This application claims priority of German patent application number 102 54 315.1, filed on Nov. 21, 2002.
This invention relates to new dicyclic oil components, to cosmetic compositions containing these dicyclic oil components and to a process for the production of the dicyclic oil components.
Cosmetic skin-care and hair-care emulsions are expected by the consumer to satisfy a number of requirements: apart from the cleaning and care effects which determine the particular application, importance is attributed to such different parameters as high dermatological compatibility, good lipid layer enhancing properties, elegant appearance, optimal sensory impression and stability in storage.
Besides a number of surface-active substances, preparations used to clean and care for the human skin and hair generally contain above all oil components and water. The oil components (emollients) used include, for example, hydrocarbons, ester oils and vegetable and animal oils/fats/waxes. In order to meet stringent commercial requirements in regard to sensory properties and optimal dermatological compatibility, new oil components and emulsifier mixtures are being continually developed and tested.
The problem addressed by the present invention was to provide emollients based on hydrocarbons which would have very good spreading behavior. These emollients would have a light feeling on the skin and would show very good dermatological compatibility.
It has surprisingly been found that certain alkyl-substituted nonaromatic dicyclic compounds solve this problem. Accordingly, the present invention relates to nonaromatic dicyclic compounds containing a structural unit corresponding to general formula (I):
wherein each of R1-R12 is independently hydrogen or a linear C1-20 alkyl group, each of A1 and A2 is a 1, 2 or 3 ring carbon atom wherein A1 is substituted by R9 and R10 and A2 is substituted by R11, and R12; and wherein at least one of R1-R12 is a linear alkyl group having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms.
Nonaromatic dicyclic compounds containing 5 or 6 carbon atoms in the ring are preferred. A hexamethyl dicyclopentane obtainable by aldol condensation of 2,2,4-trimethyl cyclopentanone and subsequent hydrogenation and a hexamethyl dicyclohexane obtainable by aldol condensation of 2,2,4-trimethyl cyclohexanone and subsequent hydrogenation are particularly preferred.
The present invention also relates to a process for producing nonaromatic dicyclic compounds of the formula (I) comprising the steps of: (a) reacting a cycloalkanone of the formula (II):
wherein each of R13-R18 is independently hydrogen or a linear C1-20 alkyl group; A is a 1, 2 or 3 ring carbon atom substituted by R17 and R18 with a base to form an aldol condensation product; (b) forming a neutralised product by contacting the aldol condensation with acid; (3) hydrogenating the neutralised product.
Preferred educts are cycloalkanones (a) containing 5 or 6 ring carbon atoms. In a particularly preferred embodiment, 2,2,4-trimethylcyclopentanone or 2,2,4-trimethylcyclohexanone is used as the cycloalkanone (a).
The dicyclic compounds according to the invention are distinguished by good spreading behavior on the skin and are therefore eminently suitable for use in cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparations.
Accordingly, the present invention also relates to cosmetic preparations containing at least one dicyclic compound corresponding to formula (I):
wherein each of R1-12 is independently hydrogen or a linear C1-20 alkyl group each of A1 and A2 is a 1, 2 or 3 ring carbon atom wherein A1 is substituted by R9 and R10 and A2 is substituted by R11 and R12; and wherein at least one of R1-R12 is a linear alkyl group having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms.
Cosmetic preparations containing a hexamethyl dicyclopentane of formula (III) and/or a hexamethyl dicyclohexane of formula (IV)
as the nonaromatic dicyclic compound are particularly preferred.
The cosmetic preparations contain the nonaromatic dicyclic compounds in quantities of preferably 0.1 to 50% and more preferably 0.1 to 30% by weight, based on the composition as a whole. They are preferably used in the cosmetic compositions as emollients or lipid layer enhancers, but may also be used as lubricants or as solubilizers in pharmaceutical preparations.
The cosmetic preparations according to the invention are preferably body care formulations, for example creams, milks, lotions, sprayable emulsions, products for eliminating body odor, etc. The compounds according to the invention may also be used in surfactant-containing formulations such as, for example, foam and shower baths, hair shampoos and care rinses.

Emulsifiers
Suitable emulsifiers are, for example, nonionic surfactants from at least one of the following groups:
Fats and waxes are added to the body care products both as care components and to increase the consistency of the cosmetic preparations. Typical examples of fats are glycerides, i.e. solid or liquid, vegetable or animal products which consist essentially of mixed glycerol esters of higher fatty acids. Fatty acid partial glycerides, i.e. technical mono- and/or diesters of glycerol with C12-18 fatty acids, such as for example glycerol mono/dilaurate, palmitate or stearate, may also be used for this purpose.

Besides the fats, other suitable additives are fat-like substances, such as lecithins and phospholipids. Lecithins are known among experts as glycerophospholipids which are formed from fatty acids, glycerol, phosphoric acid and choline by esterification. Accordingly, lecithins are also frequently referred to by experts as phosphatidyl cholines (PCs). Examples of natural lecithins are the kephalins which are also known as phosphatidic acids and which are derivatives of 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphoric acids. By contrast, phospholipids are generally understood to be mono- and preferably diesters of phosphoric acid with glycerol (glycero-phosphates) which are normally classed as fats. Sphingosines and sphingolipids are also suitable.

Other consistency factors which have proved to be particularly effective are bentonites, for example Bentone® Gel VS-5PC (Rheox) which is a mixture of cyclopentasiloxane, Disteardimonium Hectorite and propylene carbonate. Other suitable consistency factors are surfactants such as, for example, ethoxylated fatty acid glycerides, esters of fatty acids with polyols, for example pentaerythritol or trimethylol propane, narrow-range fatty alcohol ethoxylates or alkyl oligoglucosides and electrolytes, such as sodium chloride and ammonium chloride.

25 g KOH (solid) were added to 500 g (3.57 mol) 3,3,5-trimethyl cylohexanone, followed by heating with stirring for 3 hours to 165° C. After the end of the reaction, the mixture was washed until neutral with water (acidified with hydrochloric acid) and separated by distillation from unreacted educt, water and high-boiling components.
Hydrogenation
4.4% by weight of a nickel-containing hydrogenation catalyst (Nysofact 101 IQ) were added to 100 g of α,β-unsaturated ketone, followed by heating to 245° C., a hydrogen pressure of 20 bar being applied for 10 hours. After termination of the reaction, the mixture was cooled to room temperature and the mixture obtained (90 g) was purified by fractional distillation. The hexamethyl dicyclohexane was obtained in a purity of 99%.
5 g of the oil component to be tested and 95 g ethanol were weighed into a 250 ml glass beaker (tall form) and heated to 20° C. The solution was then stirred with a 30 mm stirring fish on a magnetic stirring plate at around 300 r.p.m. Using a Dosimat, distilled water was then added until the solution remained distinctly cloudy for at least 10 s.
Emulsion A was stable for 3 months at the following temperatures: −5° C., room temperature and 40° C.
Emulsion B was stable for 3 months at the following storage temperatures: −5° C., room temperature, 40° C., 45° C. and 50° C.
