A Process for preparing carboxylic esters of a mixture of structurally branched C9 monocarboxylic acids proceeding from 2-ethylhexanol is characterized in that
(a) 2-ethylhexanol is dehydrated to an octene mixture in the presence of a catalyst;
(b) the octene mixture obtained in step a) is reacted in the presence of a transition metal compound of group VIII of the periodic table of the elements with carbon monoxide and hydrogen to give a mixture of isomeric isononanals;
(c) the mixture of isomeric isononanals obtained in step b) is oxidized to a mixture of structurally branched C9 monocarboxylic acids; and
(d) the mixture of structurally branched C9 monocarboxylic acids obtained in step c) is reacted with alcohols to give carboxylic esters.

The invention relates to a process for preparing polymethylol compounds of the formula (I)
(HOCH
2
)
2
—C—R
2
(I)
where the radicals R are each, independently of one another, a further methylol group or an alkyl group having from 1 to 22 carbon atoms or an aryl or aralkyl group having from 6 to 22 carbon atoms, by condensation of aldehydes having from 2 to 24 carbon atoms with formaldehyde in an aldol reaction using tertiary amines as catalyst to form alkanals of the formula (II)
where the radicals R each independently have one of the abovementioned meanings, and subsequent hydrogenation of the latter. The particular inventive feature of this process is that the aldol reaction is carried out using an aqueous formaldehyde solution having a formic acid content of <150 ppm and preferably <100 ppm.
In this way of carrying out the process, the formation of by-products can advantageously be prevented in a targeted manner and the yield of the desired polymethylol compound can thereby be increased.

Compounds of formula (I):
wherein:
R represents H or a mono- or poly- carboxylic acyl group;
R¹ represents H or a carboxylic ester moiety;
R² represents an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group, an aryl group, or an aralkyl group, said groups being optionally substituted, or R² represents a carboxylic ester moiety;
n = 1 - 4;
Y is O or S;
and esters thereof,
are useful as heat and photo- stabilisers for polymeric materials.
