Description

United States Patent Int. (:1. $61k 7/12 US. Cl. 8-10 6 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A hair dye composition comprising a solution having a pH of 3 to 10 containing an effective amount of a hair dye selected from the group having the formula:

in which n is 1 to 4 and the method of dyeing hair with this composition.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 544,079, filed Apr. 21, 1966, which is now US. Pat. 3,532,743 dated Oct. 6, 1970.

Nitroparaphenylenediamine is a well known ingredient in hair dyeing solutions. This dye, when cold, has an excellent afiinity for keratinic fibers, but is incapable of producing any colors other than red-orange shades.

On the other hand, in order to produce deeper shades,

that is to say, shades tending toward green, the use of substituted derivatives of nitroparaphenylenediamine has been suggested. In particular, it has been found that the introduction of a CH radical on the amine function in the meta position with respect to the N0 radical of nitroparaphenylenediamine deepens the shade. However, the products obtained in this manner can be used only within a relatively restricted range of pH values on either side of the neutral point.

The purpose of the present invention is to alleviate this difiiculty by providing new dyes which produce even deeper shades, that is to say, tending more toward the blue, which may be used over a wider range of acid pH values. The object of the invention is therefore to provide a new article of manufacture which consists of a dye for keratinic fibers and especially for hair, which dye is essentially characterized by the fact that it contains an eifective dyeing amount of at least one derivative of nitroparaphenylenediamine selected from the group having the formula:

in which n is 1 to 4, having a pH of 3 to 10.

Use of the dyes of this invention makes it possible to obtain deep shades in the blue portion of the spectrum over a wide range of acid pH values and especially between pH 3 and pH 10.

A further object of the present invention is to provide a new method of dyeing keratinic fibers, and especially human hair, which method is essentially characterized by the fact that an aqueous solution comprising at least one dye of this invention is applied to the hair, and that after from about 15 to 40 minutes of application the hair is rinsed, shampooed, and dried.

In order that the invention may be better understood, several embodiments thereof will now be described, purely by way of example.

3 EXAMPLE 1 Prparation of 1-methylamino-2-nitro-4- (N,N-methylcarboxymethyl) aminobenzene The above compound is prepared by a new method essentially characterized by the fact that the primary amine function of 1-amino-2-nitro-4-N,N-methylcarbamylmethylamino benzene is blocked, using para-toluene sulfochloride, for example, after which a methyl radical is substituted for the free hydrogen remaining on this primary amine function, using for example methyl sulfate in a basic medium. The tosyl radical fixed in the first step of the process is then eliminated, using concentrated sulfuric acid, for example. The amide function of the resulting compound is then hydrolyzed with concentrated hydrochloric acid, for example and the monohydrochloride of l methylamino 2-nitro-4-(N,N-methylcarboxymethyl) amino benzene results. The process which has just been described is schematically represented by the following diagram:

The mixture is kept at 45 C. for 4 hours and then poured into 4 liters of ice water to which 525 cm. of concentrated hydrochloric acid has been added.

The solution is then filtered to eliminate any of the initial product which remains uncombined. After the filtrate has been acidified with hydrochloric acid it yields on drying 229 g. of paratoluene-1-sulfonylamino-2-nitro-4-(N,N-methylcarbamylmethyl)amino benzene which after recrystallization in alcohol, melts at 181 C.
