Description

4,5,6-substituted m-phenylenediamine coupler components

The present invention relates to agents for dyeing keratin fibers which contain special m-phenylenediamine derivatives, a process for dyeing hair with these agents, and to these m-phenylenediamine derivatives themselves, their use and intermediates which are produced in the preparation of these compounds.

For the coloring of keratin fibers, especially human hair, the so-called oxidation coloring agents play a preferred role because of their intense colors and good fastness properties. Such colorants contain oxidation dye precursors, so-called developer components and

Intermediates. The developer components form the actual dyes under the influence of oxidizing agents or of atmospheric oxygen with one another or under coupling with one or more coupler components.

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

Specific representatives are, for example, p-phenylenediamine, p-toluenediamine, 2,4,5, 6-tetraaminopyrimidine, p-aminophenol, N, N-bis (2-hydroxyethyl) -p-phenylenediamine, 2- (2,5- Diaminophenyl) ethanol, 2- (2,5-diaminophenoxy) ethanol, 1 -phenyl-3-carboxyamido-4-amino-pyrazolon-5, 4-amino-3-methylphenol, 2-aminomethyl-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. Suitable coupler substances are, in particular, 1-naphthol, 1,5-, 2,7- and 1,7-dihydroxynaphthalene, 5-amino-2-methylphenol, m-aminophenol, resorcinol, resorcinomino methyl ether, m-phenylenediamine, l-phenyl -3-methyl-pyrazolone-5, 2,4-dichloro-3-aminophenol, 1,3-bis (2,4-diaminophenoxy) propane, 2-chlororesorcinol, 4-chlororesorcinol, 2-chloro-6-methyl -3-aminophenol, 2-methylresorcinol, 5-methylresorcinol and 2-methyl-4-chloro-5-aminophenol.

EP-B-0 663 814 describes processes for dyeing keratin fibers using an alkoxy-m-phenylenediamine at an acidic pH. Numerous substituted 2,4-diaminobenzenes are described, but they do not have substituents 1, 5 and 6 at the same time. The amino groups may have an N- (hydroxyalkyl) substituent in one position. In parallel WO 93/10744, 2,4-bis (2-hydroxyethylamino) anisole is also mentioned among the examples.

Good oxidation dye precursors should form the desired color shades in sufficient intensity and fastness in the oxidative coupling. They should also have a good ability to draw onto the fiber, with no noticeable differences between stressed and freshly regrown hair, in particular with human hair (leveling ability). They should be resistant to light, heat, sweat, friction and the influence of chemical reducing agents, such as perm fluids. After all, if they are used as 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 should be easily removed from the hair again by bleaching, if it does not correspond to the individual wishes of the individual and is to be reversed. 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 and / or coupler components are usually used. There is therefore a constant need for new, improved dye components which show the above property profile and which are also unproblematic in toxicological and dermatological terms.

It was therefore an object of the present invention to develop new coupler components which meet the requirements imposed on oxidation dye precursors, also with regard to the toxicological and dermatological properties, and which enable dyeings in a wide color spectrum with good fastness properties.

It has been found according to the invention that special m-phenylenediamine derivatives meet the requirements imposed on coupler components to a high degree. The coupler components according to the invention in particular enable the production of intense red tones with good fastness properties.

The invention therefore firstly relates to agents for dyeing keratin fibers, in particular human hair, containing at least one m-phenylenediamine derivative of the general formula (I) as a coupler component in a cosmetically acceptable carrier.

Keratinic fibers are to be understood according to the invention to mean furs, wool, feathers and in particular human hair. Although the oxidation colorants according to the invention are primarily suitable for dyeing keratin fibers, there is in principle nothing to prevent them from being used in other areas, particularly in color photography. Since the m-phenylenediamine derivatives according to the invention are amino compounds, the known acid addition salts can be prepared from them in the usual way. The invention therefore relates both to the compounds present in free form and to their water-soluble, physiologically tolerable salts.

Cι. alkyl and C -alkoxy radicals are in turn linear or branched, preferably linear, and particularly preferably ethyl or methyl. If one of the radicals R ¹ to R ⁷ and X contains a hydroxyl group bonded to an alkylene radical, the hydroxyl group is preferably terminal and the alkylene radical is linear. A hydroxyethyl radical is therefore preferably a 2-hydroxyethyl radical. If the radical X is a Cι- ₆ - alkoxy or C _\ . ₆ -alkyl radical, this may be substituted, but not on the carbon atom which is closest to the aromatic nucleus to which the radical X is bonded.

Furthermore, the preparations according to the invention can also contain naturally occurring dyes, such as those contained in henna red, henna neutral, henna black, chamomile flowers, sandalwood, black tea, rotten bark, sage, blue wood, madder root, catechu, sedre and alkanna root.

It is not necessary that the oxidation dye precursors or the substantive dyes each represent uniform compounds. Rather, the hair colorants according to the invention, due to the production process for the individual dyes, may also contain minor components in minor amounts, provided that these do not adversely affect the coloring result or for other reasons, e.g. toxicological, must be excluded.

With regard to the dyes which can be used in the hair dyeing and toning agents according to the invention, reference is also expressly made to the monograph Ch. Zviak, The Science of Hair Care, chapter 7 (pages 248-250; direct dyes) and chapter 8, pages 264-267; Oxidation dye precursors), published as Volume 7 of the "Dermatology" series (ed .: Ch., Culnan and H. Maibach), Marcel Dekker Inc., New York, Basel, 1986, and the "European Inventory of Cosmetic Raw Materials." ", published by the European Community, available in diskette form from the Federal Association of German Industry and Commerce for Medicinal Products, Health Care Products and Personal Care Products, Mannheim.

The colorants according to the invention can furthermore contain all active substances, additives and auxiliaries known for such preparations. In many cases, the colorants contain at least one surfactant, with both anionic and zwitterionic, ampholytic, nonionic and cationic surfactants being suitable in principle. In many cases, however, it has proven to be advantageous to select the surfactants from anionic, zwitterionic or nonionic surfactants. Suitable anionic surfactants in preparations according to the invention are all anionic surface-active substances suitable for use on the human body. These are characterized by a water-solubilizing, anionic group such as. B. a carboxylate, sulfate, sulfonate or phosphate group and a lipophilic alkyl group with about 10 to 22 carbon atoms. In addition, glycol or polyglycol ether groups, ester, ether and amide groups and hydroxyl groups can be contained in the molecule. Examples of suitable anionic surfactants are, in each case in the form of the sodium, potassium and ammonium and the mono-, di- and trialkanolammonium salts with 2 or 3 carbon atoms in the alkanol group, linear fatty acids with 10 to 22 carbon atoms (soaps ), Ether carboxylic acids of the formula RO- (CH ₂ -CH ₂ O) _x -CH ₂ -COOH, in which R is a linear alkyl group with 10 to 22 C atoms and x = 0 or 1 to 16, acyl sarcosides with 10 to 18 C atoms in the acyl group, acyl taurides with 10 to 18 C atoms in the acyl group, acyl isethionates with 10 to 18 C atoms in the acyl group, sulfosuccinic acid and dialkyl esters with 8 to 18 C atoms in the alkyl group and sulfobee stonic acid mono- alkyl polyoxyethyl esters with 8 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl group and 1 to 6 oxyethyl groups, linear alkanesulfonates with 12 to 18 carbon atoms, linear alpha-olefin sulfonates with 12 to 18 carbon atoms, methyl alpha-sulfofatty acid esters of fatty acids with 12 to 18 carbon atoms Atoms, alkyl sulfates and alkyl polyglycol ether sulfates of the formula RO (CH ₂ - CH ₂ O) _x -SO ₃ H, in which R is a preferably linear alkyl group with 10 to 18 carbon atoms and x = 0 or 1 to 12, mixtures of surface-active hydroxysulfonates according to DE-A-37 25 030 sulfated hydroxyalkyl polyethylene and / or hydroxyalkylene propylene glycol ethers according to DE-A-37 23 354, Sulfonates of unsaturated fatty acids with 12 to 24 carbon atoms and 1 to 6 double bonds according to DE-A-39 26 344, esters of tartaric acid and citric acid with alcohols, the addition products of about 2-15 molecules of ethylene oxide and / or propylene oxide with fatty alcohols with 8 to Represent 22 carbon atoms.

Preferred anionic surfactants are alkyl sulfates, alkyl polyglycol ether sulfates and ether carboxylic acids with 10 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl group and up to 12 glycol ether groups in the molecule, and in particular salts of saturated and in particular unsaturated C ₈ -C ₂₂ carboxylic acids, such as oleic acid, stearic acid , Isostearic acid and palmitic acid.

Non-ionic surfactants contain z. B. a polyol group, a polyalkylene glycol ether group or a combination of polyol and polyglycol ether group. Such compounds are, for example, adducts of 2 to 30 mol of ethylene oxide and / or 0 to 5 mol of propylene oxide with linear fatty alcohols with 8 to 22 C atoms, with fatty acids with 12 to 22 C atoms and with alkylphenols with 8 to 15 C atoms in the alkyl group, Ci ₂ -C ₂₂ fatty acid monoesters and diesters of adducts of 1 to 30 moles of ethylene oxide with glycerol, C ₈ -C ₂₂ alkyl mono- and oligoglycosides and their ethoxylated analogues as well as adducts of 5 to 60 moles of ethylene oxide with castor oil and hardened castor oil.

Preferred nonionic surfactants are alkyl polyglycosides of the general formula R * O- (Z) _χ . These connections are characterized by the following parameters. The alkyl radical R ¹ contains 6 to 22 carbon atoms and can be either linear or branched. Primary linear and methyl-branched aliphatic radicals in the 2-position are preferred. Examples of such alkyl radicals are 1-octyl, 1-decyl, 1-lauryl, 1-myristyl, 1-cetyl and 1-stearyl. 1-Octyl, 1-decyl, 1-lauryl, 1-myristyl are particularly preferred. When using so-called "oxo alcohols" as starting materials, compounds with an odd number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain predominate.

The alkyl polyglycosides which can be used according to the invention can contain, for example, only one specific alkyl radical R ¹ . Usually, however, these compounds are made from natural fats and oils or mineral oils. In this case, the alkyl radicals R are mixtures corresponding to the starting compounds or corresponding to the respective working up of these compounds.

Particularly preferred are those alkyl polyglycosides in which R ¹ consists essentially of C ₈ and C ₀ alkyl groups, essentially C 12 and C ₄ alkyl groups, essentially C ₈ to C ₆ alkyl groups or essentially Cn - Until Cι ₆ alkyl groups.

Any mono- or oligosaccharides can be used as the sugar building block Z. Sugar with 5 or 6 carbon atoms and the corresponding oligosaccharides are usually used. Examples of such sugars are glucose, fructose, galactose, arabinose, ribose, xylose, lyxose, allose, old rose, mannose, gulose, idose, talose and sucrose. Preferred sugar components are glucose, fructose, galactose, arabinose and sucrose; Glucose is particularly preferred. The alkyl polyglycosides which can be used according to the invention contain on average 1.1 to 5 sugar units. Alkyl polyglycosides with x values from 1.1 to 1.6 are preferred. Alkyl glycosides in which x is 1.1 to 1.4 are very particularly preferred.

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 -COO ^(_) - or -SOs ^ group in the molecule. Particularly suitable zwitterionic surfactants are the so-called betaines such as the N-alkyl-N, N-dimethylammonium glycinate, for example the coconut alkyl dimethylammonium glycinate, N-acyl-aminopropyl-N, N-dimethylammonium glycinate, for example the coconut acylaminopropyl-dimethylammonium glycinate, and 2-alkyl-3-carboxylmethyl-3-hydroxyethyl-imidazolines each having 8 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl or acyl group, and also the cocoacylaminoethylhydroxyethylcarboxymethylglycinate. A preferred zwitterionic surfactant is the fatty acid amide derivative known under the NCI name Cocamidopropyl Betaine.

Ampholytic surfactants are also particularly suitable as co-surfactants. Ampholytic surfactants are understood to mean those surface-active compounds which, in addition to a C ₈ -C ₈ -alkyl or acyl group, have at least one free amino group in the molecule. contain group and at least one -COOH or -SO ₃ H group and are capable of forming internal salts. Examples of suitable ampholytic surfactants are N-alkylglycines, N-alkylpropionic acids, N-alkylaminobutyric acids, N-alkyliminodipropionic acids, N-hydroxyethyl-N-alkylamidopropylglycines, N-alkyltaurines, N-alkylsarcosines, 2-alkylaminopropionic acids and alkylaminoacetic acids, each with about 8 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl group. Particularly preferred ampholytic surfactants are N-cocoalkylaminopropionate, cocoacylaminoethylaminopropionate and C ₁ -C ₈ acyl sarcosine.

According to the invention, the cationic surfactants used can be, 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, e.g. B. cetyltrimethylammonium chloride, stearyltrimethylammonium chloride, distearyldimethylammonium chloride, lauryldimethylammonium chloride, lauryldimethylbenzylammonium chloride and tricetylmethylammonium chloride, as well as the imidazolium compounds known under the INCI names quatemium-27 and quaternium-83. The long alkyl chains of the above-mentioned surfactants preferably have 10 to 18 carbon atoms.

Ester quats are known substances which contain both at least one ester function and at least one quaternary ammonium group as a structural element. Preferred ester quats are quaternized ester salts of fatty acids with triethanolamine, quaternized ester salts of fatty acids with diethanolalkylamines and quaternized ester salts of fatty acids with 1,2-dihydroxypropyldialkylamines. Such products are sold, for example, under the brands Stepantex ^® , Dehyquart ^® and Armocare ^® . The products Armocare ^® VGH-70, a N, N-bis (2-Palmitoyloxy- ethyl) dimethyl ammonium chloride, as well as Dehyquart ^® F-75 and Dehyquart ^® AU-35 are examples of such esterquats. The alkylamidoamines are usually produced by amidation of natural or synthetic fatty acids and fatty acid cuts with dialkylaminoamines. An inventively particularly suitable compound from this group of substances that available under the brand Tegoamid ^® S 18 commercially stearamidopropyl dimethylamine is.

The quaternized protein hydrolyzates are further cationic surfactants which can be used according to the invention.

Also suitable according to the invention are cationic silicone oils such as, for example, the commercially available products Q2-7224 (manufacturer: Dow Coming; a stabilized trimethylsilylamodimethicone), Dow Coming 929 emulsion (containing a hydroxylamino-modified silicone, which is also referred to as amodimethicone), SM-2059 (Manufacturer: General Electric), SLM-55067 (manufacturer: Wacker) and Abil ^® - Quat 3270 and 3272 (manufacturer: Th. Goldschmidt; diquaternary polydimethylsiloxanes, Quaternium-80).

An example of a quaternary sugar derivative that can be used as a cationic surfactant is the "Lauryl Methyl Gluceth-10 Hydroxypropyl Dimonium Chloride" by the HAHndndellellpprroodduktkt GGlluuccqquuaatt ^®® 110000 ddaarr ,, according to IINCI nomenclature.

The compounds with alkyl groups used as surfactant can each be uniform substances. However, it is generally preferred to use native vegetable or animal raw materials in the production of these substances, so that substance mixtures with different alkyl chain lengths depending on the respective raw material are obtained. 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 when converting fatty alcohol and alkylene oxide using alkali metals, alkali metal hydroxides or alkali metal alcoholates. In 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.

Furthermore, the colorants according to the invention can contain further active ingredients, auxiliaries and additives, such as, for example, nonionic polymers such as, for example, vinylpyrrolidone / vinyl acrylate copolymers, polyvinylpyrrolidone and vinylpyrrolidone / vinyl acetate copolymers and polysiloxanes, cationic polymers such as quaternized cellulose ethers, polysiloxanes with quaternized cellulose ethers , Dimethyldiallylammonium chloride polymers, acrylamide-dimethyldiallyl-ammonium chloride copolymers, dimethylamino-ethyl methacrylate-vinylpyrrolidone copolymers quaternized with diethyl sulfate, vinylpyrrolidone-imidazolinium methochloride copolymers and quaternized polyvinylalphamido-methylethyl alcohol, zamperidyl chloride, for example, aminotrophonyl polymers, for example, amido-methylammonyl chloride, zwitterionyl chloride Copolymers and octylacrylamide / methyl methacrylate / tert-butylaminoethyl methacrylate / 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate copolymers, anionic polymers such as, for example, polyacrylic acids, crosslinked polyacrylic acids, vinyl acetate / crotonic acid-C opolymers, vinyl pyrrolidone / vinyl acrylate copolymers, vinyl acetate / butyl maleate isobomylacrylate copolymers, methyl vinyl ether maleic anhydride copolymers and acrylic acid / ethyl acrylate / N-tert-butyl acrylamide terpolymers, Thickeners such as agar agar, guar gum, alginates, xanthan gum, gum arabic, karaya gum, locust bean gum, linseed gums, dextrans,

With regard to further optional components and the amounts of these components used, reference is expressly made to the relevant manuals known to the person skilled in the art, e.g. B. Kh. Schrader, Fundamentals and Recipes of Cosmetics, 2nd edition, Hüthig Buch Verlag, Heidelberg, 1989.

The agents according to the invention preferably contain the dye precursors in a suitable aqueous, alcoholic or aqueous-alcoholic carrier. For the purpose of Hair coloring are such carriers, for example creams, emulsions, gels or also surfactant-containing foaming solutions, such as shampoos, aerosols or other preparations which are suitable for use on the hair. However, it is also conceivable to integrate the dye precursors into a powdery or tablet-like formulation.

For the purposes of the present invention, aqueous-alcoholic solutions are understood to mean aqueous solutions containing 3 to 70% by weight of a CpC ₄ alcohol, in particular ethanol or isopropanol. The agents according to the invention can additionally contain other organic solvents, such as methoxybutanol, benzyl alcohol, ethyl diglycol or 1,2-propylene glycol. All water-soluble organic solvents are preferred.

The actual oxidative coloring of the fibers can basically be done 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. According to the invention, however, the oxidation coloring agent can also be applied to the hair together with a catalyst which oxidizes the dye precursors, e.g. activated by atmospheric oxygen. Such catalysts are e.g. Metal ions, iodides, quinones or certain enzymes.

Suitable metal ions are, for example, Zn ²⁺ , Cu ²⁺ , Fe ²⁺ , Fe ³⁺ , Mn ²⁺ , Mn ⁺ , Li ⁺ , Mg ²⁺ , Ca ²⁺ and Al ³⁺ . Zn ²⁺ , Cu ²⁺ and Mn ²⁺ are particularly suitable. In principle, the metal ions can be used in the form of any physiologically acceptable salt or in the form of a complex compound. Preferred salts are the acetates, sulfates, halides, lactates and tartrates. By using these metal salts, the formation of the coloring can be accelerated and the color shade can be influenced in a targeted manner. Suitable enzymes are, for example, peroxidases, which can significantly increase the effect of small amounts of hydrogen peroxide. Furthermore, such enzymes are suitable according to the invention which directly oxidize the oxidation dye precursors with the help of atmospheric oxygen, such as for example the laccases, or generate small amounts of hydrogen peroxide in situ and in this way 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 therefor, for example pyranose oxidase and for example D-glucose or galactose, glucose oxidase and D-glucose, glycerol oxidase and glycerol, Pyruvate oxidase and pyruvic acid or its salts, alcohol oxidase and alcohol (MeOH, EtOH), lactate oxidase and lactic acid and its salts, tyrosinase oxidase and tyrosine, uricase and uric acid or their salts, choline oxidase and choline, amino acid oxidase and Amino acids.

The actual hair dye is expediently prepared immediately before use by mixing the preparation of the oxidizing agent with the preparation containing the dye precursors. The resulting ready-to-use hair dye preparation should preferably have a pH in the range from 6 to 12. It is particularly preferred to use the hair dye in a weakly alkaline environment. Application temperatures can range between 15 and 40 ° C. After an exposure time of generally 5 to 45 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 surfactant content, such as a coloring shampoo, has been used. In the case of hair that is difficult to dye, the preparation with the dye precursors can also be applied to the hair without prior mixing with the oxidation component. After an exposure time of 20 to 30 minutes, the oxidation component is then applied, if necessary after an intermediate rinse. After a further exposure time of 10 to 20 minutes, the skin is rinsed and, if necessary, re-shampooed. In this embodiment, according to a first variant, in which the previous application of the dye precursors is said to bring about better penetration into the hair, the corresponding agent is adjusted to a pH of about 4 to 7. According to a second variant, air oxidation is initially sought, the agent applied preferably having a pH of 7 to 10. In the subsequent accelerated postoxidation, the use of acidified peroxidisulfate solutions as the oxidizing agent can be preferred.

A second subject of the present application is the use of the m-phenylenediamine derivatives according to the invention for dyeing keratin fibers.

A third object of the present invention is a process for dyeing keratin fibers, in which a hair dye according to the invention is applied to the fibers and rinsed off again after an exposure time.

A fourth object of the present invention is 1,3-bis - [(2-hydroxyethyl) amino] - 4,6-dimethoxy-5-methylbenzene.

A fifth object of the present invention are synthetic intermediates selected from 2-chloroethyl-5 - {[2-chloroethoxy) carbonyl] amino} -2,4-dimethoxy-3-methylphenylcarbamate and 3- [2,4-dimethoxy-3-methyl -5- (2-oxo-l, 3-oxazolidin-3-yl) phenyl] -l .3-oxazolidin-2-one.
