"Oxidation colorants containing 2-amino-5-methylphenol"

The present invention relates to agents for dyeing keratinous fibers which contain 2-amino-5-methylphenol, a process for dyeing keratinous fibers with these agents and the use of this dye combination for dyeing keratinous fibers.

Today, human hair is treated in a variety of ways with hair cosmetic preparations. These include cleaning the hair with shampoos, caring for and regenerating it with conditioners and treatments, and bleaching, coloring and shaping the hair with dyes, tints, perming products and styling products. Products for changing or nuanced the color of the hair play an important role.

For temporary coloring, dyes or tints are usually used that contain so-called direct dyes as the coloring component. These are dye molecules that are absorbed directly into the hair and do not require an oxidative process to form the color. One of these dyes is henna, which has been known since ancient times for coloring the body and hair. These dyes are generally sensitive to shampooing, so that an often undesirable shift in shade or even visible "discoloration" can occur.

For permanent, intensive colorings with corresponding fastness properties, so-called oxidation dyes are used. Such dyes usually contain oxidation dye precursors, so-called developer components and coupler components. The developer components form under the influence of oxidizing agents or atmospheric oxygen with each other or by coupling with one or more

Coupler components make up the actual dyes. The oxidation dyes are characterized by excellent, long-lasting dyeing results.

Good oxidation dye precursors should primarily meet the following requirements: They must produce the desired color nuances with sufficient intensity and authenticity during oxidative coupling. They must also have good absorption properties on the fiber, whereby in the case of human hair in particular there must be no noticeable differences between damaged and newly grown hair (leveling properties). They should be resistant to light, heat, friction and the influence of chemical reducing agents, e.g. permanent wave liquids. Finally, if used as hair dyes, they should not stain the scalp too much and, above all, they should be harmless from a toxicological and dermatological point of view. Furthermore, the color achieved should be easy to remove from the hair by bleaching if it does not meet the individual's wishes and needs to be reversed.

A developer component or a special coupler/developer combination alone is generally not sufficient to achieve a natural-looking color shade on the hair. In practice, combinations of different developers and/or coupler components are therefore usually used. There is therefore a constant need for new, improved dye components, especially for achieving colors in the yellow range.

It has now surprisingly been found that particularly intense dyeings with excellent fastness properties and extraordinarily good toxicological properties can be obtained when dyes containing 2-amino-5-methylphenol are used.

A first object of the present invention is therefore an agent for coloring keratin fibers, containing in a cosmetically acceptable medium as dye precursors

It is not necessary for the oxidation dye precursors or the direct dyes to each be a single compound. Rather, the hair dyes according to the invention may contain other components in minor amounts, depending on the manufacturing process for the individual dyes, provided that these do not adversely affect the dyeing result or have to be excluded for other reasons, e.g. toxicological reasons.

With regard to the dyes that can be used in the hair dyes and tints according to the invention, express reference is also made to the monograph Ch. Zviak, The Science of Hair Care, Chapter 7 (pages 248-250; direct dyes) and Chapter 8, pages 264-267; oxidation dye precursors), published as Volume 7 of the series "Dermatology" (ed. Ch., Culnan and H. Maibach), published by Marcel Dekker Inc., New York, Basel, 1986, and the "European Inventory of Cosmetic Raw Materials", published by the European Community, available in diskette form from the Federal Association of German Industrial and Commercial Companies for Pharmaceuticals, Health Foods and Personal Care Products e.V., Mannheim.

The oxidation dye precursors are preferably contained in the compositions according to the invention in amounts of 0.01 to 20% by weight, preferably 0.5 to 5% by weight, in each case based on the total composition.

Indoles and indolines which have at least one hydroxy or amino group, preferably as a substituent on the six-membered ring, are preferably used as precursors of nature-analogous dyes. These groups can carry further substituents, e.g. in the form of an etherification or esterification of the hydroxy group or an alkylation of the amino group.

Derivatives are usually contained in amounts of 0.05-10 wt.%, preferably 0.2-5 wt.%.

Especially when using dye precursors of the indoline or indole type, it has proven advantageous to use an amino acid and/or an oligopeptide as an alkalizing agent.

In addition to the dye precursors, the agents according to the invention can contain direct dyes for further shading. These are usually selected from nitrophenylenediamines, nitroaminophenols, azo dyes, anthraquinones or indophenols. Preferred direct dyes are the compounds known under the international names or trade names HC Yellow 2, HC Yellow 4, HC Yellow 5, HC Yellow 6, Basic Yellow 57, HC Orange 1, Disperse Orange 3, HC Red 1, HC Red 3, HC Red 13, HC Red BN, Basic Red 76, HC Blue 2, HC Blue 12, Disperse Blue 3, Basic Blue 7, Basic Blue 26, Basic Blue 99, HC Violet 1, Disperse Violet 1, Disperse Violet 4, Basic Violet 2, Basic Violet 14, Acid Violet 43, Disperse Black 9, Acid Black 52, Basic Brown 16 and Basic Brown 17 as well as l,4-bis-(ß-hydroxyethyl)-amino-2-nitrobenzene, 3-nitro-4-(ß-hydroxyethyl)-aminophenol, 4-Amino-2-nitrodiphenylamine-2'-carboxylic acid, 6-nitro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxaline, 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, hydroxyethyl-2-nitro-toluidine, picramic acid, 2-amino-6-chloro-4-nitrophenol, 4-ethylamino-3-nitrobenzoic acid and 2-chloro-6-ethylamino-1-hydroxy-4-nitrobenzene. The agents according to the invention according to this embodiment preferably contain the direct dyes in an amount of 0.01 to 20% by weight, based on the total colorant.

Furthermore, the preparations according to the invention can also contain naturally occurring dyes such as henna red, henna neutral, henna black, chamomile blossom, sandalwood, black tea, buckthorn bark, sage, logwood, madder root, catechu, sedre and alkanet root.

The agents according to the invention preferably contain dye precursors in a suitable aqueous, alcoholic or aqueous-alcoholic carrier. For the purpose of hair coloring, such carriers are, for example, creams, emulsions, gels or

&eegr; 5009 is .:::::··::::

surfactant-containing foaming solutions, such as shampoos, foam aerosols or other preparations that are suitable for use on the hair. It is also conceivable to integrate the dye precursors into a powder or tablet-shaped formulation.

For the purposes of the present invention, aqueous-alcoholic solutions are understood to mean aqueous solutions containing 3 to 70% by weight of a C 1 -C 4 alcohol, in particular ethanol or isopropanol. The agents according to the invention can additionally contain other organic solvents, such as methoxybutanol, benzyl alcohol, ethyl diglycol or 1,2-propylene glycol. Preference is given to all water-soluble organic solvents.

The actual oxidative coloring of the fibers can generally be done with atmospheric oxygen. However, a chemical oxidizing agent is preferably used, especially if a lightening effect on human hair is desired in addition to coloring. Persulfates, chlorites and in particular hydrogen peroxide or its adducts with urea, melamine and sodium borate can be used as oxidizing agents. It is also possible to carry out the oxidation with the help of enzymes, whereby the enzymes are used both to produce oxidizing per compounds and to enhance the effect of a small amount of existing oxidizing agents. The enzymes (enzyme class 1: oxidoreductases) can transfer electrons from suitable developer components (reducing agents) to atmospheric oxygen. Oxidases such as tyrosinase, ascorbate oxidase and laccase are preferred, but also glucose oxidase, uricase or pyruvate oxidase. Another approach is to enhance the effect of small amounts (e.g. 1% or less, based on the total agent) of hydrogen peroxide by means of peroxidases.

The actual hair dye is expediently prepared immediately before use by mixing the preparation of the oxidizing agent with the preparation containing the dye precursors. The resulting ready-to-use hair dye preparation should preferably have a pH value in the range of 6 to 12. It is particularly preferred to use the hair dye in a slightly alkaline environment. The application temperatures can be in a range between 15 and 40 ^° C.

&eegr; 5009 19 .:::::**:::::

After an exposure time of 5 to 45 minutes, the hair dye is removed from the hair to be colored by rinsing. There is no need to rinse the hair with a shampoo if a carrier with a high surfactant content, e.g. a coloring shampoo, was used.

The agents according to the invention can also contain all active ingredients, additives and auxiliary substances known for such preparations. In many cases, these agents contain at least one surfactant, whereby in principle both anionic and zwitterionic, ampholytic, non-ionic and cationic surfactants are suitable. In many cases, however, it has proven advantageous to select the surfactants from anionic, zwitterionic or non-ionic surfactants.

All anionic surface-active substances suitable for use on the human body are suitable as anionic surfactants in preparations according to the invention. These are characterized by a water-solubilizing anionic group such as a carboxylate, sulfate, sulfonate or phosphate group and a lipophilic alkyl group with about 10 to 22 C atoms.

The alkyl radical R ¹ contains 6 to 22 carbon atoms and can be either linear or branched. Primary linear and 2-methyl-branched aliphatic radicals are preferred. Examples of such alkyl radicals are 1-octyl, 1-decyl, 1-lauryl, 1-myristyl, 1-cetyl and 1-stearyl. Particularly preferred are 1-octyl, 1-decyl, 1-lauryl and 1-myristyl. When using so-called "oxo alcohols" as starting materials, compounds with an odd number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain predominate.

The alkyl polyglycosides that can be used according to the invention can, for example, contain only one specific alkyl radical R ^1. However, these compounds are usually prepared from natural fats and oils or mineral oils. In this case, the alkyl radicals R are mixtures corresponding to the starting compounds or corresponding to the respective processing of these compounds.

Particularly preferred are those alkyl polyglycosides in which R ¹ consists essentially of Cs and Cio alkyl groups,
essentially consisting of Cn and Cn alkyl groups,
consists essentially of C5 to C16 alkyl groups or essentially of C12 to C16 alkyl groups.

Any mono- or oligosaccharide can be used as the sugar building block Z. Sugars with 5 or 6 carbon atoms and the corresponding oligosaccharides are usually used. Examples of such sugars are glucose, fructose, galactose, arabinose, ribose, xylose, lyxose, allose, altrose, mannose, gulose, idose, talose and sucrose. Preferred sugar building blocks are glucose, fructose, galactose, arabinose and sucrose; glucose is particularly preferred.

The alkyl polyglycosides which can be used according to the invention contain on average 1.1 to 5 sugar units. Alkyl polyglycosides with x values of 1.1 to 1.6 are preferred. Alkyl glycosides in which x is 1.1 to 1.4 are very particularly preferred.

In addition to their surfactant effect, the alkyl glycosides can also serve to improve the fixation of fragrance components on the hair. The expert will therefore take into account the fact that the perfume oil has an effect on the hair that extends beyond the duration of the hair treatment.

the hair is desired, preferably this class of substance is used as a further ingredient of the preparations according to the invention.

The alkoxylated homologues of the above-mentioned alkyl polyglycosides can also be
These homologues can contain on average up to 10 ethylene oxide
and/or propylene oxide units per alkyl glycoside unit.

Furthermore, zwitterionic surfactants can be used, especially as co-surfactants. Zwitterionic surfactants are surface-active compounds which have at least one quaternary ammonium group and at least one -COO ^W - or -SO s^ group in the molecule. Particularly suitable zwitterionic surfactants are the so-called betaines such as the N-alkyl-NjN-dimethylammonium glycinates, for example the cocoalkyl dimethylammonium glycinate, N-acyl-aminopropyl-�N,�N-

dimethylammonium glycinates, for example cocoacylaminopropyl dimethylammonium glycinate, and 2-alkyl-3-carboxylmethyl-3-hydroxyethyl-imidazolines, each with 8 to 18 C atoms in the alkyl or acyl group, as well as cocoacylaminoethyl hydroxyethyl carboxymethylglycinate. A preferred zwitterionic surfactant is the fatty acid amide derivative known under the INCI name Cocamidopropyl Betaine.

Ampholytic surfactants are also particularly suitable as co-surfactants. Ampholytic surfactants are understood to be surface-active compounds which, in addition to a Cs-Cg-alkyl or acyl group in the molecule, contain at least one free amino group and at least one -COOH or -SOaH group and are capable of forming internal salts. Examples of suitable ampholytic surfactants are N-alkylglycines, N-alkylpropionic acids, N-alkylaminobutyric acids, N-alkyliminodipropionic acids, N-hydroxyethyl-N-alkylamidopropylglycines, N-alkyltaurines, N-alkylsarcosines, 2-alkylaminopropionic acids and alkylaminoacetic acids, each with about 8 to 18 C atoms in the alkyl group. Particularly preferred ampholytic surfactants are N-cocoalkylaminopropionate, cocoacylaminoethylaminopropionate and Cn. 18-acylsarcosine.

&eegr;5009 23 . ::

According to the invention, the cationic surfactants used are in particular those of the quaternary ammonium compound, esterquat and amidoamine type.

Preferred quaternary ammonium compounds are ammonium halides, in particular chlorides and bromides, such as alkyltrimethylammonium chlorides, dialkyldimethylammonium chlorides and trialkylmethylammonium chlorides, e.g. cetyltrimethylammonium chloride, stearyltrimethylammonium chloride, distearyldimethylammonium chloride, lauryldimethylammonium chloride, lauryldimethylbenzylammonium chloride and tricetylmethylammonium chloride, as well as the imidazolium compounds known under the INCI names Quaternium-27 and Quaternium-83. The long alkyl chains of the above-mentioned surfactants preferably have 10 to 18 carbon atoms.

Esterquats are known substances that contain at least one ester function and at least one quaternary ammonium group as a structural element. Preferred esterquats are quaternized ester salts of fatty acids with triethanolamine, quaternized ester salts of fatty acids with diethanolalkylamines and quaternized ester salts of fatty acids with 1,2-dihydroxypropyldialkylamines. Such products are sold, for example, under the trademarks Stepantex®, Dehyquart® and Armocare®. The products Armocare® VGH-70, an N,N-bis(2-palmitoyloxyethyl)dimethylammonium chloride, as well as Dehyquart® F-75 and Dehyquart® AU-35 are examples of such esterquats.

The alkylamidoamines are usually produced by amidation of natural or synthetic fatty acids and fatty acid cuts with dialkylaminoamines. A particularly suitable compound from this group of substances according to the invention is stearamidopropyl dimethylamine, which is commercially available under the name Tegoamid® S 18.

Other cationic surfactants that can be used according to the invention are the quaternized protein hydrolysates.

Also suitable according to the invention are cationic silicone oils such as, for example, the commercially available products Q2-7224 (manufacturer: Dow Corning; a stabilized trimethylsilylamodimethicone), Dow Corning 929 Emulsion (containing a hydroxylamino-modified silicone, also known as amodimethicone), SM-2059 (manufacturer: General Electric), SLM-55067 (manufacturer: Wacker) and Abil®-Quat 3270 and 3272 (manufacturer: Th. Goldschmidt; diquaternary polydimethylsiloxanes, Quaternium-80).

An example of a quaternary sugar derivative that can be used as a cationic surfactant is the commercial product Glucquat®100, which according to INCI nomenclature is a "Lauryl Methyl Gluceth-10 Hydroxypropyl Dimonium Chloride".

The compounds with alkyl groups used as surfactants can each be uniform substances. However, it is generally preferred to start from native plant or animal raw materials when producing these substances, so that mixtures of substances with different alkyl chain lengths, depending on the respective raw material, are obtained.

In the case of surfactants which are addition products of ethylene and/or propylene oxide to fatty alcohols or derivatives of these addition products, both products with a "normal" homolog distribution and those with a narrow homolog distribution can be used. "Normal" homolog distribution refers to mixtures of homologs which are obtained in the reaction of fatty alcohol and alkylene oxide using alkali metals, alkali metal hydroxides or alkali metal alkoxides as catalysts. Narrowed homolog distributions, on the other hand, are obtained when, for example, hydrotalcites, alkaline earth metal salts of ether carboxylic acids, alkaline earth metal oxides, hydroxides or alkoxides are used as catalysts. The use of products with a narrow homolog distribution may be preferred.
