(P-amino-hydroxyphenyl)-acrylamide derivatives and dyes containing said compounds

Abstract

The object of the invention are (p-aminohydroxyphenyl)acrylamide derivatives of general formula (I) or the physiologically tolerated, water-soluble salts thereof 1

Description

[0001] The invention relates to new (p-aminohydroxyphenyl)acrylamide derivatives and dyeing agents containing these compounds for dyeing keratin fibers, particularly human hair.

[0002] In the area of keratin fiber dyeing, particularly hair dyeing, oxidation dyes have attained substantial importance. In this case, the coloration is produced by reaction of certain developers with certain couplers in the presence of an appropriate oxidant. Suitable developers are, in particular, 2,5-diaminotoluene, 2,5-diaminophenylethyl alcohol, p-aminophenol, 1,4-diaminobenzene and 4,5-diaminopyrazole-1-(2-hydroxyethyl) [sic—Translator], and suitable couplers are, for example, resorcinol, 2-methylresorcinol, 1-naphthol, 3-aminophenol, m-phenylenediamine, 2-amino-4-(2′-hydroxyethyl)aminoanisole, 1,3-diamino-4-(2′-hydroxyethoxy)benzene and 2,4-diamino-5-fluorotoluene.

[0003] The oxidation dyes used for dyeing human hair must meet numerous requirements in addition to that of being able to produce colorations of the desired intensity. For example, these dyes must be harmless from a toxicological and dermatological standpoint, and the hair colorations obtained must have good light fastness, resistance to permanent waving, acid fastness and rubbing fastness. In any case, however, in the absence of exposure to light, rubbing and chemicals, such colorations must remain stable over a period of at least 4 to 6 weeks. Moreover, by combining appropriate developers and couplers, it must be possible to create a wide range of different color shades.

[0004] To attain natural and, in particular, fashionable color shades in the red region, p-aminophenol, alone or in admixture with other developers, in combination with suitable couplers, is primarily used. Attempts have already been made to improve the properties of p-aminophenols by the introduction of substituents. In this regards, the reader is referred to German Unexamined Patent Application DE 196 07 751 which describes colorants containing as developers special substituted p-aminophenol derivatives, for example 5-amino-2-hydroxycinnamic acid.

[0005] With the currently known colorants, it is not possible, however, to meet the requirements placed on colorants in all respects. Hence, the need continued to exist for new developers capable of meeting the aforesaid requirements to a particularly high degree.

[0006] Surprisingly, in this respect we have now found that new (p-aminohydroxyphenyl)acrylamide derivatives of general formula (I) meet said requirements placed on developers to a particularly high degree. In fact, when these developers are used with most known couplers, they give intense color shades that are unusually light-fast and wash-fast.

[0007] The object of the present invention therefore are (p-aminohydroxyphenyl)acrylamide derivatives of general formula (I) or physiologically tolerated, water-soluble salts thereof 2

[0033] Although the advantageous properties of the aminophenol derivatives of formula (I) described herein suggest that they alone be used as developers, it is, of course, also possible to use the p-aminophenol derivatives of formula (I) together with other known developers, for example with 1,4-diaminobenzene, 2,5-diaminotoluene, 2-(2,5-diaminophenyl)ethyl alcohol, 1-(2,5-diaminophenyl)ethyl alcohol, N,N-bis-(2′-hydroxyethyl)-1,4-diaminobenzene, 4-aminophenol and the derivatives thereof, for example 4-amino-3-methylphenol, pyrazole derivatives, for example 4,5-diamino-1-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyrazole, 4,5-diamino-1-benzylpyrazole and 4,5-diamino-1-(4-methylbenzyl)pyrazole, or tetraaminopyrimidines.

[0034] The couplers and developers can be present in the colorant of the invention either individually or in admixture with one another, the total amount of each of the couplers and developers in the colorant of the invention being about 0.005 to 20 wt. % preferably about 0.01 to 5 wt. % and particularly 0.1 to 2.5 wt. % (based on the total amount of colorant).

[0035] The total amount of the developer-coupler combination contained in the colorant described herein is preferably about 0.01 to 20 wt. %, an amount of about 0.02 to 10 wt. % and especially 0.2 to 6.0 wt. % being particularly preferred. In general, the developers and couplers are used in approximately equimolar amounts. In this respect, it is not disadvantageous, however, if the developers are present in a certain excess or deficiency.

[0036] Moreover, the colorant of the invention can also contain other dye components, for example 6-amino-2-methylphenol and 2-amino-5-methylphenol, as well as common direct dyes, for example triphenylmethane dyes such as 4-[(4′-aminophenyl)-(4′-imino-2″,5″-cyclohexadien-1″-ylidene)methyl]-2-methylaminobenzene monohydrochloride (Color Index [C.I.] 42 510) and 4-[(4′-amino-3′-methylphenyl)-(4″-imino-3″-methyl-2″,5″-cyclohexadien-1″-ylidene)methyl]-2-methylaminobenzene monohydrochloride (C.I. 42 520), aromatic nitro dyes such as 4-(2′-hydroxyethyl)aminonitrotoluene, 2-amino-4,6-dinitrophenol, 2-amino-5-(2′-hydroxyethyl)aminonitrobenzene, 2-chloro-6-(ethylamino)-4-nitrophenol, 4-chloro-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-nitroaniline, 5-chloro-2-hydroxy-4-nitroaniline, 2-amino-4-chloro-6-nitrophenol and 1-(2′-ureidoethyl)amino-4-nitrobenzene, azo dyes such as sodium 6-[(4′-aminophenyl)azo]-5-hydroxynaphthalene-1-sulfonate (C.I. 14 805) and disperse dyes, for example 1,4-diaminoanthraquinone and 1,4,5,8-tetraaminoanthraquinone. The colorants of the invention can contain the aforesaid dye components in an amount from about 0.1 to 4 wt. %.

[0037] The couplers and developers as well as the other dye components, provided they are bases, can, of course, also be used in the form of their physiologically tolerated salts with organic or inorganic acids, for example hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, or—if they contain aromatic OH groups—in the form of their salts with bases, for example as alkali metal phenoxides.

[0038] Moreover, if the colorants are to be used for coloring hair, they can also contain other common cosmetic additives, for example antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, thioglycolic acid or sodium sulfite, as well as perfume oils, complexing agents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, thickeners and hair-care agents.

[0039] The colorant of the invention can be in the form of, for example, a solution, particularly an aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic solution. A particularly preferred formulation form, however, is a cream, gel or emulsion. Such a composition consists of a mixture of the dye components and the usual additives employed for such compositions.

[0040] Common additives to solutions, creams, emulsions or gels are, for example solvents such as water, lower aliphatic alcohols, for example ethanol, propanol or isopropanol, glycerol or glycols such as 1,2-propylene glycol, moreover wetting agents or emulsifiers from the classes of anionic, cationic, amphoteric or nonionic surface-active agents, for example fatty alcohol sulfates, ethoxylated fatty alcohol sulfates, alkylsulfonates, alkylbenzenesulfonates, alkyltrimethylammonium salts, alkylbetaines, ethoxylated fatty alcohols, ethoxylated nonylphenols, fatty acid alkanolamides and ethoxylated fatty esters, furthermore thickeners such as the higher fatty alcohols, starch, cellulose derivatives, petrolatum, paraffin oil and fatty acids, also hair-care agents such as cationic resins, lanolin derivatives, cholesterol, pantothenic acid and betaine. The said constituents are used in amounts commonly employed for such purposes, for example the wetting agents and emulsifiers at a concentration of about 0.5 to 30 wt. %, the thickeners in an amount from about 0.1 to 30 wt. % and the hair-care agents at a concentration from about 0.1 to 5 wt. %.

[0041] Depending on the composition, the colorant of the invention can be weakly acidic, neutral or alkaline. In particular, it can have a pH of about 6.5 to 11.5. The adjustment to a basic pH is preferably made with ammonia, but it can also be made with an organic amine, for example with monoethanolamine and triethanolamine, or with an inorganic base such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide. The adjustment to an acidic pH can be made with an inorganic or organic acid, for example phosphoric, acetic, citric or tartaric acid.

[0042] For oxidative dyeing of hair, the afore-described colorant is mixed with an oxidant just before use, and an amount sufficient for hair treatment, generally about 60 to 200 grams, of this mixture, depending on the hair fullness, is applied to the hair.

[0043] Suitable oxidants for developing the hair coloration are primarily hydrogen peroxide or its products of addition to urea, melamine, sodium borate or sodium carbonate in the form of a 3 to 12% and preferably 6% aqueous solution, atmospheric oxygen also being suitable. When a 6% hydrogen peroxide solution is used as oxidant, the weight ratio of hair colorant to oxidant is from 5:1 to 1:2 and preferably 1:1. Higher amounts of oxidant are used especially with higher dye concentrations in the hair colorant or when stronger bleaching of the hair is wanted at the same time. The mixture is allowed to act on the hair at 15 to 50° C. for about 10 to 45 minutes, preferably 30 minutes. The hair is then rinsed with water and dried. Optionally, following this rinsing, the hair is washed with a shampoo and optionally post-rinsed with a weak organic acid such as citric acid or tartaric acid. The hair is then dried.

[0044] The colorants of the invention containing a p-aminophenol derivative of formula (I) as developer give hair colorations of excellent color stability, particularly in terms of light fastness, wash fastness and rubbing fastness. As far as the dyeing properties are concerned, the hair colorants of the invention provide a wide range of different color shades from blond to brown to purple, violet and even blue and black, depending on the kind and composition of the dye components used. The shades stand out by their unusual color intensity and good color balancing between damaged and un-damaged hair. The very good coloring properties of the hair colorants of the present patent application also manifest themselves in that these colorants make it possible to dye gray hair, previously not damaged chemically, without any problems and with good covering power.

[0045] The following examples illustrate the object of the invention in greater detail without limiting its scope.

Example 1

Synthesis of (p-Aminohydroxyphenyl)acrylamide Derivatives of Formula (I) (General Method of Synthesis)

[0046] A. Synthesis of tert.butyl N-(3-bromo-4-hydroxyphenyl)carbamate

[0047] A solution of 9.4 g (52.8 mmol) of N-bromosuccinimide in 450 mL of chloroform was added dropwise at 0° C. over a period of 2 hours to a suspension of 10 g (47.8 mmol) of tert.butyl N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)carbamate in 100 mL of chloroform. The reaction mixture was allowed to agitate for an additional 15 min after which it was washed twice with water (first with 400 ml, then with 200 mL), dried with magnesium sulfate and filtered, and the filtrate was partly evaporated. Hexane was then added to the residue with agitation, which caused a precipitate to form. The precipitate was filtered off and washed with hexane.

[0048] This gave 9.7 g (70% of the theoretical) of tert.butyl N-(3-bromo-4-hydroxyphenyl)carbamate.

[0049] B. Synthesis of tert.butyl N-(3-bromo-4-ethoxymethoxyphenyl)carbamate

[0050] 0.76 g (17.4 mmol) of a sodium hydride dispersion (55% in oil) was added portionwise at 0° C. to a solution of 5 g (17.4 mmol) of tert.butyl N-(3-bromo-4-hydroxyphenyl)carbamate in 60 mL of tetrahydrofuran. The mixture was allowed to agitate 50 min at 0° C. after which 1.83 g (19.4 mmol) of chloromethyl ethyl ether was added. The mixture was allowed to agitate at 0° C. for an additional hour. It was then poured onto ice and extracted with ethyl acetate, and the organic phase was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over Na2SO4 and filtered, and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was purified on silica gel with petroleum ether/ethyl acetate (9:1).

[0051] This gave 4.8 g (80% of the theoretical) of tert.butyl N-(3-bromo-4-ethoxymethoxyphenyl)carbamate.

[0052] 1 H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ=7.67 (d,1H); 7.16 (dd, 1H); 7.07 (d, 1H); 7.21 6.40 [sic—Translator] (br, 1H); 5.23 (s, 2H); 3.77 (q, 2H); 1.51 (s, 9H); 1.22 (t, 3H).

[0053] C. Synthesis of tert.butyl N-(4-ethoxymethoxy-3-formylphenyl)carbamate

[0054] 3.3 g (0.01 mol) of tert.butyl (3-bromo-4-tert.butoxycarbonylaminophenyl)carbamate [sic—Translator] from step A was dissolved under argon in 100 mL of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran. Then, 17 mL (=0.03 mol) of a 1.6-molar solution of methyllithium in ether was added stepwise. The reaction mixture was then cooled to −20° C., and to it was added stepwise 7 mL (=0.01 mol) of a 1.5-molar solution of tert.butyl-lithium. At the end of the addition, the solution was allowed to agitate for an additional 30 min at the indicated temperature. Then, 1.2 g (0.02 mol) of dimethylformamide was added, and the reaction mixture was allowed to agitate at −20° C. for 1 hour. It was then heated slowly to 0° C. and hydrolyzed with a 10% phosphate buffer solution and poured onto ethyl acetate. The aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the organic phase was dried with magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off in a rotary evaporator, and hexane was added to the residue. The resulting yellow precipitate was then filtered off, washed with hexane and dried.

[0055] This gave 2.0 g (70% of the theoretical) of tert.butyl N-(4-ethoxymethoxy-3-formylphenyl)carbamate.

[0056] 1 H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ=10.43 (s,1H); 7.73 (d 1H); 7.61 (d, 1H); 7.20 (d, 1H); 6.45 (br, 1H); 5.31 (s, 2H); 3.75 (q, 2H); 1.51 (s, 9H); 1.23 (t, 3H).

[0057] D. Synthesis of methyl 3-(5-tert.butoxycarbonylamino-2-ethoxymethoxyphenyl)acrylate

[0058] 8.9 g (0.03 mol) of tert.butyl N-(ethoxymethoxy-2-formylphenyl)carbamate from step C was dissolved in 70 mL of tetrahydrofuran and to the resulting solution was added 11.9 g (0.036 mol) of methoxycarbonylmethylene triphenylphosphorane. The reaction mixture was allowed to agitate 3 hours at room temperature. The mixture was then poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate, and the organic phase was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over sodium sulfate and filtered, and the filtrate was evaporated.

[0059] Flash chromatography of the crude product on silica gel with hexane/ethyl acetate gave 10.5 g (95% of the theoretical) of product. The product was suspended in hexane/diethyl ether (10:1), and the pure E-isomer was obtained by crystallization from ethyl acetate/hexane.

[0060] 1 H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ=7.99 (d, 1H); 7.60 (brs, 1H); 7.26 (dd, 1H); 7.12 (d, 1H); 6.50 (d, 1H); 6.42 (brs, 1H); 5.25 (s, 2H); 3.79 (s, 3H); 3.73 (q, 2H); 1.51 (s, 9H); 1.21 (t, 3H).

[0061] E. Synthesis of 3-(5-tert.butoxycarbonylamino-2-ethoxymethoxyphenyl)acrylic acid

[0062] 2.53 g (0.06 mol) of lithium hydroxide monohydrate was added at 0° C. to a solution of 6.3 g (0.018 mol) of methyl 3-(5-tert.butoxycarbonylamino-2-ethoxymethoxyphenyl)acrylate from step D in 50 mL of tetrahydrofuran, 1 5 mL of methanol and 30 mL of water. The mixture was allowed to agitate 24 hours at 60° C. The reaction mixture was then poured onto a phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.0) and extracted with ethyl acetate, and the organic phase was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and then dried over sodium sulfate. The organic phase was partially evaporated to incipient formation of a precipitate, and hexane was then added. The precipitate was filtered off and washed with 50 mL of hexane. This gave 5.4 g (89% of the theoretical) of 3-(5-tert.butoxycarbonylamino-2-ethoxymethoxyphenyl)acrylic acid.

[0063] 1 H-NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-D6): δ=12.4 (br, 1H); 9.22 (br s, 1H); 7.81 (d, 1H); 7.73 (d, 1H); 7.42 (dd,1H); 7.10 (d, 1H); 6.33 (d, 1H); 5.27 (s, 2H); 3.67 (q, 2H); 1.48 (s, 9H); 1,13 (t, 3H).

[0064] F. Synthesis of 3-(5-amino-2-hydroxyphenyl)acrylamide derivatives

[0065] A mixture of 0.07 g (0.185 mmol) of 3-(5-tert.butoxycarbonylamino-2-ethoxymethoxyphenyl)acrylic acid, 0.037 g (0.24 mmol) of N-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate and 0.043 g (0.22 mmol) of N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride in dichloromethane was charged to a reactor. To it were added the appropriate amine (0.22 mol) and 0.047 g of N-ethyidiisopropylamine, and the mixture was allowed to shake for 12 hours at room temperature. At the end of the reaction, the reaction mixture was poured into 10 mL of ethyl acetate. The organic phase was then ex-tracted with sodium hydrogen carbonate and dried with magnesium sulfate. The sol-vent was distilled off in a rotary evaporator and the residue was purified on silica gel with an appropriate eluent (for example, petroleum ether/ethyl acetate or dichloro-methane/methanol). The resulting product in 4 mL of ethanol was heated to 50° C. To prepare the hydrochloride, 1.5 mL of a 2.9-molar ethanolic hydrochloric acid solution was added dropwise. The solution was evaporated, and the residue was dried.
