Description

United States Patent ()flice 3,563,684 Patented Feb. 16, 1971 Int. Cl. A61k 7/12 US. Cl. 8-11 7 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention relates to dyeing keratinic fibers with a l-amino-4-amino-benzene which can have halogen, alkyl or alkoxy groups on the benzene ring and a coupler selected from the group consisting of substituted phenols, R COCH COR and in which R and R are both Cl-I R is CH and R is OC H and R is phenyl and R is OOzH and Z is a sulphophenyl or chloro-sulphophenyl.

This invention relates to new compositions for use in dyeing hair and to other keratinic fibers.

It is known in the dyeing of hair to use primary paradiamines in conjunction with couplers whereby various shades of colour can be obtained. However, this procedure is not entirely satisfactory, because the colours obtained are not stable and deteriorate substantially on keeping. Moreover, it is not easy to obtain a predetermined shade by reason of the fact that the final shade results from the superimposition of two dyes, namely a first dye obtained by means of the p-diamine, which in itself has a dyeing eifect, and a second dye obtained by means of the p-diamine and the coupler.

It has also been proposed to use solutions which comprise at least one N-disubstituted p-diamine and a coupler consisting either of a hydroxylated aromatic derivative, a B-diketone or a pyrazolone derivative, the p-diamine and the coupler, taken separately, having only a very low dyeing power, so that the shade obtained results solely from the interaction between the p-diamine and the coupler.

The present invention provides a means of dyeing hair and other keratinic fibres by the conjoint use of p-diamines and certain couplers which produce dyestuffs that have exceptional stability to light for periods of the order of 12 months, which is an ample time with regard to the dyeing of human hair.

On the other hand, although the p-diamines of this invention are capable when used alone, of forming an intense coloration which may range from light brown to black, their association with the couplers of the invention brings about a formation of dyestuffs which are much more rapid than when the p-diamine is used alone. Consequently, the formation of the browns due to the pdiamine is insignificant as compared with the formation of the dye obtained by the p-diamine-coupler association,

and the final shade obtained depends upon this dye and not on the combination of two separate dyes.

The dyeing compositions of the invention comprise a compound of Formula I and at least one coupler of 5 Formulas II, III or IV, the Formula I being:

in which X and Y, which can be the same or different, each represent hydrogen, halogen, alkyl or alkoxy; Y being capable to come at any one of the free positions; Formula II being:

in which:

R represents OCH in the 4-position and R represents H or CH, in the 2-position, or

R represents H or -CH in the 6-position and R in the 3-position is represented by: -CH -OCH NHCOCH NHCH CONH or NHCOCH N(C H or R represents CH in the 6-position and R represents a halogen in the 3- or 5-position; Formula I=II being:

in which R and R are both CH or R represents CH and R represents OC H or R represents phenyl and R represents 00211 and Formula 1V being:

H2O C-OH5 in which: Z represents a phenyl, 3-sulphophenyl, 4-su1- phophenyl or 2-chloro-5-sulphophenyl radical. In Formula I where X or Y is an alkyl or alkoxy radical it is preferably methyl, methoxy, ethyl or ethoxy; and where X or Y is halogen it is preferably chlorine.

An essential feature of the invention resides in the fact that the ratio of the molecular concentration of the pdiamine to the molecular concentration of the coupler or couplers employed should be always less than unity.

The dye compositions of the invention are conveniently used in the form of aqueous solutions having a pH of from 6 to 10. The compositions can contain dyestufis other than those of the invention, for instance ones which may be used under the same conditions as diirect dye- 3 stuffs, for example azo dyestuffs, or dyestuffs produced, in accordance with our French patent application No. 943,485 of Aug. 1, 1963, from the same couplers and an N-disubstituted p-diamine. The compositions can also con tain wetting agents, dispersing agents, penetration agents and other ingredients generally employed for hair dyeing.

The dyeing solutions according to the invention provide a wide range of shades. Thus, use of couplers of Formula II gives blue shades, couplers of the Formula III give yellow shades and couplers of the Formula IV give red shades. Moreover, it is possible by using mixtures of two couplers belonging to the Formulae II, III or IV in various proportions, with the p-diamine, to obtain all shades lying between the colours obtained when each of the couplers is used alone with the p-diamine.

In other words, it will be seen that, by using a limited number of p-diamines and couplers of the invention it is possible by choosing suitable pairs of p-diamines and couplers, and if desired simultaneously using a number of couplers, to obtain a whole range of shades suitable for hair dyes.

Moreover, the dyes formed by the inventive dye solutions have been found to be exceptionally resistant to ageing with no chemical evolution of the dyeing products obtained.

The present invention has also for its object a new process of hair dyeing, said process being essentially characterized by that after having added hydrogen peroxide thereto, one applies on the hair a dyeing solution such as above defined, said hair being afterwards rinsed, shampooed, washed and dried.
