Abstract

The invention relates to the new compounds consisting of N,N'"'"'-bis(β-hydroxyethyl)-N,N'"'"'-bis(4'"'"'-aminophenyl)-1,3-diamino-2-propanol and N,N'"'"'-bis(ethyl)-N,N'"'"'-bis(4'"'"'-amino-3'"'"'-methylphenyl)ethylenediamine, and their use in keratinous fiber dyeing compositions and processes.

Claims

1. N,N'"'"'-Bis(β

-hydroxyethyl)-N,N'"'"'-bis(4'"'"'-aminophenyl)-1,3-diamino-2-propanol or one of its addition salts with acids.

2. N,N'"'"'-Bis(ethyl)-N,N'"'"'-bis(4'"'"'-amino -3'"'"'-methylphenyl)-ethylenediamine or one of its addition salts with acids.

3. A composition for dyeing keratinous fibres, in particular for hair, comprising, an effective concentration of an oxidation dye precursor selected from the group consisting of N,N'"'"'-bis(β

-hydroxyethyl) -N,N'"'"'-bis (4'"'"'-aminoinophenyl)-1,3-diamino -2-propanol, N,N'"'"'-bis(ethyl)-N,N-40 -bis (4'"'"'-amino-3'"'"'-methylphenyl)ehtylenediamine, acid addition salts of N,N'"'"'-bis(β

-hydroxyethyl) -N,N'"'"'-bis (4'"'"'-amino-phenyl)-1,3-diamino -2-propanol and N,N'"'"'-bis(ethyl)-N,N'"'"'-bis(4'"'"'-amino-3'"'"'-methylphenyl) ethylenediamine and a carrier suitable for dyeing said fibres, wherein said effective concentration is sufficient, upon oxidative coupling of said precursor, to dye said fibres.

4. The composition fo claim 3, further comprising at least one coupler, wheein said couplers are selected from the group consisting of couplers that, in the presence of an oxidizing agent, react with said precursors to form dyes and wherein the concentration of said couplers is sufficient for formation of said dye, and wherein said couplers are selected from the group consisting of phenols, meta-diphenols, meta-phenylenediamines, meta-aminophenols, heterocyclic couplers derived from pyridine, sesamol and its derivatives, mono- or polyhydroxylated derivatives of naphthalene and of aminonaphthaline, pyrazolones and benzomorpholines.

5. The composition of claim 3, wherein said effective concentration is between 0.05 and 12% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.

6. The composition of claim 3, said carrier is water which has an alkaline pH.

7. The composition of claim 4, wherein the concentration of said couplers is between 0.05 and 10% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.

8. A process for dyeing keratinous fibres, comprising applying an effective amount of the composition of claim 3 to said fibres in the presence of an oxidizing solution.
