Provided are ultraviolet stabilizers which are diphenylmethane compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein: R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are independently C.sub.1 to C.sub.8 alkyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl or cumyl; and X is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, C.sub.1 to C.sub.12 alkyl and C.sub.1 to C.sub.12 alkoxy. The invention also pertains to a process for their preparation and stabilized polymer blends containing the stabilizers.

Coupled benzotriazole and benzophenone UV absorbers

Provided are asymmetrical, ultraviolet stabilizers which are hydroxyphenyl benzotriazolylphenol compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein: R.sub.1 is C.sub.1 to C.sub.18 alkyl, C.sub.6 to C.sub.10 aryl, C.sub.7 to C.sub.16 arylalkyl, C.sub.1 to C.sub.12 alkoxy, C.sub.6 to C.sub.10 aryloxy, C.sub.7 to C.sub.16 arylalkoxy, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl or cumyl;

Asymmetrical benzotriazolylphenols

A process for producing 2-aryl-2H-benzotriazole by reducing an o-nitroazobenzene with a saccharide having an aldehyde group as a reducing agent in the presence of fluorenol as a catalyst and a base in solution. The reaction is conducted at a temperature of from about 60.degree. C. to about 80.degree. C. The reaction time and amount of catalyst is significantly reduced compared to the use of an aromatic ketone catalyst. The invention also provides a method for producing 2-aryl-2H-benzotriazole by reducing a 2-aryl-2H-benzotriazole-N-oxide intermediate with a saccharide having an aldehyde group as a reducing agent, in the presence of fluorenol under similar conditions.
