(en)CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application is continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/707,371 filed on Feb. 16, 2007 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,513,917.


FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to agents for coloring keratin fibers, such as, for example, wool, furs and, in particular, human hair, comprising cationic azodyes.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
For the color-changing treatment of keratin fibers two coloring methods usually are used. In the first method, the coloration is produced with so-called oxidative or permanent colorants using a mixture of various developer substances and coupler substances and an oxidizing agent. If required, in this method, so-called direct (nonoxidative) dyes can be added to top off the coloring result or to produce particular color effects. The second method uses exclusively direct dyes, which are applied to the fibers in a suitable carrier mass. This method is easy to use, exceptionally gentle and is characterized by low damage to keratin fibers. The direct dyes used here are subject to a large number of requirements. For example, they have to be acceptable from a toxicological and dermatological point of view and allow the attainment of colorations in the desired intensity, which, inter alia, also requires adequate solubility in water. In addition, good lightfastness, acid fastness and rubbing fastness is required for the colorations achieved.
Compared with oxidative colorations, nonoxidative colorations, however, generally have lower durability and a poorer eveness of color. In addition, direct colorants are generally not able to “lighten” the hair since many direct dyes do not withstand the oxidizing agents required for the lightening and or the required pH of greater than or equal to 9.
WIPO Application Nos. WO 95/01722 A1 and WO 97/20545 A1 disclose colorants which comprise cationic azo dyes, in which the positive charge is delocalised in the conjugated system. Cationic azodyes, in which the cationic charge is localized in a side chain, are known to dye synthetic fibres, as described in European Application No. EP 56578 A1, for example. German Application No. DE 10118271 A1 discloses among others cationic disazodiazole derivatives and their use in hair dyes.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It has now been found that special cationic azodyes color can dye keratin fibers intensely and durably, are oxidation-stable, and thus can also be used in oxidative coloring systems.


DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention therefore provides:
(a) an agent for the nonoxidative coloring of keratin fibers, in particular human hair; (b) an agent for the simultaneous lightening and coloring of keratin fibers, in particular human hair, which, besides the dye of the formula (I), comprises an oxidizing agent; and (c) an oxidative colorant for keratin fibers, in particular human hair, based on at least one oxidation dye precursor;

where the agents (a), (b), and (c) are characterized by comprising at least one azodye of the general formula (I);

Preferred substituents for use herein include those having a Hammett Sigma Para (σ p ) Value from −0.65 to +0.75, preferably from −0.4 to +0.5. Hammett Sigma Values are described in Advanced Organic Chemistry—Reactions, Mechanisms and Structure (Jerry March, 5 th ed. (2001) at pages 368-375).
Alternative suitable radical scavengers for use herein are compounds according to the general formula (RS II):

wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , and R 5 are each independently selected from H, COO − M + , Cl, Br, SO 3 − M + , NO 2 , OCH 3 , OH or a C 1 to C 10 primary or secondary alkyl and M is either H or alkali metal. Preferably, the above-described radical scavengers have a pKa of more than 8.5 to ensure protonation of the hydroxy group.

Other suitable radical scavengers for use herein include those selected from group (RS III) benzylamine, imidazole, di-tert-butylhydroxytoluene, hydroquinone, guanine, pyrazine, piperidine, morpholine, methylmorpholine, 2-methoxyethylamine, and mixtures thereof.
Preferred radical scavengers according to the present invention are selected from the classes of alkanolamines, amino sugars, amino acids, esters of amino acids, and mixtures thereof. Particularly preferred compounds are: monoethanolamine, 3-amino-1-propanol, 4-amino-1-butanol, 5-amino-1-pentanol, 1-amino-2-propanol, 1-amino-2-butanol, 1-amino-2-pentanol, 1-amino-3-pentanol, 1-amino-4-pentanol, 3-amino-2-methylpropan-1-ol, 1-amino-2-methylpropan-2-ol, 3-aminopropane-1,2-diol, glucosamine, N-acetylglucosamine, glycine, arginine, lysine, proline, glutamine, histidine, sarcosine, serine, glutamic acid, tryptophan, and mixtures thereof, and the salts such as the potassium, sodium and ammonium salts thereof and mixtures thereof. Especially preferred compounds are glycine, sarcosine, lysine, serine, 2 methoxyethylamine, glucosamine, glutamic acid, morpholine, piperidine, ethylamine, 3 amino-1-propanol and mixtures thereof.
The radical scavengers according to the present invention preferably have a molecular weight of less than 500, preferably less than 300, more preferably less than 250 in order to facilitate penetration of the radical scavenger into the hair fiber. The compositions of the present invention preferably comprise from 0.1% to 10% by weight, preferably from 1% to 7% by weight of radical scavenger. The radical scavenger is also preferably selected such that it is not an identical species as the alkalizing agent. According to one embodiment of the present invention the radical scavenger may be formed in situ in the hair dyeing compositions prior to application to the hair fibers.
If required, the agent for coloring keratin fibers prior to application is mixed with an oxidizing agent. Suitable oxidizing agents are primarily hydrogen peroxide or its addition compounds onto urea, melamine, sodium borate or sodium carbonate in the form of a 1% to 12% strength, preferably a 3% to 9% strength, aqueous solution. In the case of agents with simultaneous lightening or bleaching, depending on the dye of the formula (I) used it is additionally possible to add persulfates, e.g., ammonium persulfate, potassium persulfate, or sodium persulfate. The weight ratio between color carrier mass and oxidizing agent is here preferably 5:1 to 1:3, in particular 1:1 to 1:2. Larger amounts of oxidizing agent are used especially at higher concentrations of oxidative dye precursors in the colorant, or if greater bleaching of the keratin fibers (in particular of the hair) is intended at the same time.
The colorant according to the invention is generally used by applying an amount of the hair colorant sufficient for the hair coloring, 30 grams to 200 grams depending on hair length, to the hair, allowing the hair colorant to act at 15° C. to 50° C. for 1 minute to 60 minutes, preferably 5 minutes to 30 minutes, then rinsing the hair thoroughly with water, optionally washing with a shampoo and/or after-treating with a hair-conditioning composition, and finally drying.
In addition, if no oxidizing agents are added to the coloring mass, the above-described colorant can comprise natural or synthetic polymers or modified polymers of natural origin customary for cosmetic compositions, as a result of which setting of the hair is achieved at the same time as the coloring. Such compositions are generally referred to as tinting setting compositions or color setting compositions.
Of the synthetic polymers known for this purpose in cosmetics, mention may be made, for example, of polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol or polyacrylic compounds, such as polyacrylic acid or polymethacrylic acid, basic polymers of esters of polyacrylic acid, polymethylacrvlic acid and amino alcohols, for example, salts or quaternization products thereof, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl acetates, and copolymers of such compounds, such as, for example, polyvinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate; while natural polymers or modified natural polymers which can be used are, for example, chitosan (deacetylated chitin) or chitosan derivatives.
The abovementioned polymers may be present in the colorant (a) according to the invention in the amounts customary for such agents, in particular in an amount of from 1% to 5% by weight. The pH of the tinting setting composition or color setting composition according to the invention is preferably 4 to 10.
The hair colorant with additional setting is used in a known and customary manner by wetting the hair with the setting composition, arranging (styling) the hair into the hairstyle and then drying.
The colorant with pendant cationic azodyes of the formula (I) permits, inter alia, a simple and gentle coloration of hair with varying degrees of damage (for example, recolorations of sections of hair which have already been oxidatively colored), the color carrier mass without oxidizing agent—neat or mixed with an acidic, neutral or basic aqueous diluent—being applied to the predamaged sections of hair (for example, the hair ends), while the color carrier mass mixed with the oxidizing agent is applied to the sections of hair with little or no predamage (for example, the new hair growth). The aqueous component used for dilution can comprise the abovementioned customary additives for solutions, creams, emulsions, or gels. This process allows colorations matched to the nature of the hair which are characterized by a hair-gentle evening out between roots and ends, which is not possible when using customary oxidative hair colorants since an oxidizing agent is always required to couple the dye precursors.
The colorant according to the invention permits a coloration of keratin fibers, in particular of human hair, with very strong color intensity and brilliance, a good eveness of color between damaged and undamaged hair (such as, for example, between hair ends and new hair growth), very good durability (washing fastness), very good mildness to the hair and variable application options with and without oxidizing agents.
The dyes of formula (I) can be prepared analogously to known preparation processes, such as, for example, in a one step procedure, via diazotation of 1,3-thiazol-2-amine, 1H-imidazol-2-amine, 1,2,4-thiadiazol-5-amine, 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amine, 4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-amine, or the like, and coupling with cationic aniline derivatives, or in a 2-step procedure via diazotation of 1,3-thiazol-2-amine, 1H-imidazol-2-amine, 1,2,4-thiadiazol-5-amine, 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amine, 4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-amine, or the like, and coupling with bromoalkyl-aniline derivatives, followed by quaternization with tertiary amines.
Some dyes of the formula (I) are known as textile dyes.
The examples below are intended to illustrate the subject-matter of the invention in more detail without limiting it thereto.

The L*C*h* color measurement values given in the preceding examples were measured using a calorimeter from Minolta, model Chromameter II. The L value is the lightness (i.e., the lower the L value, the greater the color intensity), while the C value is a measure of the colorfulness (“chroma”) (i.e., the greater the C value, the more colorful the color). The h value is the color shade angle (“hue”).
Unless stated otherwise, all of the percentages given in the present application are percentages by weight.
The dimensions and values disclosed herein are not to be understood as being strictly limited to the exact numerical values recited. Instead, unless otherwise specified, each such dimension is intended to mean both the recited value and a functionally equivalent range surrounding that value. For example, a dimension disclosed as “40 mm” is intended to mean “about 40 mm”.
