Description

The present invention relates to Colorants keratin fibers that contain special p-phenylenediamine derivatives that on a nitrogen atom containing a urea group Wear substituents, a process for coloring hair with these Agents, as well as some of these p-phenylenediamine derivatives themselves and Intermediates that result from the production of these compounds.

For coloring of keratin fibers, especially human hair, play the so-called oxidation coloring agents because of their intense colors and good fastness properties 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 with one another or under coupling with one or more coupler components actual dyes.

Suitable as coupler substances particularly 1-naphthol, 1,5-, 2,7- and 1,7-dihydroxynaphthalene, 5-amino-2-methylphenol, m-aminophenol, resorcinol, resorcinol monomethyl ether, m-phenylenediamine, 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 and 2-methyl-4-chloro-5-aminophenol.

Good oxidation dye precursors should primarily meet the following requirements: the desired oxidative coupling Develop color shades with sufficient intensity and authenticity. she have to also good windability own on the fiber, especially with human hair no noticeable differences between stressed and fresh regrown hair may exist (Leveling). They are said to be constant be against light, warmth, sweat, Friction and the influence of chemical reducing agents, e.g. Perm liquids. Finally should - if as a hair dye coming into use - the Don't stain your scalp too much, and above all, they should be toxicological and dermatological Be harmless. Furthermore, the coloring achieved by bleaching can be easily removed from the hair if it is not the individual wishes corresponds to the individual person and should be undone.

Alone with a developer component or a special coupler / developer combination succeeds in usually not to give a natural shade to the hair receive. In practice, therefore, combinations are usually used various developer and / or coupler components used. It is therefore permanent Need for new, improved dye components that are also in toxicological and dermatological aspects are unproblematic.

Object of the present invention was therefore to develop new developer components that the requirements placed on oxidation dye precursors, in particular in terms of toxicological and dermatological properties, meet and colorations enable in a wide range of colors with good fastness properties.

Surprisingly it has now been found that special p-phenylenediamine derivatives which on a nitrogen atom containing a urea group Bear substituents, the oxidation dye precursors Requirements to a high degree suffice. The developer components according to the invention are characterized, among other things, by the fact that they are colored with very high color intensities, very enable good wash fastness and very good leveling behavior. The colors are among other things in the area of fashion nuances on damaged hair very washable.

2.1 Carrying out the experiment

For the preparation of the coloring cream, 50 g of a cream base were weighed into a 250 ml beaker and melted at 80 ° C. The cream base used had the following composition: Hydrenol ^® D 17.0% by weight Lorol ^® tech. 4.0% by weight Texapon ^® NSO 40.0% by weight Dehyton ^® K 25.0% by weight Eumulgin ^® B2 1.5% by weight water 12.5% by weight

1/400 mol of the developer or coupler component separately suspended in distilled water or while heating solved. Subsequently ammonia (<1 ml; 25% ammonia solution) added until the pH was between 9 and 10.

The dissolved dye precursors were one after the other in the hot Cream incorporated. Subsequently was made up to 97 g with distilled water and a pH value with ammonia set from 9.5. After filling up the batch was cold stirred with distilled water to 100 g (<30 ° C.), whereby a homogeneous cream was created.
