Description
The invention relates to 5-substituted ortho-aminophenols, to a process for preparing them and to their use in dyeing compositions for dyeing keratinous fibres, and especially human hair.
These dyeing compositions are used for the dyeing known as oxidation dyeing or permanent dyeing. This dyeing process enables keratinous fibres, in particular white hair, to be dyed in a large number of hues.
The dyeing of keratinous fibres by so-called oxidation dyeing is known. This dyeing employs oxidation dye precursors also referred to as oxidation bases, which are colourless but develop a long-lasting coloration in the keratinous fibres on contact with an oxidizing agent. As oxidation dye precursors, para-phenylenediamines, ortho-phenylenediamines, para-aminophenols and ortho-aminophenols, substituted or unsubstituted, are known. These oxidation dye precursors, hereinafter referred to as "precursors" may be mixed with one or more compounds referred to as "couplers". These couplers, generally selected from meta-diamines, meta-aminophenols, meta-diphenols and phenols, enable the hues which would be obtained with the precursor or precursors to be modified.
French Patent 2,460,664 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,370,142 describe dyeing compositions and a hair dyeing process based on para-phenylenediamine and ortho-aminophenol, in very particular ratios and in the absence of couplers, to obtain colours ranging from chestnut brown to black.
It has been discovered that ortho-aminophenols substituted at the 5-position, alone or in combination either with other precursors or with couplers or with both, enable keratinous fibres, and especially hair, to be dyed in a rich spectrum of colours which were not obtained with the compositions described in the above-mentioned patents.
The subject of the present invention is the new compounds comprising the 5-substituted ortho-aminophenols corresponding to the general formula (I) below, their addition salts with an acid and their phenates. ##STR2##
In this formula:
R.sub.1 denotes a hydrogen atom, an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a hydroxyalkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; and
R.sub.2 denotes, independently of R.sub.1, an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an alkoxy radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a benzyl radical.
Another subject of the invention is the use of the compounds of formula (I) or their addition salts with an acid or their phenates, either alone or in combination with couplers. In this case, the compounds of formula (I) play, in oxidation dyeing, the part of oxidation dye precursors. In combination with other precursors, the compounds of general formula (I) or their salts or their phenates play the part of couplers for the dyeing of keratinous fibres, and especially human hair.
The subject of the present invention is also a dyeing composition for keratinous fibres, and especially for human hair, comprising one or more compounds of formula (I) in an aqueous vehicle.
The dyeing compositions containing one or more compounds of formula (I), either alone or in combination with a precursor or a coupler, enable a wide variety of hues to be imparted to hair: varieties of hues ranging from blues to purples when the compound (I) is combined with a precursor selected from p-phenylenediamines, reds to oranges when it is combined with a precursor selected from p-aminophenols. Used alone or in combination with a "coupler", the compound (I) imparts to hair hues ranging from blonde and beiges to oranges.
Thus, the compounds of formula (I) offer the cosmetological chemist a rich spectrum of hues, making possible a great wealth of formulations.
The invention also relates to the process for preparing the compounds of formula (I):
The compounds of formula (I) are obtained by a four-stage process, according to the reaction scheme below, in which R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 have the meaning defined above and B.sub.z denotes benzyl. ##STR3##
1st stage
The condensation of benzyl chloroformate with the aminonitrophenol of formula (V) is performed in a polar solvent such as dioxane, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulphoxide or N-methylpyrrolidone, at a temperature not exceeding 100.degree. C., in the presence of a trapping agent for hydrochloric acid which is preferably calcium carbonate.
2nd stage
The reduction of the nitrophenol of formula (IV) must be performed without causing cleavage of the benzyl carbamate. This reduction may be performed as follows:
(i) by catalytic hydrogenation using Raney nickel as a catalyst, in the presence of common solvents such as ethyl acetate or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alcohol and preferably ethanol, under a hydrogen pressure not exceeding 10.sup.6 pascals (10 bars);
(ii) reduction by hydrogen transfer using Raney nickel as a catalyst, hydrazine as a hydrogen donor and an aqueous-alcoholic mixture as a solvent;
(iii) reduction with sodium hydrosulphite, using water as a solvent;
(iv) reduction with iron/acetic acid, in a solvent such as water or ethanol.
These reduction reactions are performed at a temperature of between 20 and 100.degree. C.
3rd stage
The acylation of the compound (III) is carried out by means of an acid chloride or an alkyl chloroformate or alternatively, when R.sub.2 denotes an alkyl radical, acylation of the amino group with an acid anhydride.
4th stage
The cleavage of the benzyloxy radical is performed either by catalytic hydrogenation using palladium as a catalyst, or by hydrogen transfer using cyclohexene as a hydrogen donor in the presence of palladium.
These reactions are performed in an alcoholic or aqueous-alcoholic solvent, using a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alcohol.
The latter reactions are described in "Protective groups in organic synthesis" by W. GREEN, publ. John Wiley, p. 239 (1981).
The invention is illustrated by the non-limiting preparation examples below.

Claims
We claim:
1. A composition for dyeing keratinous fibers, especially human hair, comprising an effective concentration of a 5-substituted ortho-aminophenol of formula (I): ##STR10## or an addition salt with an acid or a phenate of said 5-substituted ortho-aminophenols of formula (I), wherein: R.sub.1 is selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and a hydroxyalkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; and R.sub.2, independently of R.sub.1, is selected from the group consisting of an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an alkoxy radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and a benzyl radical; said concentration is sufficient for dyeing said fibers; and further comprising an effective amount of at least one adjuvant selected from the group consisting of anionic, cationic, nonionic, and amphoteric surfactants, mixtures of anionic, cationic, nonionic, and amphoteric surfactants, organic solvents, thickeners, antioxidants, sequestering agents, buffers, and fragrances
2. The dyeing composition of claim 1, further comprising, in addition to said 5-substituted ortho-aminophenols, addition salts with acids or phenates thereof, an effective concentration of another oxidation dye precursor, which is not 5-substituted ortho-aminophenol of formula (I), wherein said effective concentration of said other precursor is sufficient, with said effective concentration of said 5-substituted ortho-aminophenols, addition salts with acids or phenates thereof, for dyeing said fibers.
3. The dyeing composition of claim 2, wherein said other oxidation dye precursors are selected from the group consisting of para-phenylenediamines, para-aminophenols, ortho-phenylenediamines, ortho-aminophenols and heterocyclic bases.
4. The dyeing composition of claim 1, further comprising an effective concentration of at least one coupler selected from the group consisting of couplers that, in the presence of an oxidizing agent, react with said 5-substituted ortho-aminophenol and any other oxidation dye precursors in said compositions to form dyes, wherein the concentration of said coupler is sufficient to dye said fibers a color that is different from the color which said fibers are dyed by said composition in the absence of said coupler, said any other oxidation dye precursors not being a 5-substituted ortho-aminophenol of formula (I).
5. The dyeing composition of claim 4, wherein the couplers are selected from the group consisting of phenols, meta-diphenols, meta-aminophenols, meta-phenylenediamines, meta-acylaminophenols, meta-ureido-phenols, meta-carbalkoxyaminophenols, .alpha.-naphthol and couplers possessing an active methylene group.
6. The composition of claim 5, wherein said couplers possessing an active methylene group are selected from the group consisting of .beta.-keto compounds, pyrazolones, 3,4-methylenedioxyphenol, 3,4-methylenedioxyaniline, 2-bromo-4,5-methylenedioxyphenol1,2-chloro-4,5-methylenedioxyphenol and 2-methoxy-4,5-methylenedioxyaniline.
7. The dyeing composition of claim 1, wherein the concentration of said 5-substituted ortho-aminophenols of formula (I) is between 0.02 and 6% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.
8. The dyeing composition of claim 4, wherein the total concentration of the oxidation dye precursors and the couplers is from 0.1 to 7% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.
9. The dyeing composition of claim 1, wherein the pH of which is between 8 to 11.
10. The dyeing composition of claim 1, which is in the form of a liquid, cream or gel or packaged in an aerosol can in the presence of a propellant.
11. The dyeing composition of claim 3, wherein the oxidation dye precursor is 2,5-diaminopyridine.
12. A hair dyeing process, comprising mixing the composition of claim 1 with an oxidizing agent selected from the group consisting of hydrogen peroxide, urea peroxide and persalts, applying the resulting mixture on the hair for a time sufficient for said oxidizing agent to effect formation of a dye from said 5-substituted ortho-aminophenols, at a temperature not exceeding 40.degree. C.
13. The method of claim 12, wherein said sufficient time is from 10 to 40 minutes.
14. The method of claim 12, further comprising rinsing the hair after the dyeing composition is applied and washing it with a shampoo.
15. A process for dyeing hair, comprising: applying the dyeing composition of claim 1 on the hair; and then, after 10 to 40 minutes, in a second step applying, for 10 to 40 minutes, a second composition that contains at least one coupler and an oxidizing agent at a concentration sufficient to effect dye formation, wherein: said coupler is selected from the group consisting of couplers that, in the presence of the oxidizing agent, react with said 5-substituted ortho-aminophenols, addition salts with acids or phenates thereof, and any other oxidation dye precursors in said compositions to form dyes; the concentration of said couplers is sufficient to dye said hair a color that is different from the color which said hair is dyed by said composition in the absence of said coupler; and the temperature during said dyeing process does not exceed 40.degree.
