Composition for dyeing keratin fibres, comprising a pyrazolin-4,5-dione and an aromatic primary amine

Description

The present invention relates to a composition for dyeing keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, comprising at least one pyrazoline-4,5-dione and at least one aromatic or heteroaromatic primary amine, and to dyeing processes and devices using this composition.

For the dyeing of keratin fibres, and in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, it is known practice to use dye compositions containing oxidation dye precursors, generally known as oxidation bases, which are colourless or faintly coloured compounds which, when combined with oxidizing products, give rise to coloured compounds and dyes by means of an oxidative condensation process.

It is also known how to vary the shades obtained with these oxidation bases, by combining them with couplers or coloration modifiers. The variety of molecules used as regards the oxidation bases and couplers makes it possible to obtain a wide variety of colours. The colourations obtained are generally intense with good properties in terms of resistance over time (fastness) in the face of external agents (light, bad weather, washing, permanent-waving, perspiration, friction). However, the development of the colour requires the presence of an oxidizing agent, most generally aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution, the consequences of which are more or less pronounced deterioration of the state of the fibre.

It is also known practice to dye keratin fibres with direct dyes which are applied under mild conditions and which, consequently, generally respect the state of the fibre. However, the shades obtained with these direct dyes are not particularly intense and often need to be enhanced. In addition, their resistance to external agents is not as good, in particular their resistance to washing, and it is often considered to be insufficient.

To overcome these various drawbacks, it has already been proposed to dye the hair without an oxidizing agent, with dye compositions comprising either (a) 2,3-indolinedione, also known as “isatin” or one of its derivatives, or (b) a 1,2-ethanedione derivative, or (c) a 1,3-propanedione derivative, or (d) an indolinone derivative, with one or more aromatic amines and/or amino acids and/or oligopeptides and/or amino sugars and/or phenolic derivatives.

Such dye compositions have been described in the following documents:

for 2,3-indolinedione and its derivatives: patents and patent applications US-4,750,408, EP-0,359,465, EP-0,497,697, EP-0,502,783, EP-0,502,784, EP-0,634,923, EP-0,750,490, DE-4,314,317, DE-4,314,318, DE-4,409,143,

for the 1,2-ethanedione derivatives: patent applications DE-4,317,855, DE-4,318,742, DE-4,335,625,

for the 1,3-propanedione derivatives: patent applications DE-4,335,626, DE-4,335,627, DE-4,335,628,

for the indolinone derivatives: patent application DE-4,335,623.

However, the colourations obtained using the said combinations are not always satisfactory, in particular as regards certain properties such as the sheen, the strength, the fastness and the selectivity. As regards selectivity, a good hair dye should be as homogeneous as possible from the root to the tip of the hair, in which case it is said to be unselective or relatively unselective.

However, hair colourations not comprising an oxidizing agent, such as direct colourations or the colourations obtained using the abovementioned combinations of isatin, 1,2-ethanedione, 1,3-propanedione or indolinone, generally have the drawback of being highly selective. There is thus a real need to have available hair dye compositions which contain no oxidizing agent, in order to respect the state of the fibre, and which give strong shades while being relatively unselective.

After considerable research conducted in this matter, the Applicant has now discovered, entirely surprisingly and unexpectedly, that varied shades which are both shiny, strong, fast and relatively unselective can be obtained by applying a dye composition containing at least one pyrazoline-4,5-dione of formula (I) and at least one aromatic or heteroaromatic amine of formula (II), which are defined below, to keratin fibres, in the absence of an oxidizing agent.

This discovery forms the basis of the presentinvention.

The present invention relates to a composition for dyeing keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, containing, in a medium which is suitable for dyeing, (i) at least one pyrazoline-4,5-dione of formula (I) and (ii) at least one aromatic or heteroaromatic amine of formula (II), which are defined below.

Another subject of the invention is a two-component composition for which, in a medium which is suitable for dyeing, one component contains at least one pyrazoline-4,5-dione of formula (I), the other component contains an aromatic or heteroaromatic amine of formula (II), formulae (I) and (II) being defined below, and which, being stored separately, are (i) mixed together at the time of use for application to the keratin fibres or (ii) applied sequentially to the said fibres.

A subject of the invention is also dyeing processes using these compositions.

Another subject of the invention relates to a multi-compartment device, or “kits”, for dyeing keratin fibres, characterized in that it comprises at least two compartments, one of which contains a composition containing, in a medium which is suitable for dyeing, at least one pyrazoline-4,5-dione of formula (I), and the other contains a composition containing, in a medium which is suitable for dyeing, at least one aromatic or heteroaromatic amine of formula (II) which can react without an oxidizing agent with the pyrazoline-4,5-dione of formula (I) to form a dye (formulae (I) and (II) being defined below.) However, other characteristics, aspects and advantages of the invention will emerge even more clearly on reading the description which follows, as well as the various concrete, but in no way limiting, examples intended to illustrate it.

)}, preferably in strong acid medium, to give the corresponding pyrazoline-4,5-dione derivative of formula (I):

In such a process, the aromatic nitroso derivative of the first step is preferably a p-nitrosodialkylaniline of formula {circle around (

2

)}′:

in which R′and R″ represent a linear or branched C

1

-C

4

alkyl radical.

The acid hydrolysis in the second step of the preparation process according to the invention is preferably carried out with dilute sulphuric acid or aqueous hydrochloric acid, at room temperature, in the presence of a co-solvent for the pyrazoline-4,5-dione which is immiscible with water, thus making it possible advanageously to extract the compound as it is formed, thereby making it easier to isolate in very high purity. The water-immiscible co-solvent can be a halogenated solvent such as, for example, dichloromethane or 1,2-dichloroethane. In one preferred embodiment of the invention, the water-immiscible co-solvent is an ether such as diethyl ether or diisopropyl ether.

The second process consists in:

a) reacting bromine with a pyrazolin-5-one of formula {circle around (

1

)} to give the corresponding 4,4-dibromopyrazolin-5-one of formula {circle around (

4

)} (step a),

b) and then in reacting lead diacetate so as to form the corresponding diacetate of formula {circle around (

5

)}, this being an unstable intermediate product which leads spontaneously, after elimination of acetic anhydride, to the desired pyrazoline-4,5-dione of formula (I) (step b), these two steps a and b thus being carried out according to the following reaction scheme:

Step a of dibromination is preferably carried out in aqueous medium in the presence of two equivalents of bromine, at room temperature. The reaction is generally complete within a few hours: the dibromo derivative precipitates as it is formed, which allows simple isolation by filtration, in high purity.

Step b is advantageously carried out within a few hours at the reflux point of acetic acid, it being possible for the lead dibromide formed to be separated out very easily by simple filtration.

(ii) The aromatic or heteroaromatic amines which can be used according to the present invention are of formula (II) below:

in which R

For the purposes of the present invention, the cosmetically acceptable salts of the compounds of formula (I) and of the aromatic or heteroaromatic amines of formula (II) can be hydrochlorides, sulphates, hydrobromides or tartrates.

The concentration of pyrazoline-4,5-dione of formula (I) in the dye composition according to the present invention is preferably between about 0.01 and 5%, and even more preferably between about 0.15 and 2%, by weight relative to the total weight of the dye composition.

The concentration of aromatic or heteroaromatic amine in the dye composition according to the present invention is preferably between about 0.01 and 5%, and even more preferably between about 0.15 and 2%, by weight relative to the total weight of the dye composition.

The medium which is suitable for dyeing is preferably an aqueous medium consisting of water and/or cosmetically acceptable organic solvents, and more particularly alcohols such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol and phenylethyl alcohol, or glycols or glycol ethers such as, for example, ethylene glycol and its monomethyl, monoethyl and monobutyl ethers, propylene glycol or its ethers such as, for example, propylene glycol monomethyl ether, butylene glycol, dipropylene glycol and diethylene glycol alkyl ethers such as, for example, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether or monobutyl ether, in concentrations of between about 0.5 and 20%, and preferably between about 2 and 10%, by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.

Fatty amides such as mono- and diethanolamides of acids derived from coconut, of lauric acid or of oleic acid, at concentrations of between about 0.05 and 10% by weight, can also be added to the dye composition according to the invention.

Surfactants that are well known in the prior art and of anionic, cationic, nonionic, amphoteric or zwitterionic type or mixtures thereof may also be added to the dye composition according to the invention, preferably in a proportion of between about 0.1 and 50% by weight and advantageously between about 1 and 20% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.

Thickeners can also be used, in a proportion ranging from about 0.2 to 20%.

The said dye composition can also contain various common adjuvants such as antioxidants, fragrances, sequestering agents, dispersing agents, hair conditioning agents, preserving agents and opacifiers, as well as any other adjuvant usually used in the dyeing of keratin substances.

Needless to say, a person skilled in the art will take care to select the optional additional compound(s) mentioned above, such that the advantageous properties intrinsically associated with the dye composition according to the invention are not, or are not substantially, adversely affected by the addition(s) envisaged.

The dye composition according to the invention can be formulated at acidic, neutral or alkaline pH, it being possible for the pH to range, for example, from 2 to 12 and preferably from 3 to 9, and it being possible for it to be adjusted by means of basifying agents or acidifying agents or buffers which are previously well known.

Basifying agents which may be mentioned are aqueous ammonia, alkaline carbonates, alkanolamines, for example mono-, di- and triethanolamine and derivatives thereof, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and the compounds of formula:

in which R is a propylene residue optionally substituted with a hydroxyl group or a C

The acidifying agents are conventionally inorganic or organic acids such as, for example, hydrochloric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid and phosphoric acid.

Among the buffers which may be mentioned is, for example, potassium dihydrogen phosphate/sodium hydroxide.

The composition applied to the hair can be in various forms, such as in liquid, cream or gel form or in any other form which is suitable for dyeing keratin fibres. In particular, it can be packaged under pressure in an aerosol can, in the presence of a propellant and can form a mousse.

Another subject of the present invention relates to a process for dyeing keratin substances, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, this process consisting in applying a dye composition containing, in a medium which is suitable for dyeing, at least one pyrazoline-4,5-dione of formula (I) and an aromatic or heteroaromatic amine of formula (II) to wet or dry keratin fibres, in leaving the composition to act on the fibres for an exposure time ranging between 3 and 60 minutes approximately, preferably between 5 and 45 minutes approximately, at a temperature ranging between 20° C. and 50° C. approximately, and then in rinsing, optionally washing, rinsing again and drying.

One variant of the process constitutes another subject of the invention, and consists in applying to the keratin fibres, simultaneously or sequentially, (i) a dye composition containing, in a medium which is suitable for dyeing, at least one pyrazoline-4,5-dione of formula (I) and (ii) a composition essentially containing an aromatic or heteroaromatic amine of formula (II) in a medium which is suitable for dyeing.

Concrete examples illustrating the invention will now be given.

EXAMPLES OF DYE COMPOSITIONS

In Examples 1 to 4, the shades obtained on hair were assessed in numerical terms using a Minolta CM 2002 calorimeter.

The criterion of selectivity of the dyeing was evaluated by means of the colour variation index I, calculated according to the Nickerson equation below:

I=(C/5)×2ΔH+6ΔV+3ΔC

(see in this respect “Journal of the Optical Society of America”, 1944, Sept., Vol. 34, No. 9, pp. 550-570), in which equation, the parameters H, V and C represent those in the Munsell notation (ASTM standard D 1535-68), which defines colour [H: denoting the shade or Hue, V: denoting the intensity or Value, and C: denoting the purity or Chromaticity].

The above composition was applied to locks of permanent-waved and non-permanent-waved natural grey hair containing 90% white hairs, at a rate of 6 9 of composition per 3 9 of hair, and was left to stand on the hair for 30 minutes at a temperature of about 20° C. After rinsing with running water, washing with a conventional shampoo, rinsing again and drying, the hair was dyed in a shade with a numerical value of 8.0 R 4.0/2.4 on non-permanent-waved hair and 6.4 R 3.4/3.1 on permanent-waved hair.

From this numerical Munsell data, the colour difference which exists between the permanent-waved hair and the non-permanent-waved hair was calculated (by means of the Nickerson equation). This difference, which represents the “selectivity” of the dyeing, was equal to 7.2.

The above composition was applied to locks of permanent-waved and non-permanent-waved natural grey hair containing 90% white hairs, according to the same procedure as in Example 1.

The hair was dyed in a shade with a numerical value of 6.9 YR 4.9/4.3 on non-permanent-waved hair and 3.6 YR 4.0/5.6 on permanent-waved hair.

From this numerical Munsell data, the colour difference which exists between the permanent-waved hair and the non-permanent-waved hair was calculated (by means of the Nickerson equation). This difference, which represents the “selectivity” of the dyeing, was equal to 15.0.

By comparison with the selectivity of the dyeing in Example 1 according to the invention, which was only 7.2, the selectivity of the dyeing in Example 2 (15.0) according to the prior art is much higher; it was thus demonstrated that permanent-waved hair comprising non-permanent-waved roots will show, after dyeing using composition 1 according to the invention, a more uniform (less selective) coloration than when using composition 2 of the prior art.

The above composition was applied to locks of permanent-waved and non-permanent-waved natural grey hair containing 90% white hairs, according to the same procedure as in Example 1.

The hair was dyed in a shade with a numerical value of 5.6 YR 4.4/3.3 on non-permanent-waved hair and 0.9 YR 3.4/4.9 on permanent-waved hair.

From this numerical Munsell data, the colour difference which exists between the permanent-waved hair and the non-permanent-waved hair was calculated (by means of the Nickerson equation). This difference, which represents the “selectivity” of the dyeing, was equal to 17.0.

By comparison with the selectivity of the dyeing in Example 3 according to the invention, which was only 7.4, the selectivity of the dyeing in Example 4 (17.0) according to the prior art is much higher; it was thus demonstrated that permanent-waved hair comprising non-permanent-waved roots will show, after dyeing using composition 3 according to the invention, a more uniform (less selective) coloration than when using composition 4 of the prior art.
