Abstract

Abstract Oxidizable developer-coupler combinations wherein the coupler is a water-soluble polyhalogen 3-aminophenol are stable in the absence of free oxygen and chemical oxidizing agents. They provide hair dyeings of specially desirable shades. The dyeings are color fast, wash-fast, thermostable, and non-toxic. The combinations can be applied in customary vehicles. Their dyeing properties are developed by air oxidation, by peroxides, or by both at an acid, neutral or alkaline pH.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 22
Claim 1
Independent Claim 44 words
An oxidizable developer-coupler combination for use in the dyeing of hair, comprising a water-soluble polyhalogen 3-aminophenol of the formula: ##STR3## wherein two or three of the R's are halogen and the other R or R's are hydrogen, as the coupler, and a developer therefor.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 44 words
An oxidizable developer-coupler combination for use in the dyeing of hair, comprising a water-soluble polyhalogen 3-aminophenol of the formula: ##STR3## wherein two or three of the R's are halogen and the other R or R's are hydrogen, as the coupler, and a developer therefor.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 26 words
The combination according to claim 1 wherein, in the coupler, the R's which designate halogen are selected from the group consisting of fluorine, chlorine and bromine.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 11 words
The combination according to claim 1 wherein the coupler is 2,4-dichloro-3-aminophenol.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 11 words
The combination according to claim 1 wherein the coupler is 4,6-dichloro-3-aminophenol.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 11 words
The combination according to claim 1 wherein the developer is p-toluenediamine.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 11 words
The combination according to claim 1 wherein the developer is p-aminophenol.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 11 words
The combination according to claim 1 wherein the developer is 2.5-diaminoanisol.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 11 words
The combination according to claim 1 wherein the developer is p-phenylenediamine.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 84 words
The combination according to claim 1 wherein the developer is a tetraaminopyrimidine of the formula ##STR4## wherein R 1 -R 6 represent hydrogen; C 1-4 alkyl; or --(CH 2 ) 1-4 X, wherein X represents --OH, -halogen, --NH 2 , --NHR' or --NR'R" wherein R' and R" represent C 1-4 alkyl; and where --NR'R" represents a 5 to 6 membered heterocyclic ring; and the R' and R" substituents together can be selected from the group consisting of tetramethylene, pentamethylene, azatetramethylene, azapentamethylene, oxatetramethylene, and oxapentamethylene.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 11 words
The combination according to claim 9 wherein the developer is 2,4,5,6-tetraaminopyrimidine.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 11 words
The composition according to claim 9 wherein the developer is 2-dimethylamino-4,5,6-triaminopyrimidine.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 11 words
The composition according to claim 9 wherein the developer is 2-morpholino-4,5,6-triaminopyrimidine.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 11 words
The composition according to claim 1 wherein the developer is 2-methylamino-4,5,6-triaminopyrimidine.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim 22 words
The composition according to claim 9 wherein at least one of the components of the composition are present in water-soluble salt form.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim 18 words

Claim 18
Dependent Claim 32 words
A preparation for use in the dyeing of hair, comprising a viscous aqueous carrier having a content of about 0.2% to 5% by weight of the developer-coupler combination according to claim 1.
Claim 19
Dependent Claim 21 words
The preparation according to claim 17 also containing an effective amount of hydrogen peroxide as oxidizer for the developer-coupler combination therein.
Claim 20
Dependent Claim 12 words
The preparation of claim 17 having a pH between 8 and 10.
Claim 21
Dependent Claim 28 words
A method of dyeing hair, which comprises applying to hair an effective amount of the preparation according to claim 17 and oxidizing the developer-coupler combination on said hair.
Claim 22
Dependent Claim 14 words
The method according to claim 20, wherein the developer-coupler combination is oxidized by air.
