Description

"New p-aminophenol derivatives and their use"

The invention relates to new p-aminophenol derivatives, their use for dyeing keratin fibers and dyes containing these compounds.

For dyeing keratin fibers, especially human hair, the so-called oxidation colorants play a preferred role because of their intense colors and good fastness properties. Such colorants contain oxidation dye precursors, so-called developer components and coupler components. The developer components form the actual dyes under the influence of oxidizing agents or atmospheric oxygen with one another or under coupling with one or more coupler components.

Good oxidation dye precursors must first of all meet 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 and the influence of chemical reducing agents, e.g. B. against perm fluids. After all, if they are used as hair colorants, they should not stain the scalp too much, and above all they should be harmless from a toxicological and dermatological point of view.

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 its derivatives used.

Special 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-aminopyrazolone-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, resorcinol monomethyl ether, m-phenylenediamine, l-phenyl -3-methyl-pyrazolone-5, 2,4-dichloro-3-aminophenol, 1,3-bis (2,4-diaminophenoxy) propane, 2-chloro-resorcinol, 4-chloro-resorcinol, 2 -Chlor-6-methyl-3-aminophenol, 2-amino-4-hydroxypyridine, 2-methylresorcinol, 5-methylresorcinol and 2-methyl-4-chloro-5-aminophenol.

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 components.

It was therefore the object of the present invention to find new developer components which meet the requirements for oxidation dye precursors to a particular degree. It has now been found that certain, previously unknown, p-aminophenol derivatives meet the requirements placed on developer components in a particularly high degree. Thus, using these developer components with most known coupler components, brilliant color shades are obtained, especially in the brown and red range. The dyeings achieved are characterized by extraordinary light and wash fastness.

A first subject of the present invention are therefore

p-aminophenol derivatives of the general formula (I),

in the

- A, B, C and D independently of one another represent an -OH or -NHR group, in which R represents a hydrogen atom or a C -alkyl radical, with the proviso that either A or B and C or D are each there is a hydroxy group,

- X stands for oxygen, sulfur, a sulfoxy or a sulfoxyl group and

- R ¹ and R ² independently of one another represent hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, a C _M alkyl or hydroxyalkyl group or a C 1- dihydroxy alkyl group, preferably a C ₂ dihydroxy alkyl group.

These compounds can be prepared using known organic synthesis methods. With regard to the details, reference is expressly made to the synthesis example detailed in the example section. Since all of the substances according to the invention are amino compounds, the known acid addition salts can be prepared from them in a conventional manner. All statements in this document and accordingly the claimed scope of protection therefore relate both to the p-aminophenol derivatives according to formula (I) which are present in free form and to their water-soluble, physiologically tolerable salts. Examples of such salts are the hydrochlorides, the hydrobromides, the sulfates, the phosphates, the acetates, the propionates, the citrates and the lactates.

Furthermore, hydrogen has proven to be a particularly suitable radical R ¹ and R ² in p-aminophenol derivatives according to formula (I).

Finally, those p-aminophenol derivatives according to formula (I) have proven to be particularly suitable according to the invention in which the substituents R ¹ and R ² , A and C and B and D are in each case the same.

A substance which is outstandingly suitable in the sense of the invention is 4-amino-2 - (((5-amino-2-hydroxyphenyl) methoxy) methyl) phenol.

A second object of the present invention is the use of the aforementioned p-aminophenol derivatives as a developer component in oxidation colorants. Finally, a third object of the present invention are oxidation colorants for dyeing keratin fibers containing coupler components and developer components in a water-containing carrier, which contain one of the aforementioned p-aminophenol derivatives as developer component.

The hair colorants according to the invention preferably contain both the developer components and the coupler components in an amount of 0.005 to 20% by weight, preferably 0.1 to 5% by weight, based in each case on the total oxidation colorant. there developer components and coupler components are generally used in approximately molar amounts to one another. If the molar use has also proven to be expedient, a certain excess of individual oxidation dye precursors is not disadvantageous, so that developer components and coupler components in a molar ratio of 1: 0.5 to 1: 3, in particular 1: 1 to 1: 2 , can be included.

In a preferred embodiment, the hair colorants according to the invention contain, in addition to the oxidation dye precursors, customary direct dyes for further modification of the color shades.

With regard to the dyes which can be used in the hair colorants and tints 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; Oxidationsfarbstoffvoφrodukte), published as volume 7 of the "Dermatology" series (publisher: Ch. Culnan and H. Maibach), published by Marcel Dekker Inc., New York, Basel, 1986, and the "European inventory of cosmetic raw materials" from the European Community, available in diskette form from the Federal Association of German Industry and Commerce for Medicines, Reformed Products and Body Care Products, Mannheim.

To produce the colorants according to the invention, the oxidation dye precursors are incorporated into a suitable water-containing carrier. For the purpose of hair coloring, such carriers are e.g. Creams, emulsions, gels or also surfactant-containing foaming solutions, e.g. Shampoos, aerosols or other preparations that are suitable for use on the hair.

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, in principle both anionic and zwitterionic, am- pholytic, nonionic and cationic surfactants are suitable. In many cases, however, it has proven advantageous to select the surfactants from anionic, zwitterionic or nonionic surfactants.

The compounds with alkyl groups used as surfactants can each be uniform substances. However, it is generally preferred to start from natural 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. Distribution can be used. “Normal” homolog distribution is understood to mean mixtures of homologues which are obtained as catalysts when converting 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.

Other active ingredients, auxiliaries and additives are, 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 quaternary groups, dimethyldiallyium chloride, ammonium ammonium amide, dimethyldiallylammonylammonylammonylammonium copolymers quaternized with diethyl sulfate thylaminoethylmethacrylat dimethyl-vinylpyrrolidone copolymers, vinylpyrrolidone-imidazolidinone niummethochlorid copolymers and quaternized polyvinyl alcohol, zwitterionic and amphoteric polymers such as, for example, acrylamidopropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride / acrylate copolymers and octylacrylamide / methyl methacrylates lat / tert. Butylaminoethyl methacrylate / 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate copolymers, anionic polymers such as, for example, polyacrylic acids, crosslinked polyacrylic acids, vinyl acetate / crotonic acid copolymers, vinylpyrrolidone / vinyl acrylate copolymers, vinyl acetate t / butyl maleate / isobomylacrylate copolymers, methyl vinyl ether / maleic anhydride copolymers and acrylic acid / ethyl acrylate / Ν-butyl acrylamide teφolymers,

Protein hydrolyzates, especially elastin, collagen, keratin, milk protein. Soy protein and wheat protein hydrolyzates, their condensation products with fatty acids and quaternized protein hydrolyzates, perfume oils, dimethyl isosorbide and cyclodextrins,

Solubilizers such as ethanol, isopropanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerin and diethylene glycol,

Anti-dandruff agents such as piroctone olamine and zinc omadine, other substances for adjusting the pH value,

Active ingredients such as panthenol, pantothenic acid, allantoin, pyrrolidone carboxylic acids and their salts, plant extracts and vitamins, cholesterol, light stabilizers,

Consistency generators such as sugar esters, polyol esters or polyol alkyl ethers, fats and waxes such as walrus, beeswax, montan wax, paraffins, fatty alcohols and fatty acid esters, fatty acid alkanolamides,

Complexing agents such as EDTA, NTA and phosphonic acids,

Swelling and penetration substances such as glycerol, propylene glycol monoethyl ether, carbonates, hydrogen carbonates, guanidines, ureas and primary, secondary and tertiary phosphates,

Opacifiers like latex,

Pearlescent agents such as ethylene glycol mono- and distearate,

Blowing agents such as propane-butane mixtures, N ₂ O, dimethyl ether, CO ₂ and air as well as antioxidants. The constituents of the water-containing carrier are used to produce the colorants according to the invention in amounts customary for this purpose: for example, emulsifiers are used in concentrations of 0.5 to 30% by weight and thickeners in concentrations of 0.1 to 25% by weight of the total Colorant used.

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 its adducts with urea, melamine and sodium borate are suitable as oxidizing agents. It is also possible to carry out the oxidation with the aid of enzymes. The enzymes can be used to transfer atmospheric oxygen to the developer component or to enhance the effect of small amounts of oxidizing agents present. An example of an enzymatic process is the procedure to increase the effect of small amounts (e.g. 1% and less, based on the total agent) of hydrogen peroxide by peroxidases.

The preparation of the oxidizing agent is expediently mixed with the preparation from the oxidation dye pre-products 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 that contains a lot of surfactants, e.g. a coloring shampoo was used.

The following examples are intended to explain the subject of the invention in more detail. Examples

The ingredients were mixed together in order. With appropriate reductions in the water content, direct dyes were optional admitted. After the addition of the oxidation dye products and the inhibitor, the pH of the emulsion was first adjusted to 10 with concentrated ammonia solution, and the mixture was then made up to 100 g with water.

The oxidative development of the color was carried out with 3% hydrogen peroxide solution as the oxidation solution. For this purpose, 100 g of the emulsion were mixed with 50 g of hydrogen peroxide solution (9%) and mixed.

The coloring cream was applied to approx. 5 cm long strands of standardized, 90% gray, but not specially pretreated human hair and left there at 32 ° C for 30 minutes. After the dyeing process was completed, the hair was rinsed, washed with a conventional shampoo and then dried. The following coupler and developer components or substantive dyes were used for the colorations:
