Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to colorants for oxidative dyeing of keratin fibers, particularly human hair, containing 2-amino-5-aminomethyl-phenol derivatives as dye component and to novel 2-amino-5-aminomethyl-phenol derivatives.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Oxidation dyes have become very important for the coloring of keratin fibers, particularly in the field of hair coloring. In this case, the color is created by reaction of certain developers with certain couplers in the presence of an appropriate oxidant. Suitable developers for this purpose are, in particular, 2,5-diaminotoluene, 2,5-diaminophenylethyl alcohol, p-aminophenol and 1,4-diaminobenzene. Suitable couplers are, for example, resorcinol, 4-chlororesorcinol, 1-naphthol, 3-aminophenol and derivatives of m-phenylenediamine.


Oxidation dyes used for coloring human hair must meet numerous requirements besides producing colorations of a desired intensity. The dyes must be toxicologically and dermatologically harmless, and the resulting hair colors must have good light, permanent wave, acid, and rubbing resistance. The hair colors must also remain stable for a period of at least four to six weeks in the absence of light, rubbing, and chemicals. In addition, it must be possible, by means of a combination of appropriate developers and couplers, to create a wide range of different color shades.


The adjustment of lighter color shades presents a special problem in terms of uniform dye uptake from the hair roots to the hair tips and in terms of resistance of the colorations to permanent wave treatment. The use of direct yellow-dyeing aromatic nitro dyes together with oxidative hair dye precursors represents a partial solution of the said problem, but the stability of the colorations over a period of several weeks is often unsatisfactory.


To solve the said problem, DE 28 33 989 A1 proposes the use of 2-amino-5-methylphenol as a yellow dyeing oxidative dye in oxidative hair colorants. Although this compound is well suited as shade-adjustment agent for the creation of bright blond shades and gold shades, it does not fully meet requirements. The use of special 2-Amino-5-aminomethyl-phenols in oxidative colorants is also described in WO 02/058654 A1.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

We have now found that new 2-amino-5-aminomethyl-phenol derivatives of the general formula (I) provide bright blond to gold color shades, and that the requirements placed on such agents, particularly as regards wash fastness, light fastness, and rubbing fastness, are met to an unusually high degree.

The compounds of formula (I) can be used as free bases or in the form of their physiologically tolerated salts with inorganic or organic acids such as, for example, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, lactic acid, or citric acid.


The 2-amino-5-aminomethyl-phenol derivatives of formula (I) can be prepared by known synthetic methods, for example by reductive amination of 3-hydroxy-4-nitro-benzaldehyde with a heterocyclic primary amine followed by reduction of the nitro group, or by condensation of 3-hydroxy-4-nitro-benzoic acid with a heterocyclic primary amine, followed by the reduction of the nitro and amide group.


Another object of the present invention are agents for oxidative coloring of keratin fibers, for example wool, furs, feathers, or hair, particularly human hair, containing at least one 2-amino-5-aminomethyl-phenol derivative of formula (I).


The colorants of the invention contain the 2-amino-5-aminomethyl-phenol derivative of formula (I) in an amount from about 0.005 to 20% by weight, an amount from about 0.01 to 5.0% by weight, and particularly from 0.1 to 2.5% by weight being especially preferred.


Hair coloring compositions of this invention can contain the 2-amino-5-aminomethyl-phenol derivative of formula (I) as a sole colorant, or in combination with known couplers and developers, in order to enlarge the color shade palette.


Thus 2-amino-5-aminomethyl-phenol derivatives of formula (I) provide as a sole colorant intense yellow to yellow-orange color shades. To achieve additional color shades, which are unusually resistant to washing, common oxidative dyes, for example developers or couplers alone or in admixture with one another, can be added.


By use of 2-amino-5-aminomethyl-phenol derivatives of formula (I) in a 1:1 combination with most common coupler or developer components, intense yellow, gold yellow and blond color shades are obtained. The combination with pyrazole derivatives give intense violet color shades.

In general, the developers and couplers are used in about equimolar amounts. It is not disadvantageous, however, to use the developer in a certain excess or deficiency, for example in a coupler-developer-ratio of from 1:2 to 1:0.5.

Moreover, the colorants, if they are intended for coloring hair, can contain other common cosmetic additives, for example antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, thioglycolic acid, or sodium sulfite, as well as perfumes, complexing agents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, thickeners, and hair-care agents. The form in which the colorant preparations of the invention appear can be, for example, that of a solution, particularly an aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic solution. Particularly preferred preparation forms, however, are creams, gels, or emulsions. Their composition consists of a mixture of dye components and the usual additives for such preparations.


Conventional additives to solutions, creams, emulsions, or gels are: for example, solvents such as water, the lower aliphatic alcohols, for example ethanol, propanol or isopropanol, glycerol or glycols such as 1,2-propylene glycol; moreover wetting agents or emulsifiers from the class of anionic, cationic, amphoteric, or nonionic surfactants, such as fatty alcohol sulfates, ethoxylated fatty alcohol sulfates, alkylsulfonates, alkylbenzenesulfonates, alkyltrimethylammonium salts, alkylbetaines, ethoxylated fatty alcohols, ethoxylated nonylphenols, fatty alkanolamides, ethoxylated fatty esters; furthermore thickeners, such as the fatty alcohols, starch, or cellulose derivatives; furthermore vaseline, paraffin oil, and fatty acids as well as hair-care agents such as cationic resins, lanolin derivatives, cholesterol, pantothenic acid, and betaine. The said constituents are employed in amounts normally used for such purposes, for example the wetting agents and emulsifiers in an amount from about 0.5 to 30% by weight, the thickeners in an amount from about 0.1 to 25% by weight, and the hair-care agents at a concentration of about 0.1 to 5% by weight.


Depending on the composition, the colorant of the invention can be weakly acidic, neutral, or alkaline. In particular, it has a pH from 6.8 to 11.5.


According to the present invention for pH adjustment in the alkaline range the composition may further optionally comprise at least one source of alkalizing agent, preferably a source of ammonium ions and or ammonia. Any agent known in the art may be used such as alkanolamides, for example, monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, monopropanolamine, dipropanolamine, tripropanolamine, 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, and 2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-propanediol and guanidium salts. Particularly, preferred alkalizing agents are those which provide a source of ammonium ions. Any source of ammonium ions is suitable for use herein. Preferred sources include ammonium chloride, ammonium sulphate, ammonium nitrate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium acetate, ammonium carbonate, ammonium hydrogen carbonate, ammonium carbamate, ammonium hydroxide, percarbonate salts, ammonia, and mixtures thereof. Particularly preferred are ammonium carbonate, ammonium carbamate, ammonium hydrogen carbonate, ammonia, and mixtures thereof or a mixture of ammonia and organic amines (particularly monoethanolamine or triethanolamine). The compositions of the present invention may comprise from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight, preferably from about 0.5% to about 5%, most preferably from about 1% to about 3% of an alkalizing agent, preferably ammonium ions.


For pH adjustment in the acidic range, an inorganic or organic acid, for example phosphoric acid, acetic acid, citric acid, or tartaric acid, may be used.


The compositions according to the present invention may comprise at least one source of an oxidizing agent for developing the hair color. Preferred oxidizing agents for use herein are water-soluble peroxygen oxidizing agents. “Water-soluble” as defined herein means that in standard condition at least 0.1 g, preferably 1 g, more preferably 10 g of said oxidizing agent can be dissolved in 1 liter of deionized water. The oxidizing agents are valuable for the initial solubilization and decolorization of the melanin (bleaching) and accelerate the oxidation of the oxidative dye precursors (oxidative dyeing) in the hair shaft.


Any oxidizing agent known in the art may be utilized in the present invention. Preferred water-soluble oxidizing agents are inorganic peroxygen materials capable of yielding hydrogen peroxide in an aqueous solution. Water-soluble peroxygen oxidizing agents are well known in the art and include hydrogen peroxide, inorganic alkali metal peroxides such as sodium periodate and sodium peroxide, and organic peroxides such as urea peroxide, melamine peroxide, and inorganic perhydrate salt bleaching compounds, such as the alkali metal salts of perborates, percarbonates, perphosphates, persilicates, persulphates, and the like. These inorganic perhydrate salts may be incorporated as monohydrates, tetrahydrates etc. Alkyl and aryl peroxides, and or peroxidases may also be used. Mixtures of two or more such oxidizing agents can also be used if desired. The oxidizing agents may be provided in aqueous solution or as a powder which is dissolved prior to use. Preferred for use in the compositions according to the present invention are hydrogen peroxide, percarbonate, persulphates, and combinations thereof.


According to the present invention the compositions comprise from about 0.1% to about 15% by weight, preferably from about 1% to about 10% by weight, and most preferably from about 2% to about 7% by weight of an oxidizing agent.


Another preferred oxidizing agent for use herein is a source of peroxymonocarbonate ions. Preferably such a source is formed in situ from a source of hydrogen peroxide and a hydrogen carbonate ion source. Such an oxidizing agent has been found to be particularly effective at a pH of up to and including 9.5, preferably 7.5 to 9.5, more preferably about pH 9. Moreover, this system is also particularly effective in combination with a source of ammonia or ammonium ions. It has been found that this oxidizing agent can deliver improvements to the desired hair color results particularly with regard to the delivery of high lift, while considerably reducing the odor, skin and scalp irritation and damage to the hair fibers.


Accordingly, any source of these ions may be utilized. Suitable sources for use herein include sodium, potassium, guanidine, arginine, lithium, calcium, magnesium, barium, ammonium salts of carbonate, carbamate and hydrocarbonate ions, and mixtures thereof such as sodium carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate, potassium carbonate, potassium hydrogen carbonate, guanidine carbonate, guanidine hydrogen carbonate, lithium carbonate, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, barium carbonate, ammonium carbonate, ammonium hydrogen carbonate, and mixtures thereof. Percarbonate salts may also be utilized to provide both the source of carbonate ions and oxidizing agent.

Synthesis of 2-amino-5-[(2-pyridinylamino)methyl]phenol
1.1 Synthesis of 2-nitro-5-[(2-pyridinylamino)methyl]phenol

20.0 g (0.12 mole) of 3-hydroxy-4-nitro-benzaldehyde and 14.7 g (0.156 mole) of 2-aminopyridine were dissolved in 450 ml of 1,2-dichloroethane and the resulting mixture was heated to reflux for 6 hours using a water separator. The reaction mixture was then allowed to cool to room temperature. In small portions 10 g (0.156 mol) of acetic acid and 40.7 g (0.192 mol) of sodium triacetoxyborohydride were added to that mixture. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. It was then poured into 450 ml 10% NaHCO3. The organic layer was separated, and the aqueous phase was extracted with ethylacetate. The combined extracts were washed with water, evaporated, and the residue was purified over silicagel with ethylacetate to yield a brown compound, which was recristallized in ethylacetate/heptane to yield 19.3 g (65% of theory) of a brown powder.
