Description

AGENT FOR DYING KERA-CONTAINING FIBERS CONTAINING AT LEAST ONE AROMATIC NITROSOVERBING

The invention relates to an agent for dyeing keratin-containing fibers, in particular human hair, which contains aromatic nitroso compounds, the use of these aromatic nitroso compounds as a coloring component in hair dye compositions and a process for dyeing keratin-containing fibers, in particular human hair.

For dyeing keratin fibers, e.g. B. hair, wool or furs, generally either direct dyes or oxidation dyes, which are formed by oxidative coupling of one or more developer components with one another or with one or more coupler components, are used. Coupler and developer components are also referred to as oxidation dye precursors.

Primary aromatic amines with a further free or substituted hydroxyl or amino group in the para or ortho position, diaminopyridine derivatives, heterocyclic hydrazones, 4-aminopyrazolone derivatives and 2,4,5,6-tetraaminopyrimidine and derivatives thereof are usually used as developer components used.

Special representatives are, for example, p-phenylenediamine, p-toluenediamine, 2,4,5,6-tetraaminopyrimidine, p-aminophenol, N, N-bis (2-hydroxyethyl) -p-phenylenediamine, 2- (2.5 Diaminophenyl) ethanol, 2- (2,5-diaminophenoxy) ethanol, 1-phenyl-3-carboxyamido-4-amino-pyrazolon-5, 4-amino-3-methylphenol, 2-aminomethyl-4-aminophenol, 2-hydroxymethyl-4-aminophenol, 2-hydroxy-4,5,6-triaminopyrimidine, 2,4-dihydroxy-5,6-diaminopyrimidine and 2,5,6-triamino-4-hydroxypyrimidine.

M-Phenyleπdiaminderivate, naphthols, resorcinol and resorcinol derivatives, pyrazolones, m-aminophenols and substituted pyridine derivatives are generally used as coupler components. Particularly suitable coupler substances are α-naphthol, 1, 5-, 2,7- and 1, 7-dihydroxynaphthalene, 5-amino-2-methylphenol, m-aminophenol, resorcinol, resorcinol monomethyl ether, m-phenylenediamine, 2,4-diaminophenoxyethanol , 2-amino-4- (2-hydroxyethylamino) anisole (Lehmanns Blau), 1-phenyl-3-methyl-pyrazolon-5, 2,4-dichloro-3-aminophenol, 1,3-bis- (2,4-diaminophenoxy) propane, 2-chlororesorcinol, 4-chlororesorcinol, 2-chloro-6-methyl-3-aminophenol, 2-methylresorcinol, 5-methylresorcinol, 3-amino-6-methoxy-2-methylamino-pyridine and 3,5-diamino-2,6-dimethoxypyridine.

With regard to further customary dye components, reference is expressly made to the “Dermatology” series, edited by Ch. Culnan, H. Maibach, publisher Marcel Dekker Inc., New York, Basel, 1986, vol. 7, Ch. Zviak, The Science of Hair Care, chap. 7, pages 248 - 250 (direct dyes), and chap. 8, pages 264 - 267 (oxidation dyes), as well as the "European Inventory of Cosmetic Raw Materials", 1996, published by the European Commission, available in disk form from the Federal Association of German Industrial and Commercial Enterprises for Medicines, Health Care Products and Personal Care Products, Mannheim ,

With oxidation dyes intensive dyeings can be achieved with good fastness properties, but the development of the color is usually done under the influence of oxidizing agents such. B. H ₂ O ₂ , which in some cases can damage the fiber. Furthermore, some oxidation dye precursors or certain mixtures of oxidation dye precursors can sometimes have a sensitizing effect on people with sensitive skin. Direct dyes are applied under gentler conditions, but their disadvantage is that the dyeings often have inadequate fastness properties.

The use of the aromatic nitroso compounds described in more detail below for dyeing keratin fibers is not yet known.

The object of the present invention is to provide colorants for keratin fibers, in particular human hair, which are qualitatively at least equivalent to the usual oxidation hair colorants in terms of color depth, gray coverage and fastness properties, but without necessarily relying on oxidizing agents such as e.g. B. H ₂ O _{2 to be} instructed. In addition, the colorants may have no or only a very low sensitization potential.

Surprisingly, it has now been found that the aromatic nitroso compounds shown in the formula I can also be found in the absence of oxidizing agents excellent for dyeing keratin fibers. They result in colors with excellent brilliance and depth of color and lead to a wide range of shades. However, the use of oxidizing agents should not be excluded in principle.

The invention relates to an agent for dyeing keratin fibers, in particular human hair, containing at least one aromatic nitroso compound with the formula I,

(I)

in which R ² , R ³ and R ⁴ each independently represent a hydrogen or halogen atom, a C ₁ -C ₄ -alkyl group, CC ₄ -alkoxy group or hydroxy-C ₁ -C ₄ -alkoxy group, a hydroxyl group, sulfo group, Carboxy group, amino group through

and / or aryl groups can be substituted or can be part of a heterocycle, where two of the radicals together can form a fused aromatic or heteroaromatic ring.

Keratin-containing fibers are wool, furs, feathers and in particular human hair. In principle, however, the colorants according to the invention can also be used for dyeing other natural fibers, such as, for. As cotton, jute, sisal, linen or silk, modified natural fibers, such as. B. regenerated cellulose, nitro, alkyl or hydroxyalkyl or acetyl cellulose and synthetic fibers such as. B. polyamide, polyacrylonitrile, polyurethane and polyester fibers can be used.

Compounds of the formula I are preferably used in which a radical is a hydroxyl group or an optionally substituted amino group. As examples of aromatic nitroso compounds, N, N-dimethyl-4-nitrosoaniline, 4-nitrosophenol, 1-nitroso-2-naphthol, 2-nitroso-1-naphthol, 1-nitroso-2-naphthol-3,6- disulphonic disodium salt (Nitroso R salt), 2-nitroso-1-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid, 5-nitroso-8-hydroxyquinoline, 2-nitroso-5-dimethylaminophenol hydrochloride, 4-nitrosodiphenylamine and any mixtures thereof.

They can be used as substantive colorants or in the presence of customary oxidation dye precursors.

Coloring agents which contain the aromatic nitroso compounds with the formula I alone as the coloring component are preferably used for coloring in the yellow range. Colorings with an even higher brilliance and improved fastness properties (light fastness, wash fastness, rub fastness) over a wide range of shades from yellow to yellow-brown, orange, brown-orange, medium brown, dark brown, violet, dark violet to blue-black and black are achieved if the compounds used according to the invention are obtained with of the formula I together with at least one further component (hereinafter referred to as component B), selected from compounds having a primary or secondary amino group or hydroxy group, selected from primary or secondary aromatic amines, nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds and aromatic hydroxy compounds, and / or CH-active compounds , be used. On the one hand, these are compounds which, on their own, only weakly dye keratin-containing fibers and only give brilliant colors together with the aromatic nitroso compounds of the formula I. On the other hand, there are also compounds that are already used as oxidation dye precursors.

The above-mentioned compounds of component B can be used in an amount of 0.03 to 65, in particular 1 to 40 mmol, in each case based on 100 g of the total colorant. Several different aromatic nitroso compounds of the formula I can also be used together in all colorants; Likewise, several different compounds of component B can also be used together.

Also very good biodegradability are quaternary Esterverbindungen, so-called "esterquats", such as those sold under the trademark Stepantex ^® methylhydroxyalkyldialkoyloxyalkylammonium.

An example of a suitable cationic surfactant quaternary sugar derivative is the commercial product Glucquat ^® 100, according to CTFA nomenclature 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 natural vegetable or animal raw materials in the production of these substances, so that substance mixtures with different alkyl chain lengths depending on the respective raw material are obtained.

In the case of the surfactants, which are addition products of ethylene and / or propylene oxide onto 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. Under "normal" homolog distribution Mixtures of homologs understood that are obtained in the reaction of fatty alcohol and alkylene oxide using alkali metals, alkali metal hydroxides or alkali metal alcoholates as catalysts. In contrast, narrow homolog distributions are obtained if, for example, hydrotalcites, alkaline earth metal salts of ether carboxylic acids, alkaline earth metal oxides, hydroxides or alcoholates are used as catalysts. The use of products with a narrow homolog distribution can be preferred.

The constituents of the water-containing carrier are used to produce the colorants according to the invention in amounts customary for this purpose; z. For example, emulsifiers are used in concentrations of 0.5 to 30% by weight and thickeners in concentrations of 0.1 to 25% by weight of the total colorant.

For the coloring result it can be advantageous to add ammonium or metal salts to the coloring agents. Suitable metal salts are e.g. B. formates, carbonates, halides, sulfates, butyrates, valerates, capronates, acetates, lactates, glycolates, tartrates, citrates, gluconates, propionates, phosphates and phosphonates of alkali metals, such as potassium, sodium trium or lithium, alkaline earth metals, such as magnesium, calcium, strontium or barium, or of aluminum, manganese, iron, cobalt, copper or zinc, with sodium acetate, lithium bromide, calcium bromide, calcium gluconate, zinc chloride, zinc sulfate, magnesium chloride, magnesium sulfate, ammonium carbonate, chloride and acetate are preferred. These salts are preferably present in an amount of 0.03 to 65, in particular 1 to 40, mmol based on 100 g of the total colorant.

The pH of the ready-to-use coloring preparations is usually between 3 and 11, preferably between 4 and 10.

The present invention further relates to the use of aromatic nitroso compounds having the formula I,

(I)

in which R ¹ , R ² , R ³ and R ⁴ each independently represent a hydrogen or halogen atom, a C _r C ₄ alkyl group, CC ₄ alkoxy group or hydroxy-C C ₄ alkoxy group, a hydroxyl group, sulfo group , Carboxy group, amino group which can be substituted by C ₁ -C ₄ alkyl, hydroxy-C ₁ -C ₄ alkyl and / or aryl groups or can be part of a heterocycle, where two of the radicals together form a fused aromatic or heteroaromatic ring can form as a coloring component in oxidation hair colorants.

Yet another object of the present invention relates to a process for dyeing keratin-containing fibers, in particular human hair, in which a colorant comprising: A) at least one aromatic nitroso compound having the formula I,

(L)

in the R \ R ² , R ³ and R ⁴ each independently for a hydrogen or halogen atom, a C ^ C ^ alkyl group, CC ₄ alkoxy group or hydroxy-C ₁ -C ₄ alkoxy group, a hydroxy group, sulfo group , Carboxy group, amino group, which can be substituted by C ^ C ^ alkyl, hydroxy-CrC-alkyl, aryl groups or be part of a heterocycle, where two of the radicals together can form a fused aromatic or heteroaromatic ring, and B) at least one compound having a primary or secondary amino group or hydroxy group, selected from primary or secondary aliphatic or aromatic amines, nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds, aromatic hydroxy compounds, and / or at least one CH-active compound, and also conventional cosmetic ingredients, applied to the keratin-containing fibers , leave on the fiber for some time, usually approx. 30 minutes, and then rinse it out again or with a a shampoo is washed out.

The aromatic nitroso compounds of the formula I and the compounds of component B can either be applied to the hair simultaneously or else in succession, it being irrelevant which of the two components is applied first. The optionally contained ammonium or metal salts can be added to the first or the second component. There may be an interval of up to 30 minutes between the application of the first and the second component. Pretreatment of the fibers with the saline solution is also possible.

The aromatic nitroso compounds of formula I and the compounds of component B can either be stored separately or together, either in a liquid to pasty preparation (aqueous or anhydrous) or as a dry powder. If the components are stored together in a liquid preparation, this should be largely anhydrous to reduce a reaction of the components. When stored separately, the reactive components are only intimately mixed with one another immediately before use. In dry storage, a defined amount of warm (30 to 80 ° C) water is usually added before use and a homogeneous mixture is produced.
