Abstract: This invention is directed to a stabilizer useful to retard transesterification in moldable polymer blends containing polyester(s) during processing of the blends at elevated temperatures, particularly at high temperatures above about 285.degree. C. More particularly, the stabilizer comprises a phosphate-epoxy adduct. The stabilizer may optionally further comprise a reactive functionality component comprising a compound having a imide or oxazoline functionality and/or a hindered phenol component. The invention is also directed to a composition comprising the stabilizer and a particularly defined polymer blend.

Abstract: Compounds having the formula: ##STR1## wherein T is a polycycloalkylidene group (e.g., adamant-2-ylidene); R is a C.sub.1-20 alkyl, aralkyl or cycloalkyl group; and Y is a fluorescent chromophore (e.g., m-phenylene), produced by reacting a compound having the formula: ##STR2## with an R-ylating agent (e.g., R.sub.2 SO.sub.4) in the presence of an alkali metal alkoxide in a polar aprotic solvent. Also, compounds having the formula: ##STR3## are produced by reacting a compound having the formula: ##STR4## wherein X is an electronegative leaving group (e.g., a halogen anion such as chloride ion) in the presence of a Lewis base (e.g., a trialkyl-amine) dissolved in an aprotic organic solvent (e.g., benzene or toluene). Also, compounds having the formula ##STR5## are produced by reacting a compound of the formula ##STR6## with a tetra-O-acylated-O-hexopyranoside halide, then hydrolyzing off the protective acyl groups.
