Abstract
The present disclosure relates to novel N-alkylhydroxylated secondary para-phenylenediamine compounds, to a composition for dyeing keratin fibers, for instance human keratin fibers such as the hair, comprising, in a medium that is suitable for dyeing, at least one ortho- and/or meta-substituted N-alkylhydroxylated secondary para-phenylenediamine, to a process for dyeing keratin fibers comprising applying this composition, and also a dyeing “kit.”
Description

The present disclosure relates to a novel family of ortho-substituted and/or meta-substituted N-alkylhydroxylated secondary para-phenylenediamine compounds and to their use for dyeing keratin fibers, for instance human keratin fibers such as the hair.


It is known practice to dye keratin fibers, such as human hair, with dye compositions comprising oxidation dye precursors, such as ortho- or para-phenylenediamines, ortho- or para-aminophenols, and heterocyclic compounds, which are generally referred to as oxidation bases. These oxidation bases can be colorless or weakly colored compounds which, when combined with oxidizing products, may give rise to colored compounds by a process of oxidative condensation. It is also known that the shades obtained with these oxidation bases may be varied by combining them with couplers or coloration modifiers, wherein the coloration modifiers can be chosen from, for example, meta-diaminobenzenes, meta-aminophenols, meta-diphenols and certain heterocyclic compounds such as indole compounds. The variety of molecules used as oxidation bases and couplers makes it possible to obtain a wide range of colors.


The “permanent” coloration that can be obtained by these oxidation dyes, moreover, may satisfy at least one of a number of requirements. For example, it may not have toxicological drawbacks, it may be able to allow shades of the desired intensity to be obtained, and may be able to have good resistance to external agents such as light, bad weather, washing, permanent waving, perspiration and rubbing. The dyes may also be able to allow white hairs to be covered and, lastly, they may be as unselective as possible, that is to say that they may be able to allow the smallest possible differences in coloration to be produced over the entire length of the same keratin fiber, which is generally differently sensitized (that is to say damaged) between its end and its root.


The inventor has discovered, surprisingly and advantageously, that it is possible to obtain novel compositions for dyeing keratin fibers, for instance human keratin fibers such as the hair, which, in one embodiment, are capable of giving strong, aesthetic and sparingly selective colorations in varied shades, and which, in a further embodiment, are capable of showing good resistance to the various attacking factors to which the fibers may be subjected, by using at least one ortho-substituted and/or meta-substituted N-alkylhydroxylated secondary para-phenylenediamine. In one embodiment, these compositions have a good toxicological profile.


Accordingly, the present disclosure relates to a family of ortho-substituted and/or meta-substituted N-alkylhydroxylated secondary para-phenylenediamine compounds, to processes for synthesizing them and to their uses, for example, for dyeing keratin fibers, for instance, human keratin fibers such as the hair. The present disclosure further relates to a composition comprising at least one ortho-substituted and/or meta-substituted N-alkylhydroxylated secondary para-phenylenediamine, dyeing processes using this composition, the uses of the composition according to the present disclosure for dyeing keratin fibers, for instance human keratin fibers such as the hair, and for example, multi-compartment devices or dye “kits.”


The composition of the present disclosure makes it possible, for instance, to obtain very powerful, sparingly selective and color-fast, such as light-fast, dyeing of keratin fibers, while at the same time avoiding the degradation of the fibers.


Other characteristics, aspects, objects and benefits of the present disclosure will emerge even more clearly upon reading the description and the examples that follow.


As used herein, the term “alkyl” is understood to mean a linear or branched C1-C10 radical, for example the following linear or branched radicals: methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, octyl, etc.

The present disclosure also relates to a process for dyeing keratin fibers in which the dye composition as defined above is applied to the keratin fibers and left for a period of time that is sufficient to develop the desired coloration, in the presence of an oxidizing agent, wherein the oxidizing agent can be applied before, simultaneously with or after the dye composition. The color may be developed at acidic, neutral or alkaline pH and the oxidizing agent may be added to the composition of the present disclosure just at the time of use, or it may be used as an oxidizing composition comprising it, which can be applied simultaneously with or sequentially to the dye composition as disclosed herein.


According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the dye composition as disclosed herein is mixed, for instance, at the time of use, with a composition comprising, in a medium that is suitable for dyeing, at least one oxidizing agent, wherein the at least one oxidizing agent is present in an amount that is sufficient to develop a coloration. According to this embodiment, a “ready-to-use” composition is provided, which is a mixture of a dye composition as disclosed herein with at least one oxidizing agent chosen from, for instance, hydrogen peroxide, urea peroxide, alkali metal bromates, persalts, peracids and oxidase enzymes. The mixture obtained, in the form of a ready-to-use composition, is then applied to the keratin fibers for a period of time that is sufficient to develop the desired coloration. After a period of action time ranging from 3 to 50 minutes, such as from 5 to 30 minutes, the keratin fibers are rinsed, washed with a shampoo, rinsed again and then dried.


The oxidizing agents conventionally used for the oxidation dyeing of keratin fibers include, for example, hydrogen peroxide, urea peroxide, alkali metal bromates, persalts such as perborates and persulfates, peracids and oxidase enzymes, among which non-limiting mention may be made of peroxidases, two-electron oxidoreductases such as uricases, and four-electron oxygenases, for instance laccases. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, hydrogen peroxide is used as the oxidizing agent.


The oxidizing composition may also comprise at least one adjuvant conventionally used in hair dye compositions and as defined above.


The pH of the oxidizing composition comprising the oxidizing agent is such that, after mixing with the dye composition, the pH of the resulting composition applied to the keratin fibers ranges, for example, from 3 and 12, such as from 5 to 11. It may be adjusted to the desired value by means of acidifying or basifying agents usually used in the dyeing of keratin fibers and as defined above.


The ready-to-use composition that is applied to the keratin fibers 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 fibers, such as human hair.


Another aspect of the present disclosure is a multi-compartment device or dyeing “kit,” in which at least one first compartment comprises at least one dye composition as defined above, and at least one second compartment comprises at least one oxidizing composition. This kit may be equipped with a device for applying the desired mixture to the hair, such as the devices described in French Patent No. FR 2 586 913.


Using this kit, it is possible to dye keratin fibers via a process that includes mixing at least one dye composition in accordance with the present disclosure with at least one oxidizing agent as defined above, and applying the mixture obtained to the keratin fibers for a period of time that is sufficient to develop the desired coloration.


Other than in the operating examples, or where otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients, reaction conditions, and so forth used in the specification and claims are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term “about.” Accordingly, unless indicated to the contrary, the numerical parameters set forth in the following specification and attached claims are approximations that may vary depending upon the desired properties sought to be obtained by the present invention. At the very least, and not as an attempt to limit the application of the doctrine of equivalents to the scope of the claims, each numerical parameter should be construed in light of the number of significant digits and ordinary rounding approaches.


Notwithstanding that the numerical ranges and parameters setting forth the broad scope of the invention are approximations, the numerical values set forth in the specific examples are reported as precisely as possible. Any numerical value, however, inherently contain certain errors necessarily resulting from the standard deviation found in their respective testing measurements. The examples that follow serve to illustrate the invention without, however, being limiting in nature.

Step 1: Preparation of 2-methoxymethyl-4-nitrophenol (1)

18.7 g (0.1 mol) of 2-chloromethyl-4-nitrophenol and 50 ml of pure methanol were mixed together and refluxed for 2 hours 30 minutes. 37 ml of sodium methoxide (0.2 mol, 5.4 N solution in MeOH) were added and the mixture was refluxed for another 30 minutes. The resulting mixture was cooled in an ice bath and diluted with 350 ml of water, and the insoluble matter formed was filtered off. The filtrate was acidified with acetic acid (10 ml). The crystalline product was filtered off by suction, reslurried in ice-cold water and then dried over P2O5 at 40° C. 11.4 g of crude products were isolated and then recrystallized from 15 ml of isopropyl acetate to give 7.5 g of expected product.


Step 2: Preparation of 1-benzyloxy-2-methoxymethyl-4-nitrobenzene (2)

18.3 g of 2-methoxymethyl-4-nitrophenol (1) (0.1 mol), 8.3 g (0.06 mol) of potassium carbonate and 40 ml of dimethylformamide were heated on a boiling water bath, and 12.1 ml (0.105 mol) of benzyl chloride were added over 10 minutes. After heating for 1 hour on the boiling water bath, the mixture was poured onto 150 g of ice. The yellow-brown crystals formed were filtered off, reslurried in ice-cold water and washed with petroleum ether. The wet product was recrystallized from 75 ml of isopropanol to give, after drying, 21 g of expected product with a melting point of 108° C. The results of the elementary analyses were as follows:

13.6 g (0.05 mol) of 1-benzyloxy-2-methoxymethyl-4-nitrobenzene (2) and 30 ml of 3-aminopropanol were heated at 150-160° C. for 1 hour. The mixture was poured onto ice and the excess 3-aminopropanol was neutralized with 36% hydrochloric acid. The oil formed was separated out by settling of the phases and then crystallized. After filtering off by suction, the crystals were washed with water and then with petroleum ether. Drying under vacuum over P2O5 at 30° C. gave an orange oil (7.2 g) that crystallized at 20° C.


Step 4: Preparation of 2-(4-amino-2-methoxymethylphenylamino)ethanol, dihydrochloride (4)

A mixture of zinc powder (14 g) ammonium chloride (0.56 g), water (2.8 ml) and 96% ethanol (28 ml) was refluxed on a boiling water bath. The nitro derivative 2-(2-methoxymethyl-4-nitrophenylamino)ethanol (3) (6.8 g, 0.028 mol) was added portion-wise and heating was continued until the reaction medium had decolorized. The mixture was filtered while boiling and the filtrate was recovered onto 12 ml of 6 N hydrochloric ethanol. After evaporating to dryness, the crude product was taken up in 10 ml of absolute ethanol. The crystals formed were filtered off by suction and dried under vacuum over P2O5/KOH to give 5.6 g of dihydrochloride product.


The proton NMR and mass spectra were in accordance with the expected structure of the product.
