Abstract

Compositions for dyeing keratinic fibers, which contain p-phenylene-diamine derivative substituted by an imidazolyl group, the use of these compounds for dyeing keratinic fibers and a process for dyeing keratinic fibers using these compounds.

Claims (46)

1. A composition for dyeing keratinic fibers, comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable carrier, at least one p-phenylenediamine derivative compound of the formula (I)

wherein

A is a branched or unbranched alkylene group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, which can optionally carry one or more substituents, selected from hydroxy group(s) and halogen atom(s),

X is an optionally substituted imidazolyl radical,

R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are, independently of one another, a hydrogen atom, a C 1 - to C 4 -alkyl group, a C 1 - to C 4 -monohydroxyalkyl group or a C 2 - to C 6 -poly-hydroxyalkyl group, and

R 4 and R 5 are, independently of one another, a hydrogen atom, a C 1 - to C 4 -alkyl group, a C 1 - to C 4 -alkoxy group, a C 1 - to C 4 -monohydroxyalkyl group, a C 2 - to C 4 -polyhydroxyalkyl group or a halogen atom.

2. The composition of claim 1 wherein A is an ethylene group.

3. The composition of claim 2 wherein the compound of formula (I) is (4-aminophenyl)(2-(imidazol-5-yl)ethyl)amine.

4. The composition of claim 1 wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are each a hydrogen atom.

5. The composition of claim 4 wherein R 4 and R 5 are, independently of one another, a hydrogen atom, a methyl group, a chlorine or a fluorine atom.

6. The composition of claim 5 wherein R 4 and R 5 are each a hydrogen atom.

7. The composition of claim 1 wherein X is an optionally substituted imidazolyl radical of the formula (II)

where R6 is a hydrogen atom, a C 1 to C 4 -alkyl group, a C 1 - to C 4 -monohydroxyalkyl group, a C 2 - to C 4 -polyhydroxyalkyl group or a halogen atom.

8. The composition of claim 1 wherein A is a trimethylene group.

9. The composition of claim 8 wherein the compound of the formula (I) is selected from the group consisting of (4-aminophenyl)(3-(imidazol-1-yl)propyl)amine and (4-amino-3-methyl-phenyl)(3-(imidazol-1-yl)propyl)amine.

10. The composition of claim 1 wherein X is an optionally substituted imidazolyl radical of the formula (III)

where R7 is a hydrogen atom, a C 1 - to C 4 -alkyl group, a C 1 - to C 4 -monohydroxyalkyl group, a C 2 - to C 4 -polyhydroxyalkyl group or a halogen atom.

11. A compound having formula (I):

wherein:

A is an unbranched alkylene group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms;

X is an optionally substituted imidazolyl radical;

R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are, independently, H, C 1 - to C 4 -alkyl, C 1 - to C 4 -monohydroxyalkyl, or C 2 - to C 6 -poly-hydroxyalkyl; and

R 4 and R 5 are, independently, H, C 1 - to C 4 -alkyl, C 1 - to C 4 -alkoxy, C 1 - to C 4 -monohydroxyalkyl, C 2 - to C 4 -polyhydroxyalkyl, or halogen.

12. The compound of claim 11 , wherein X has formula (II):

wherein:

R 6 is H, C 1 to C 4 -alkyl, C 1 - to C 4 -monohydroxyalkyl, C 2 - to C 4 -polyhydroxyalkyl, or halogen.

13. The compound of claim 11 , wherein X has formula (III):

wherein

R 7 is H, C 1 - to C 4 -alkyl, C 1 - to C 4 -monohydroxyalkyl, C 2 - to C 4 -polyhydroxyalkyl, or halogen.

14. The compound of claim 11 , wherein the compound is(4-Aminophenyl)(2-(imidazol-5-yl)ethyl)amine.

15. A process for dyeing keratinic fibers comprising applying to the keratin fibers a composition comprising a compound of claim 11 , and after a period of time rinsing off the composition from the keratin fibers.

16. A compound having formula (I):

wherein:

A is an unbranched alkylene group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms;

X is an optionally substituted imidazolyl radical having formula (II):

R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are, independently, H, C 1 - to C 4 -alkyl, C 1 - to C 4 -monohydroxyalkyl, or C 2 - to C 6 -poly-hydroxyalkyl; and

R 4 and R 5 are, independently, H, C 1 - to C 4 -alkyl, C 1 - to C 4 -alkoxy, C 1 - to C 4 -monohydroxyalkyl, C 2 - to C 4 -polyhydroxyalkyl, or halogen; and

R 6 is H, C 1 to C 4 -alkyl, C 1 - to C 4 -monohydroxyalkyl, C 2 - to C 4 -polyhydroxyalkyl, or halogen.

17. The compound of claim 16 , wherein A is an unbranched alkylene group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms.

18. The compound of claim 16 , wherein A is trimethylene.

19. The compound of claim 16 , wherein the compound is (4-amino-phenyl)(3-(imidazol-1-yl)propyl)amine or (4-amino-3-methylphenyl)(3-(imidazol-1-yl)propyl)amine.

20. A composition for dyeing keratinic fibers, comprising:

a cosmetically acceptable carrier, and

a compound of claim 16 .

21. A process for dyeing keratinic fibers, comprising:

applying a composition comprising a compound of claim 16 to the keratin fibers and then rinsing the composition from the keratin fibers.
