Compounds of formula I ##STR1## wherein n is 2-4, R.sub.1 is alkyl, cycloalkyl, phenylalkyl, phenyl or a radical of formula II ##STR2## R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are independently hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, phenylalkyl or aryl, or R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 together are alkyl, R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 are independently hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl or phenylalkyl, R.sub.7 is hydrogen, alkyl or a group of the formula --(CH.sub.2).sub.k COOR.sub.8, where k is 0-2 and R.sub.8 is hydrogen or alkyl, and T is an n-valent hydrocarbon radical which may be interrupted by heteroatoms, are useful stabilizers for substrates subject to the deleterious effects of oxygen, heat and/or actinic radiation.
