3-phenylbenzofuran-2-ones

Abstract

Novel compounds of the formula I ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 is C.sub.13 -C.sub.30 alkyl, R.sub.2 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 alkyl, C.sub.5 -C.sub.12 cycloalkyl, C.sub.5 -C.sub.7 cycloalkyl which is substituted by C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, or is phenyl or C.sub.7 -C.sub.12 phenylalkyl, R.sub.3 is hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl and Z is phenyl, phenyl which is substituted by C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy or chlorine, a group ##STR2## in which n is 1 or 2 or a group ##STR3## in which the radicals A independently of one another are C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl, methoxy or ethoxy, are suitable for stabilizing organic material against oxidative, thermal and actinic degradation.
