Abstract
The invention relates to a dye composition that is useful for dyeing keratin fibers, containing at least one oxidation base and at least one coupler of the 6-alkoxy-2,3-diaminopyridine type in which the amino radical in position 2 is a disubstituted amino radical, to the use of this composition for dyeing keratin fibers and to the dyeing process using this composition.
Description

The invention relates to a dye composition that is useful for dyeing keratin fibres, containing at least one oxidation base and at least one coupler of the 6-alkoxy-2,3-diaminopyridine type in which the amino radical in position 2 is a disubstituted amino radical, to the use of this composition for dyeing keratin fibres and to the dyeing process using this composition. The invention also relates to novel 6-alkoxy-2,3-diaminopyridine compounds that are useful as couplers.


It is known practice to dye keratin fibres, and in particular human hair, with dye compositions containing oxidation dye precursors, which are generally known as oxidation bases, such as ortho- or para-phenylenediamines, ortho- or para-aminophenols and heterocyclic couplers. These oxidation bases are colourless or weakly coloured compounds which, when combined with oxidizing products, can give rise to coloured compounds by a process of oxidative condensation.


It is also known that the shades obtained with these oxidation bases can be varied by combining them with couplers or coloration modifiers, these agents being chosen especially from aromatic meta-diamines, meta-aminophenols, meta-diphenols and certain heterocyclic compounds such as indole compounds.


The variety of molecules used as oxidation bases and couplers allows a wide range of colours to be obtained.


The “permanent” coloration obtained by means of these oxidation dyes must moreover satisfy a certain number of requirements. Thus, it must have no toxicological drawback, it must allow shades to be obtained in the desired strength, and it must show good fastness with respect to external agents such as light, bad weather, washing, permanent-waving, perspiration and rubbing.


The dyes must also allow white hair to be covered and, finally, they must be as unselective as possible, ie they must produce the smallest possible differences in coloration along the same keratin fibre, which is generally-differently sensitized (ie damaged) between its end and its root.


Document FR 1 397 551 describes dye compositions containing oxidation dye precursors of the trisubstituted pyridine derivative type, each of the substituents possibly being a hydroxyl, alkoxy, amino or NR1R2 radical with R1 and R2 representing a H, alkyl or aryl. The coloration is obtained either by oxidation in air or with an oxidizing medium containing aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution at basic pH. On account of the high oxidizability of these pyridine precursors, the dyeing results obtained on the hair have a tendency to change over time by changing colour, which turns out to be particularly unattractive.


Document DE 3 233 540 proposes hair dye compositions containing, as coupler, 6-alkoxy-3-aminopyridine derivatives substituted in position 2 with an NH2 or NHR3 radical with R3=H, C1–C4 alkyl or C2–C4 hydroxyalkyl in combination with standard oxidation bases. These compositions give, in the presence of certain bases such as para-phenylenediamine or para-toluenediamine, dark blue shades that are unstable to light and that lack strength and uniformity between the root and the end of the hairs.


Documents DE 4 115 148, FR 2 779 952, EP 728 464 and DE 199 36 442 propose to combine particular pyridine-based couplers of this type with specific oxidation bases such as pyrazolopyrimidine, para-aminophenol, pyrimidine or 4,5- or 3,4-diaminopyrazole bases.


However, none of these compositions make it possible to obtain strong colorations in varied shades that are uniform from the root to the end of the hairs, that show little selectivity and particularly good resistance, and that have good chromaticity.


This aim is achieved with the present invention, one subject of which is a dye composition comprising, in a medium that is suitable for dyeing,

  • at least one oxidation base, and
  • at least one 6-alkoxy-2,3-diaminopyridine coupler of formula (I) or a corresponding addition salt thereof:

The dye composition according to the invention may be in various forms, such as in the form of liquids, creams or gels, or in any other form that is suitable for dyeing keratin fibres, and especially human hair.


The process of the present invention is a process in which the composition according to the present invention as defined above is applied to the fibres, in the presence of an oxidizing agent, for a time that is sufficient to develop the desired coloration. The colour may revealed at acidic, neutral or alkaline pH and the oxidizing agent may be added to the composition of the invention just at the time of use, or it may be introduced using an oxidizing composition containing it, applied simultaneously with or sequentially to the composition of the invention.


According to one particular embodiment, the composition according to the present invention is mixed, preferably at the time of use, with a composition containing, in a medium that is suitable for dyeing, at least one oxidizing agent, this oxidizing agent being present in an amount that is sufficient to develop a coloration. The mixture obtained is then applied to the keratin fibres. After a leave-in time of 3 to 50 minutes approximately and preferably 5 to 30 minutes approximately, the keratin fibres are rinsed, washed with shampoo, rinsed again and then dried.


The oxidizing agents conventionally used for the oxidation dyeing of keratin fibres are, for example, hydrogen peroxide, urea peroxide, alkali metal bromates, persalts such as perborates and persulphates, peracids, and oxidase enzymes, among which mention may be made of peroxidases, 2-electron oxidoreductases such as uricases, and 4-electron oxygenases, for instance laccases. Hydrogen peroxide is particularly preferred.


The oxidizing composition may also contain various adjuvants conventionally used in hair dye compositions and as defined above.


The pH of the oxidizing composition containing the oxidizing agent is such that, after mixing with the dye composition, the pH of the resulting composition applied to the keratin fibres preferably ranges between 3 and 12 approximately and even more preferably between 5 and 11. It may be adjusted to the desired value by means of acidifying or basifying agents usually used in the dyeing of keratin fibres and as defined above.


The ready-to-use composition that is finally applied to the keratin fibres may be in various forms, such as in the form of liquids, creams or gels, or in any other form that is suitable for dyeing keratin fibres, and especially human hair.


The composition of the invention may be in the form of a kit. Such a kit comprises a composition as defined above on the one hand, and an oxidizing composition on the other hand.


A subject of the invention is also a multi-compartment device, in which a first compartment contains the dye composition of the present invention defined above and a second compartment contains an oxidizing agent. This device may be equipped with a means for applying the desired mixture to the hair, such as the devices described in patent FR 2 586 913 in the name of the Applicant.


Using this device, it is possible to dye keratin fibres using a process that involves mixing a dye composition of the invention with an oxidizing agent, and applying the mixture obtained to the keratin fibres for a time that is sufficient to develop the desired coloration.


Finally, a subject of the present invention is the 6-alkoxy-2,3-diaminopyridine compounds of formula (I), and the corresponding addition salts thereof as defined above, with the exception of 2-(N-methyl-N-(β-hydroxyethyl)amino)-3-amino-6-methoxypyridine.


These compounds may be synthesized according to the following synthetic scheme:




embedded image


The first step consists in reacting a 6-alkoxy-3-nitro-2-halopyridine derivative with an amine of the type HNR5R6 in which R5 and R6 have the same meanings given above, in a polar solvent with a boiling point of between 70° C. and 180° C. The reaction temperature varies, according to the pyridine derivatives and the nucleophilic amine, from 75° C. to 140° C. The solvent that will be chosen is preferably alcohols such as ethanol, isopropanol, butanol or pentanol, and also acetic acid, formic acid, dioxane or DMF.


The second step is a reduction reaction performed either by hydrogenation under heterogeneous catalysis, or by hydrogen transfer, or alternatively with metal hydrides or with a formic acid/acetic acid couple in the presence of palladium.


For example, the method, widely illustrated in the literature, of hydrogenation catalyzed with palladium(0), Pd (II) or Raney nickel or PtO2, is used.


The hydrogen-transfer reduction by reacting cyclohexene in the presence of palladium is also found to be very effective.


The examples that follow serve to illustrate the invention without, however, being limiting in nature.

The composition is mixed at the time of use with an equal weight of 20-volumes aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution (6% by weight). The pH of the final composition is equal to 7. The mixture obtained is applied to locks of grey hair containing 90% white hairs. After a leave-in time of 30 minutes, the locks are washed with a standard shampoo, rinsed and then dried. Each lock is evaluated before and after dyeing in the L*a*b* system, using a Minolta® CM 2002 spectrocolorimeter (luminant D65).


In the L*a*b* space, the lightness is indicated by the value L* on a scale from 0 to 100, while the chromatic coordinates are expressed by a* and b*, which indicate two colour axes, a* the red-green axis, and b* the yellow-blue axis. According to this system, the higher the value of L*, the lighter and weaker the colour. Conversely, the lower the value of L*, the darker or stronger the colour.
