  • Patent number: 4070335
    Abstract: 3,5-dialkyl-4-hydroxyphenylalkyl substituted piperazine diones are stabilizers for synthetic polymeric materials normally subject to deterioration caused by ultraviolet light. The compounds are prepared by the alkylation reaction between a substituted piperazine dione and 3,5-dialkyl-4-hydroxyphenyl-alkyl halide. Polymeric compositions containing these stabilizers may also contain a hindered phenolic compound. A typical embodiment is 15-(3',5'-di-t-butyl-4'-hydroxybenzyl)(7,15-diazadispiro[5,1,5,3]hexadecan e-14,16-dione).
