Description

"New Coupler Component for Oxidation Colorants"

The invention relates to new N, N'-bis (3'-aminophenyl) alkylenediamines and their use as coupler components for producing oxidation colors with known developer compounds.

The so-called oxidation dyes play a special role in dyeing keratin fibers, especially hair, because of their intense colors and good fastness properties, which are achieved at a relatively low dyeing temperature and in short dyeing times. Such colorants contain in a suitable, usually aqueous carrier an oxidation base, which is also referred to as a developer component and which forms a dye under the influence of atmospheric oxygen or oxidizing agents through oxidative polymerization. This dye can be intensified by coupling with another developer compound or with so-called coupler compounds, which cannot form any dyes themselves, and the shade can be modified.

Good oxidation dye precursors should primarily fulfill the following requirements: They must develop the desired color shades with sufficient intensity and authenticity in the oxidative coupling. They must also have a good ability to draw onto the fiber, whereby there must be no noticeable differences between stressed and freshly regrown hair, especially with human hair (leveling ability). They should be resistant to light, heat, friction and the influence of chemical reducing agents, such as perm fluids. After all, if they are used as a hair dye, they should not stain the scalp too much, and above all they should be harmless from a toxicological and dermatological point of view. Furthermore, the coloring achieved by bleaching should be easy again can be removed from the hair, if it does not meet the individual wishes of the individual and should be reversed.

Primary aromatic amines with a further free or substituted hydroxy or amino group in the para or ortho position, diaminopyridine derivatives, heterocyclic hydrazones, 4-aminopyrazolone derivatives and 2,4,5,6-tetraaminopyrimidine and derivatives thereof are usually used as developer components ,

Specific representatives are, for example, p-phenylenediamine, p-toluenediamine, 2,4,5,6-tetra-aminopyrimidine, p-aminophenol, N, N-bis (2'-hydroxyethyl) -p-phenylenediamine, 2- (2 ', 5'-diaminophenyl) ethanol, 2- (2 ', 5'-diaminophenoxy) ethanol, 1-phenyl-3-car-boxyamido-4-amino-pyrazol-5-one, 4-amino-3-methylphenol, 2- aminomethyl 1-4-aminophenol, 2-hydroxy-4,5,6-triaminopyrimidine, 2,4-dihydroxy-5,6-diaminopyrimidine, 2,5,6-triamino-4-hydroxypyrimidine and 1, 3-N , N'-bis (2'-hydroxyethyl) -N, N'-bis (4'-aminophenyl) diamino-propan-2-ol.

M-Phenylenediamine derivatives, naphthols, resorcinol and resorcinol derivatives, pyrazolones and m-aminophenols are generally used as coupler components. Particularly suitable coupler substances are 1-naphthol, 1,5-, 2,7- and 1,7-dihydroxynaphthalene, 5-amino-2-methylphenol, m-aminophenol, resorcinol, resorcinol monomethyl ether, m-phenylenediamine, l-phenyl -3-methyl-pyrazol-5-one, 2,4-dichloro-3-aminophenol, 1,3-bis- (2 ', 4'-diaminophenoxy) propane, 2-chlororesorcinol, 4-chlororesorcinol, 2-chlorine -6-methyl-3-aminophenol, 2-methylresorcinol, 5-methylresorcinol, 2-methyl-4-chloro-5-aminophenol, 2,4-diaminophenoxyethanol and 2-amino-3-hydroxypyridine.

With a developer component or a special coupler / developer combination alone, it is usually not possible to obtain a color shade that looks natural on the hair. In practice, therefore, combinations of different developer components and coupler components are usually used. There is therefore a constant need for new, improved dye precursors. From DE 2 934 329 C2 N, N'-bis (4'-methoxy-5'-aminophenyl) alkylenediamines were known as couplers for oxidation hair colorants. However, the couplers disclosed there do not yet make all the desired color nuances accessible. They also do not have the required authenticity properties. It was therefore the task to find new coupler compounds which, with the common developer components, lead to particularly intensive oxidation colors with high light and wash fastness properties and more favorable dermatological properties.

The invention relates to N, N'-bis (3-aminophenyl) alkylenediamines of the general formula I,

(I)

In a further preferred embodiment of the compounds of the formula I, the substituents R ¹ , R ² , R ³ , R ⁴ , R ⁵ , R ⁶ , R ⁷ , R ⁸ , R ⁹ and R ^{10 are} hydrogen.

In addition to their surfactant action, the alkyl glycosides can also serve to improve the fixation of fragrance components on the hair. In the event that an effect of the perfume oil on the hair beyond the duration of the hair treatment is desired, the person skilled in the art will preferably resort to this substance class as a further ingredient of the preparations according to the invention.

The alkoxylated homologs of the alkyl polyglycosides mentioned can also be used according to the invention. These homologues can contain an average of up to 10 ethylene oxide and / or propylene oxide units per alkyl glycoside unit. Furthermore, zwitterionic surfactants can be used, in particular as co-surfactants. Zwitterionic surfactants are surface-active compounds that contain at least one quaternary ammonium group and at least one in the molecule

Particularly preferred ampholytic surfactants are N-cocoalkylaminopropionate, cocoacylaminoethylaminopropionate and Ci ₂ -i ₈ -acylsarcosine.

According to the invention, the cationic surfactants used are, in particular, those of the quaternary ammonium compound, esterquat and amidoamine type.

Preferred quaternary ammonium compounds are ammonium halides, especially chlorides and bromides, such as alkyltrimethylammonium chlorides, dialkyldimethylammonium chlorides and trialkylmethylammonium chlorides, for example cetyltrimethylam- monium chloride, stearyltrimethylammonium chloride, distearyldimethylammonium chloride, lauryldimethylammonium chloride, lauryldimethylbenzylammonium chloride and tricetylmethylammonium chloride, as well as the imidazolium compounds known under the INCI names Quaternium-27 and Quaternium-83.

In the case of the surfactants, which are addition products of ethylene and / or propylene oxide onto fatty alcohols or derivatives of these addition products, both products with a "normal" homolog distribution and those with a narrowed homolog distribution can be used. “Normal” homolog distribution is understood to mean mixtures of homologs which are obtained as catalysts from the reaction of fatty alcohol and alkylene oxide using alkali metals, alkali metal hydroxides or alkali metal alcoholates. By contrast, narrow homolog distributions are obtained if, for example, hydrotalcites, alkaline earth metal salts of ether carboxylic acids, alkaline earth metal oxides, hydroxides or alcoholates are used as catalysts. The use of products with a narrow homolog distribution can be preferred.

In principle, the oxidative development of the coloring can take place with atmospheric oxygen. However, a chemical oxidizing agent is preferably used, especially if, in addition to the coloring, a lightening effect on human hair is desired. Persulfates, chlorites and in particular hydrogen peroxide or their adducts with urea, melamine and sodium borate are suitable as oxidizing agents. However, the oxidation coloring agent can also be applied to the hair together with a catalyst which prevents the oxidation of the dye precursors, e.g. activated by atmospheric oxygen. Such catalysts are e.g. Transition metal compounds, iodides, quinones or certain enzymes. Suitable enzymes are e.g. Peroxidases, which can significantly increase the effects of small amounts of hydrogen peroxide. Furthermore, such enzymes are suitable according to the invention which directly oxidize the oxidation dye precursors with the aid of atmospheric oxygen, such as for example the laccases, or generate small amounts of hydrogen peroxide in situ and thus activate the oxidation of the dye precursors biocatalytically. Particularly suitable catalysts for the oxidation of the dye precursors are the so-called 2-electron oxidoreductases in combination with the substrates specific for this, e.g.

Pyranose oxidase and, for example, D-glucose or galactose, Glucose oxidase and D-glucose,

Glycerin oxidase and glycerin,

Pyruvate oxidase and pyruvic acid or its salts,

- alcohol oxidase and alcohol (MeOH, EtOH),

Lactate oxidase and lactic acid and their salts,

Tyrosinase oxidase and tyrosine,

Uricase and uric acid or salts thereof,

Choline oxidase and choline,

- Amino acid oxidase and amino acids.

The preparation of the oxidizing agent is expediently mixed with the preparation from the oxidation dye precursors immediately before hair coloring. The resulting ready-to-use hair color preparation should preferably have a pH in the range from 6 to 10. It is particularly preferred to use the hair dye in a weakly alkaline environment. The application temperatures can range between 15 and 40 ° C. After an exposure time of approx. 30 minutes, the hair dye is removed from the hair to be colored by rinsing. Washing with a shampoo is not necessary if a carrier with a high tenside content, e.g. a coloring shampoo was used.
