Abstract
A hair treating composition containing certain substituted aminodiphenylamines as a first oxidation dye precursor, optionally at least one second oxidation dye precursor, optionally at least one substantive hair dye, and a cosmetic carrier; as well as a method for its use.
Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to hair treating compositions containing amine oxidation dye precursors such as developers and/or couplers.
2. Statement of the Related Art
Some hair treatment compositions used in hair dyeing contain oxidation dye precursors in a cosmetic carrier. The oxidation dye precursors used are developers and couplers which together form dyes by oxidative coupling with one another under the influence of oxidizing agents or atmospheric oxygen. The cosmetic carriers used for the oxidation dye precursors are creams, emulsions, gels, shampoos, foam aerosols or other preparations suitable for application to the hair.
By virtue of their intensive colors and good fastness properties, oxidation dyes, which are formed by the oxidative coupling of one or more developer components with one another or with one or more coupler components, play a prominent part in the dyeing of hair. The developer components used are normally primary aromatic amines containing additionally a free or substituted hydroxy or amine moiety in the para or ortho position, diaminopyridine derivatives, heterocyclic hydrazone derivatives, 4-aminopyrazolone derivatives and tetraaminopyrimidines. Useful couplers include m-phenylene diamine derivatives, naphthols, resorcinol derivatives and pyrazolones.
Good oxidation dye precursors have to satisfy above all the following requirements: (1) they must form the required shades with sufficient intensity and fastness during the oxidative coupling reaction; (2) they must be readily absorbed by human hair without excessively staining the scalp; and (3) they must be safe to use, above all from the toxicological and dermatological viewpoint.
Although p-phenylene diamine and several of its derivatives have long been known as oxidation dye precursors, it is also known that many of these compounds are neither toxicologically nor dermatologically safe because they show mutagenic and/or allergenic properties. Accordingly, there is considerable commercial interest in oxidation dye precursors which, on the one hand, produce intensive colors characterized by high fastness properties, and which on the other hand, are both toxicologically and dermatologically safe.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Other than in the operating examples, or where otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients, reaction conditions, or defining ingredient parameters used herein are to be understood as modified in all instances by the term "about".
It has now been found that hair dyes which contain certain first oxidation dye precursors (i.e. first couplers) in a cosmetic carrier and which contain second oxidation dye precursors (i.e. developer components and optionally second coupler components) normally used in oxidation dyes, satisfy the requirements stated above to a high degree and are safe to use, particularly in respect of their toxicological and dermatological properties.
The (first) oxidation dye precursor (i.e. coupler) useful in the hair treating compositions of this invention is at least one aminodiphenylamine corresponding to the following general formula or its water soluble salt: ##STR1## wherein: (a) one of R.sup.1 to R.sup.5 is --SO.sub.3 H, --COOH, or --CH.sub.2 --COOH;
(b) from 2 to 4 of R.sup.1 to R.sup.5 are H; and
(c) the remaining of R.sup.1 to R.sup.5 are independently C.sub.1-4 -alkyl, C.sub.1-4 -alkoxy, or Cl.
In the above formula I, preferred embodiments are wherein:
(a) one of R.sup.1 to R.sup.5 is --SO.sub.3 H or --COOH;
(b) 3 or 4 of R.sup.1 to R.sup.5 is H; and
(c) the remaining one of R.sup.1 to R.sup.5 (if any) is methyl (C.sub.1 -alkyl) or Cl, most preferably methyl.
The aminodiphenylamines corresponding to formula I may be introduced into the hair treating compositions according to the invention in free form (or in the form of their inner salts) or in the form of: (a) salts of the amino groups with inorganic or organic acids, for example in the form of the hydrochlorides, sulfates, phosphates, acetates, propionates, lactates or citrates; or (b) in the form of salts of the --SO.sub.3 H, --COOH and/or --CH.sub.2 --COOH-- group, for example the ammonium salts or the alkali metal (especially sodium) salts.
The aminodiphenylamines corresponding to formula I are suitable as couplers for a number of known developers and produce particularly brilliant dye finishes characterized by high heat and light stability and by high stability to permanent-wave treatment. Particular emphasis is placed on the especially attractive brown tones, which approach the natural color of hair, and which are obtained with developers of the aromatic diamine type.
Some of the compounds corresponding to formula I are known from the literature. Those compounds having this structure which are not known from the literature can be produced by methods known per se. Thus, 2,4,-diaminodiphenylamine-4'-sulfonic acid for example is disclosed in German Pat. No. 163,645. The production of 2,4,-diamino-4'-carboxydiphenylamine and 2,4-diamino-3'-carboxydiphenylamine is described in Journ. Prakt. Chem. (2) 91 (1915), pages 202-212. In general, aminodiphenylamines corresponding to formula I may be obtained by reaction of an aminobenzene derivative corresponding to the following formula ##STR2## in which the groups R.sup.1 to R.sup.5 have the meanings defined for formula I, with 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene and catalytic hydrogenation of the 2,4-dinitrodiphenylamines thus obtained to form the corresponding 2,4-diaminodiphenylamines. Some examples of the production of aminodiphenylamines which are believed to be novel are described in the examples which follow.
The developer (second oxidation dye precursor) components in the hair dyes according to the invention include aromatic amines containing one or more other NH.sub.2 -groups, NHR-groups, or NR.sub.2 -groups, where R is: a C.sub.1-4 -alkyl group; a C.sub.2-4 hydroxyalkyl group; an amino-C.sub.2-4 -alkyl group; aminophenols; aminophenolethers; diaminopyridine derivatives; or
2,4,5,6-tetraminopyrimidine and derivatives thereof, such as
4,5-diamino-2,6-bismethylaminopyrimidine,
2,5-diamino-4-diethyamino-6-methylaminopyrimidine,
2,4,5-triamino-6-anilinopyrimidine,
2,4,5-triamino-6-morpholinopyrimidine,
2,4,5-triamino-6-(2-hydroxyethyl)-aminopyrimidine.
Particularly intense and natural brown to gray shades are obtained where the new couplers are used in oxidation dyes together with developers of the aromatic diamine type and more particularly of the p-phenylene diamine derivative type.
Preferred developers of this type include
p-phenylene diamine,
p-tolylene diamine,
N-methyl-p-phenylene diamine,
N,N-dimethyl-p-phenylene diamine,
N-hydroxyethyl-p-phenylene diamine,
N,N-bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)-p-phenylene diamine,
N-ethyl-N-(2-hyroxyethyl)-p-phenylene diamine,
N,N-diethyl-2-methyl-p-phenylene diamine,
2-chloro-p-phenylene diamine,
2,6-dichloro-p-phenylene diamine,
2-chloro-6-methyl-p-phenylene diamine,
2-methoxy-p-phenylene diamine,
2,5-diaminoanisole,
6-methoxy-3-methyl-p-phenylene diamine,
N-(2-methoxyethyl)-p-phenylene diamine,
N-(2-hydroxypropyl)-p-phenylene diamine,
N-butyl-N-sulfobutyl-p-phenylene diamine,
N-(p-aminophenyl)-N',N'-bis-(.beta.hydroxyethyl)-1,3-diaminopropane or salts thereof with inorganic or organic acids.
In addition to the aminodiphenylamines corresponding to general formula I, the hair dyes according to the invention may also contain known other (second) couplers or oxidation dye precursors which are necessary for modifying the shades and for producing natural colors. Known second coupler compounds of the type in question include other n-phenylene diamines, for example 2,4-diaminophenyl-2-hydroxyethylether, 2,4-diaminoanisole or phenols, resorcinols, m-aminophenols, naphthols or pyrazolones.
Substantive dyes may also be additionally used for further modifying the shades. Useful substantive dyes include nitrophenylene diamines, nitroaminophenols, anthraquinone dyes or indophenols.
The aminodiphenylamines (first couplers or precursors) corresponding to formula I and the second coupler compounds additionally present, if any, are generally used in substantially equimolar quantities, based on the developer compounds employed. A certain excess of individual oxidation dye precursors is not a disadvantage, so that first and second precursors may be present in respective molar ratios of 1:0.5-2.
There is no need for the aminodiphenylamines corresponding to formula I and the second oxidation dye precursors or substantive dyes otherwise present in the hair dyes to be separate chemical compounds. On the contrary, they may even be mixtures of the couplers or developers used in accordance with the invention.
In principle, the oxidative development of the dye may be carried out with atmospheric oxygen. However, it is preferred to use a chemical oxidizing agent, particularly when it is desired to lighten as well as color the hair. Suitable oxidizing agents are, in particular, hydrogen peroxide or adducts thereof with urea, melamine or sodium borate and also mixtures of hydrogen peroxide adducts such as these with potassium peroxide disulfate.
To produce the hair dyes according to the invention, the first, or first and second oxidation dye precursors are incorporated in a suitable cosmetic carrier in an amount sufficient to form an effective hair dye upon oxidation coupling. Examples of suitable cosmetic carriers are creams, emulsions, lotions, gels, foam aerosols, or even surfactant-containing foaming solutions, for example shampoos, or other preparations which are suitable for applications to the hair. Standard ingredients of cosmetic preparations such as these are: wetting agents and emulsifiers, such as anionic, nonionic or ampholytic surfactants, for example fatty alcohol sulfates, alkane sulfonates, alpha-olefin sulfonates, fatty alcohol polyglycol ether sulfates, ethylene oxide adducts with fatty alcohols, fatty acids or alkylphenols, sorbitan fatty acid esters and fatty acid partial glycerides, fatty acid alkanolamides, thickeners, such as methyl or hydroxyethyl cellulose, starch, fatty alcohols, paraffin oils, fatty acids, perfume oils and hair-care additives, such as water-soluble cationic polymers, protein derivatives, pantothenic acid and cholesterol, and inhibitors such as Na.sub.2 SO.sub.3.
The ingredients of the cosmetic carriers are used in the usual quantities in the production of the hair dyes according to the invention. For example, the emulsifiers are used in concentrations of from 0.5 to 30% by weight (w/w) and the thickeners in concentrations of from 0.1 to 25% by weight, based on the formulation as a whole. The combined oxidation dye precursors are preferably incorporated in the carrier in total quantities of from 0.2 to 5% by weight and most preferably in quantities of from 1 to 3% by weight, based on the formulation as a whole. The aminodiphenylamines corresponding to formula I (first coupler or first oxidation dye precursor) are preferably present in the hair dyes according to the invention in quantities of from about 0.05 to 10, most preferably 7 to 8, millimoles per 100 g of the total composition, which is preferably aqueous.
The hair dyes according to the invention may be used in a mildly acidic, neutral or alkaline medium, irrespective of the cosmetic carrier used. The hair dyes are preferably adjusted to a pH-range of 8 to 10. They may be used at temperatures of from 15.degree. C. to 40.degree. C., preferably 25.degree. C. to 30.degree. C. After a contact time of around 20 to 40, preferably about 30 minutes, the hair dye is removed by rinsing from the hair to be dyed, preferably with water. The hair is then washed with a mild shampoo and dried. Washing with a shampoo is unnecessary when a carrier of high surfactant content, for example a dye shampoo, is used. The hair dyes of this invention are primarily intended for the treatment of human hair. It is possible, however, to use the dyes for non-human hair, fur, and the like, if desired.
The following Examples are intended to illustrate but not limit the invention.
