Description
The subject of the present invention is compounds containing an N.sup..epsilon. -alkylsulphonyl or N.sup..epsilon. -alkyl-aminocarbonyl group, which are derived from lysine, their process of preparation, their use, especially in cosmetics, and the compositions, especially cosmetic compositions, comprising them.
Compositions, especially cosmetic, pharmaceutical or food compositions, are known which can be provided in the form of a powder, known as a compact powder, obtained by compacting. They are generally anhydrous compositions which may be mainly composed of solid particles and of a fatty binder, shaped by compression.
The development of such compositions raises, however, many difficulties because the final composition must be sufficiently homogeneous and compact to have a good ability to be removed and, moreover, to avoid fragmentation which may be caused, especially, by impacts.
A description is given, in Patent Application EP 139,481, of cosmetic compositions using, as agents for modifying the surface of inorganic compounds, for the purpose of increasing the dispersibility thereof, either a monoacylated derivative of a basic amino acid in which the aliphatic acyl group has 8-22 carbon atoms or an N,N-diacylated derivative of a basic amino acid in which the acyl groups, which are identical or different, have 1-22 carbon atoms.
A description is also given, in Patent Application EP 336,265, of cosmetic compositions for hair shaping comprising, as surface-active agents, an N-monoacylated derivative of a basic amino acid in which the acyl group has 8-22 carbon atoms.
However, it is observed that the acylated derivatives of the basic amino acids described previously are very difficult and even impossible to compact.
The aim of the present invention is to provide new compounds which make it possible to facilitate the preparation of such compositions, while satisfying the abovementioned requirements, without exhibiting the disadvantages of the prior art.
The subject of the present invention is therefore a lysine derivative containing an N.sup..epsilon. -alkyl-sulphonyl or N.sup..epsilon. -alkylaminocarbonyl group of formula (I)
in which X represents an --SO.sub.2 R or --CONHR group, where R represents a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated, alkyl radical having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms, the salts of the compounds of formula (I), as well as their optical isomers of D or L configuration, and their mixtures.
Another subject of the invention is a composition, inter alia cosmetic, pharmaceutical, hygiene or food, comprising at least one derivative of formula (I).
A further subject of the invention is the use of at least one derivative of formula (I) as a substance for coating substrate particles. It has in fact been observed that the said particles, generally powders, had an improved feel when they were coated with the said derivative.
Moreover, it has been observed that the derivatives according to the invention also made it possible to confer particularly advantageous spreading, skin-adhesion and light-scattering qualities, as well as a pleasant and smooth feel and an improved water resistance, on the cosmetic composition comprising them.
More precisely, the subject of the invention is a lysine derivative of formula (I):
in which X represents an --SO.sub.2 R or --CONHR group, where R represents a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated, alkyl radical having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms, the salts of the compounds of formula (I), as well as their optical isomers of D or L configuration, and their mixtures.
The R radical can preferably represent a linear or branched alkyl radical preferably having 8 to 16 carbon atoms.

The derivatives according to the invention can be included in the composition in a proportion generally ranging from 0.05% to 80% by weight, preferably in a proportion from 0.5 to 30% by weight, with respect to the total weight of the composition.
The derivatives according to the invention can be present in the composition in the free form and/or in the form of a combination with substrate particles which they coat.
In addition to the derivative according to the invention, the composition can also comprise at least one additive chosen from the group consisting of surface-active agents, fatty substances, organic solvents, silicones, thickeners, emollients, sunscreen agents, treating agents, anti-foaming agents, moisturizing agents, fragrances, preservatives, anti-oxidizing agents, sequestrants, flavouring agents, basifying or acidifying agents, fillers and pigments.
Mention may be made, among the fatty substances which can be used in the composition according to the invention, of oils, waxes, fatty acids, fatty alcohols and/or their mixture.
The oils and the waxes can be of animal, plant, inorganic or synthetic origin. Mention may be made, among the oils, of hydrogenated palm oil, hydrogenated castor oil, liquid petrolatum, liquid paraffin or purcellin oil.

The composition according to the invention can be provided in the form of make-up compositions such as foundation creams, tinted creams, mascaras, blushers, eye shadows, lipsticks or nail varnishes.
According to a specific embodiment, the composition according to the invention can be provided in the so-called compact form, the derivative according to the invention facilitating compaction of the ingredients of the said compositions and the cohesion of the compacted product, which prevents easy disintegration of the said compacted product.
Mention may especially be made, among these compact compositions, of foundation creams, blushers, eye shadows and lipsticks.
The composition according to the invention can also be provided in the form of a pharmaceutical or hygiene composition, such as toothpastes, exfoliative compositions, powders for the body or for babies, and anti-perspirant powders, or indeed in the form of a food composition.

Example 1
Preparation of N.sup..epsilon. -dodecylsulphonyl-L-lysine
10 g of L-lysine monohydrochloride are dissolved in 44 ml of a 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution in a 250 ml three-necked flask equipped with a thermometer and a 50 ml dropping funnel.
A solution of 6.8 g of copper sulphate pentahydrate in 40 ml of water is introduced into the reaction mixture.
4.6 g of sodium hydrogencarbonate are added to the homogeneous mixture, which has been cooled to a temperature of 5.degree. C., followed by the dropwise addition of dodecanesulphonyl chloride in solution in THF.
After stirring overnight at room temperature, the reaction mixture is filtered and the precipitate, corresponding to the final product in the form of a copper complex, is washed with water and with acetone and then dried in an oven under reduced pressure. To remove the copper, the complex is treated at reflux for 4 hours with a 10% aqueous solution of the dehydrated disodium salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. The treatment can be repeated several times in order to obtain an entirely decomplexed product. 14 g (68% yield) of pearlescent white product are obtained.
Chemical analysis gives the following characteristics:
