Abstract
There is disclosed a process for the preparation of 1-(2-hydroxyethyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinol from triacetoneamine, which comprises first reducing triacetoneamine in water and/or a polar organic solvent by catalytic hydrogenation to 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinol, and adding a catalytic amount of acid to the resultant solution, without isolation of the intermediate, after optional concentration of the solution by distillation, and subsequently reacting the 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinol with ethylene oxide. 1-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinol is a useful light and heat stabilizer for plastics and is, in addition, a valuable intermediate for the synthesis of further light stabilizer additives.
