or the corresponding linoleates, resinates
or tallates.
Examples of metal chelates are the aluminium, titanium or zirconium chelates
of
acetylacetone, ethyl acetylacetate, salicylaldehyde, salicylaldoxime, o-
hydroxyacetophenone
or ethyl trifluoroacetylacetate, and the alkoxides of these metals.

Examples of organotin compounds are dibutyltin oxide, dibutyltin dilaurate or
dibutyltin
dioctoate.

Examples of amines are, in particular, tertiary amines, for example
tributylamine,
triethanolamine, N-methyldiethanolamine, N-dimethylethanolamine, N-
ethylmorpholine,
N-methylmorpholine or diazabicyclooctane (triethylenediamine) and salts
thereof. Further
examples are quaternary ammonium salts, for example trimethylbenzylammonium
chloride.
Amino-containing resins are simultaneously binder and curing catalyst.
Examples thereof are
amino-containing acrylate copolymers.

The curing catalyst used can also be a phosphine, for example
triphenylphosphine.

The novel coating compositions can also be radiation-curable coating
compositions. In this
case, the binder essentially comprises monomeric or oligomeric compounds
containing
ethylenically unsaturated bonds, which after application are cured by actinic
radiation, i.e.
converted into a crosslinked, high molecular weight form. Where the system is
UV-curing, it
generally contains a photoinitiator as well. Corresponding systems are
described in the
abovementioned publication Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 5th
Edition,
Vol. Al 8, pages 451-453. In radiation-curable coating compositions, the novel
stabilizers can
also be employed without the addition of sterically hindered amines.

The coating compositions according to the invention can be applied to any
desired
substrates, for example to metal, wood, plastic or ceramic materials. They are
preferably
used as topcoat in the finishing of automobiles. If the topcoat comprises two
layers, of which
the lower layer is pigmented and the upper layer is not pigmented, the novel
coating
composition can be used for either the upper or the lower layer or for both
layers, but
preferably for the upper layer.


CA 02643170 2008-10-23

-52-
The novel coating compositions can be applied to the substrates by the
customary methods,
for example by brushing, spraying, pouring, dipping or electrophoresis; see
also Ullmann's
Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 5th Edition, Vol. A18, pp. 491-500.

Depending on the binder system, the coatings can be cured at room temperature
or by
heating. The coatings are preferably cured at 50 - 150 C, and in the case of
powder coatings
or coil coatings even at higher temperatures.

The coatings obtained in accordance with the invention have excellent
resistance to the
damaging effects of light, oxygen and heat; particular mention should be made
of the good
light stability and weathering resistance of the coatings thus obtained, for
example paints.
The invention therefore also relates to a coating, in particular a paint,
which has been
stabilized against the damaging effects of light, oxygen and heat by a content
of the
compound of the formula F according to the invention. The paint is preferably
a topcoat for
automobiles. The invention furthermore relates to a process for stabilizing a
coating based
on organic polymers against damage by light, oxygen and/or heat, which
comprises mixing
with the coating composition a mixture comprising a compound of the formula F,
and to the
use of mixtures comprising a compound of the formula F in coating compositions
as
stabilizers against damage by light, oxygen and/or heat.

The coating compositions can comprise an organic solvent or solvent mixture in
which the binder is soluble. The coating composition can otherwise be an
aqueous
solution or dispersion. The vehicle can also be a mixture of organic solvent
and
water. The coating composition may be a high-solids paint or can be solvent-
free
(e.g. a powder coating material). Powder coatings are, for example, those
described in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 5th Ed., A18,
pages
438-444. The additive of present invention can be used therein e.g. as
described
e.g. in EP-A-856563, especially page 22, line 21, until page 26, line 29, and
literature cited in this reference.The powder coating material may also have
the
form of a powder-slurry (dispersion of the powder preferably in water).

Examples of resins for powder coatings are:


CA 02643170 2008-10-23

-53-
1. Carboxy- or hydroxy-functionalised polyester resins, based on monomers such
as
terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, neopentyl glycol, 2-methyl-1,3-
propandiol, tris-1,1,1-
(hydroxymethyl)propane etc.
2. Epoxy resins based on bisphenols, such as bisphenol A or Novolac epoxy
resins for
thermal or uv-cure with cationic photoinitiators.
3. Hydroxy-, carboxy- or glycidyl-functionalised acrylate polymers and
copolymers. Suitable
comonomers include styrene, alkyl methacrylates, acrylamide, acrylonitrile
etc.
4. Unsaturated polyester resins for uv-cureable powder coatings, typically
used in
conjunction with multifuntional vinyl ethers or acrylate esters.

Powder coating based on resins with carboxy functionality are typically used
together with
crosslinking agents of the following classes:
1) polyfunctional epoxy compounds, such as epoxy resins,
triglycidylisocyanurate,
epoxidisod unsaturated fatty acid esters (such as Uranox resins from DSM),
and esters
and ethers of glycidol (such as Araldit PT910 from Ciba Specialty Chemicals).

2) 0-hydroxyalkylamides, such as Primid types XL552 and QM1260 from Ems
Chemie.
3) derivatives of melamine, benzoguanimine and glycoluril, such as Powderlink
1174 from
American Cyanamid.

Crosslinking agents for resins of hydroxy functionality include anhydrides and
especially
blocked diisocyanates and uretdiones, etc.

Powder coatings based on resins with epoxy functionality are typically used
together with'
crosslinking agents such as diacids (such as 1,12-dodecanedioic acid), carboxy-
functional
polyesters, carboxy-functional copolymers of acrylates and methacrylates,
anhydrides (such
as the anhydride prepared from 1, 1 2-dodecanedioic acid).

Other additives that can be used together with the compounds of the invention
in powder
coatings include: degassing agents, flow promoters, tribocharging additives
cure catalysts,
sensitisers, cationic and free-radical photoinitiators, as well as typical
liquid paint additives.
A particular advantage of the compounds of the invention is their low
basicity, as basic
compounds often catalyse the crosslinking reactions of powder coatings to
cause poor flow
and degassing, and reduced storage stability. This is particularly useful in
formulations of


CA 02643170 2008-10-23

-54-
high reactivity, such as the glycidylmethacrylate-functionalised acrylics.
Here, the
combination of the compounds of the invention together with uv-absorbers,
especially of the
hydroxyphenyltriazine class, can be used to improve the weatherability without
causing
catalysis. In other binder systems and with other classes of uv-absorbers,
such as those
previously mentioned to be of particular use in automotive paints, synergistic
effects on the
weatherability are also found.

In powder coatings the compounds of the invention can also be used to improve
the
oxidative stability and reduce yellowing on curing and overbaking. Here not
only is the low
basicity advantageous, but also the ability of the hindered morpholinones to
withstand and
prevent yellowing caused by oxides of nitrogen in gas-fired ovens. Use
together particularly
with phosphite and phosphonite costabilisers, as disclosed in EP-A-816442, and
dialkylesters of dithiopropionic acid is particularly beneficial. The
compounds of the invention
can, whore appropriate also be used to stabilise polyester during manufacture
as well as at
all stages of its subsequent use.

The pigments can be inorganic, organic or metallic pigments. The novel coating
compositions preferably contain no pigments and are used as a clearcoat.

Likewise preferred is the use of the coating composition as a topcoat for
applications in the
automobile industry, especially as a pigmented or unpigmented topcoat of the
paint finish. Its
use for underlying coats, however, is also possible.

Some products of present process are novel compounds.

especially a
compound of the formula Ia, wherein R5, R6, R7, Re and R9, independently of
each other, are
