Abstract

1,4-Bis-benzoxazolyl-(2)'-naphthalenes of the formula ##SPC1## Wherein R denotes optionally non-chromophorically substituted alkyl with 1 to 18 carbon atoms, alkenyl with 2 to 4 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl, aryl or aralkyl, Y denotes hydrogen, alkyl with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, halogen, carboxyl, carbalkoxy with 2 to 5 carbon atoms or the radical --SO.sub.2 R', wherein R' represents optionally non-chromophorically substituted alkyl with 1 to 18 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl, alkenyl with 2 to 4 carbon atoms, aryl or aralkyl, and X and X' independently of one another denote hydrogen, chlorine or alkyl with 1 to 4 carbon atoms. These new compounds are useful as optical brighteners for organic materials, especially for polyesters, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, polyacrylonitrile and cellulose acetates.
