Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 111 words
In an oxidative dye composition for dyeing a keratin fiber, the composition containing a primary intermediate, a coupler, and a cosmetically acceptable vehicle, the primary intermediate and the coupler being present in respective amounts such that in the presence of an oxidizing agent they react to produce a tinctorially effective amount of a dye, the improvement comprising the coupler is a 2-substituted-1-naphthol compound having the formula I ##STR6## wherein R 3 is C 1 -C 6 alkyl or monohydroxy C 1 -C 6 -alkyl and the primary intermediate is a compound of the formula II: ##STR7## wherein R 1 and R 2 are each in dependently C 1 -C 6 alkyl.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 111 words
In an oxidative dye composition for dyeing a keratin fiber, the composition containing a primary intermediate, a coupler, and a cosmetically acceptable vehicle, the primary intermediate and the coupler being present in respective amounts such that in the presence of an oxidizing agent they react to produce a tinctorially effective amount of a dye, the improvement comprising the coupler is a 2-substituted-1-naphthol compound having the formula I ##STR6## wherein R 3 is C 1 -C 6 alkyl or monohydroxy C 1 -C 6 -alkyl and the primary intermediate is a compound of the formula II: ##STR7## wherein R 1 and R 2 are each in dependently C 1 -C 6 alkyl.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 26 words

Claim 6
Dependent Claim 102 words
In a method for dyeing hair including the steps of reacting a primary intermediate with a coupler in the presence of an oxidizing agent to produce a tinctorially effective amount of an oxidation hair dye and contacting a hair fiber with a composition containing said dye, the improvement comprising the coupler is a 2-substituted-1-naphthol compound having the formula I ##STR8## wherein R 3 is C 1 -C 6 alkyl or monohydroxy C 1 -C 6 -alkyl, and the primary intermediate is a compound of the formula II: ##STR9## wherein R 1 and R 2 are each independently C 1 -C 6 alkyl.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 102 words
In a method for dyeing hair including the steps of reacting a primary intermediate with a coupler in the presence of an oxidizing agent to produce a tinctorially effective amount of an oxidation hair dye and contacting a hair fiber with a composition containing said dye, the improvement comprising the coupler is a 2-substituted-1-naphthol compound having the formula I ##STR8## wherein R 3 is C 1 -C 6 alkyl or monohydroxy C 1 -C 6 -alkyl, and the primary intermediate is a compound of the formula II: ##STR9## wherein R 1 and R 2 are each independently C 1 -C 6 alkyl.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 26 words
