An efficient two-step manufacturing process for a novel polypiperidine-N-O-alkyl ether was developed. Starting from an oligomeric 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine derivative, oxidation by hydrogen peroxide yielded a polynitroxide radical. Subsequently, the intermediate was reacted with alkyl radicals to provide the corresponding hydroxylamine O-alkyl ether. The optimized process was amenable to scale-up, and 1 metric ton of the target compound was prepared in high yield as a product-by-process.
