Description

The present invention relates to agents for coloring keratinic fibers, containing special imidazolylmethyl-substituted developers, their use, a process for dyeing hair with these agents, as well as these imidazolylmethyl-substituted compounds themselves.

For dyeing Keratin fibers, especially human hair, play that way said oxidation colorant because of their intense colors and good fastness properties one preferred role. Such colorants contain oxidation dye precursors, so-called developer components and coupler components. The developer components form under the Influence of oxidizing agents or of atmospheric oxygen among one another or under coupling with one or more coupler components the actual dyes from.

When Developer components are usually primary aromatic amines with another, in para or ortho position free or substituted hydroxy or amino group, diaminopyridine derivatives, heterocyclic hydrazones, 4-aminopyrazolone derivatives and 2,4,5,6-tetraaminopyrimidine and its derivatives used.

Out document WO-A1-01 / 98276 are developer components with imino or oxo-substituted heterocycle methyl substituent known.

Quality Oxidation dye precursors are intended for oxidative coupling the desired Forming shades in sufficient intensity and authenticity. she should also have a good wind up on the fiber, especially in human hair no noticeable differences between strained and newly regrown hair should (leveling). They should be consistent be against light, heat, sweat, Friction and the influence of chemical reducing agents, e.g. Perm liquids. After all should they - if as hair dye coming to the application - the Do not stain the scalp too much, and above all, they should be toxicological and dermatological Regard safe. Furthermore, the color obtained by Bleaching can be easily removed from the hair if they are but not the individual wishes corresponds to the individual person and should be reversed.

Alone with a developer component or coupler component or a special coupler / developer combination succeeds in the rule not, one on the hair of course to get an effective color nuance. In practice, therefore, are usually Combination of various developer and / or coupler components used. It therefore exists constantly Need for new, improved dye components that the above Feature profile and also in toxicological and dermatological Regard unproblematic.

task The present invention was therefore, new dye precursors or oxidation dye precursors, in particular developer components to develop those who put the oxidation dye precursors Requirements, also in terms of toxicological and dermatological Properties, meet and dyes in a wide color spectrum with good fastness properties.

It was found according to the invention, that compounds according to below Formula (I) to the oxidation dye precursors, in particular Developer components meet requirements in a high degree. she allow, especially in the natural sound, high color intensities, a good leveling and good fastnesses.

Regarding further optional components as well as the amounts of these components used expressly on the specialist manuals known to those skilled in the art, eg. B. Kh. Schrader, Basics and formulations of cosmetics, 2nd edition, Hüthig Buch Verlag, Heidelberg, 1989, referenced.

The agents according to the invention contain the dye precursors preferably in a suitable aqueous, alcoholic or watery-alcoholic or aqueous-organic solvent vehicle. For the purpose the hair coloring are such carriers for example creams, emulsions, gels or surfactant-containing foaming solutions, such as shampoos, foam aerosols or other preparations, the for the Application on the hair are suitable. But it is also conceivable the dye precursors in a powdered or tablet-shaped formulation to integrate.

For the purposes of the present invention, aqueous-alcoholic solutions are to be understood as meaning aqueous solutions containing from 3 to 70% by weight of a C ₁ -C ₄ -alcohol, in particular ethanol or isopropanol. The compositions according to the invention may contain, in addition to or instead of the C ₁ -C ₄ -alcohol, (further) organic solvents, for example methoxybutanol, benzyl alcohol, ethyl diglycol or 1,2-propylene glycol. In this case, preference is given to all water-soluble or water-miscible organic solvents whose proportion in the water / organic solvent mixture can correspondingly be 3 to 70% by weight.

The actual oxidative staining the fibers can basically done with atmospheric oxygen. However, preference is given to a chemical Oxidizing agent used, especially if in addition to the coloring, a whitening effect desired on human hair is. The oxidizing agents are persulfates, chlorites and in particular Hydrogen peroxide or its addition products to urea, Melamine and sodium borate in question. However, according to the invention the oxidation colorant also be applied to the hair together with a catalyst, the oxidation of the dye precursors, e.g. by atmospheric oxygen, activated. Such catalysts are e.g. Metal ions, iodides, quinones or certain enzymes.

Suitable metal ions are, for example, Zn ²⁺ , Cu ²⁺ , Fe ²⁺ , Fe ³⁺ , Mn ²⁺ , Mn ⁴⁺ , Li ⁺ , Mg ²⁺ , Ca ²⁺ and Al ³⁺ . Particularly suitable are Zn ²⁺ , Cu ²⁺ and Mn ²⁺ . The metal ions can in principle be used in the form of any physiologically acceptable salt or in the form of a complex compound. Preferred salts are the acetates, sulfates, halides, lactates and tartrates. By using these metal salts, both the formation of the dyeing can be accelerated and the color shade can be specifically influenced.

Suitable enzymes include peroxidases, which can significantly enhance the effect of small amounts of hydrogen peroxide. Furthermore, such enzymes are suitable according to the invention which directly oxidize the oxidation dye precursors with the aid of atmospheric oxygen, such as, for example, the laccases, or generate small amounts of hydrogen peroxide and thus biocatalytically activate the oxidation of the dye precursors. Particularly suitable catalysts for the oxidation of the dye precursors are the so-called 2-electron oxidoreductases in combination with the specific substrates, eg

• Pyranose oxidase and eg D-glucose or galactose,
• Glucose oxidase and D-glucose,
• - glycerol oxidase and glycerin,
• Pyruvate oxidase and pyruvic acid or its salts,
• Alcohol oxidase and alcohol (MeOH, EtOH),
• Lactate oxidase and lactic acid and their salts,
• Tyrosinase oxidase and tyrosine,
• Uricase and uric acid or their salts,
• - choline oxidase and choline,
• - amino acid oxidase and amino acids.

The actual hair dye is expediently immediately before use by mixing the preparation of the Oxidizing agent with the preparation containing the dye precursors, produced. The resulting ready-to-use hair dye preparation should preferably have a pH in the range of 6 to 12. Especially the use of the hair dye in a weakly alkaline is preferred Milieu. The application temperatures can be in a range between 15 and 40 ° C lie. After an exposure time of usually 5 to 45 minutes becomes the hair dye title by rinsing of which to be colored Hair removed. The washing with a shampoo is eliminated, if a strong surfactant-containing carrier, e.g. a dyeing shampoo, has been used.

Especially in hard-to-dye Hair can be the preparation with the dye precursors as well without prior mixing with the oxidation component on the Hair will be applied. After an exposure time of 20 to 30 minutes will then - if necessary after an intermediate rinse - the oxidation component applied. After another exposure time of 10 to 20 minutes is then rinsed and if desired shampooed. In this embodiment, according to a first variant, in which the previous application of the dye precursors to effect a better penetration into the hair, the corresponding Medium adjusted to a pH of about 4 to 7. According to one second variant is first an air oxidation, with the applied agent being preferred has a pH of 7 to 10. At the subsequent accelerated Post-oxidation may be the use of acidified peroxydisulfate solutions as Oxidizing agent may be preferred.

One The second subject of the present application is the use the derivatives according to the invention - in particular as a developer - to To dye keratinic fibers.

One third subject of the present invention is a method for coloring keratinic fibers in which a hair dye according to the invention is applied to the fibers is rinsed off and after a contact time again.

One Fourth object of the present invention are compounds of the general formula (I) as described above.

One fifth The present invention relates to synthetic intermediates of formula (S-2) as described in the first subject of the invention become.
