| abstract |
The invention relates to phenols which contain a number of aromatic nuclei and in which the bridge formation of these nuclei is in the meta-position to the OH groups. These phenols have the formula I, <IMAGE> (I) or <IMAGE> (VI) wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, A and n are as defined in claim 1. The novel phenols are most suitable for use as stabilizers for organic polymers and lubricants and have particularly good color properties. |
