Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3.14 parts of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-4-ol, 10 parts of propylene oxide and 10 parts of isopropanol was charged to an autoclave. A pressure of 100 atmospheres of nitrogen was applied and the mixture heated at 160°C for 6 hours. The isopropanol solvent and unreacted propylene oxide were removed by distillation under reduced pressure. Crystallisation of the residue from cyclohexane gave 3.0 parts of 1[2-hydroxypropyl]-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-4-ol having a melting point of 97°-8°C and on further purification of 107°-8°C and the following elemental analysis by weight:
