new aromatic aminohydroxyles drift can be used as oxidation dyes, process of preparation and method of use of these products.

摘要

The invention comprises compounds of formula FORM:0899051/IV (b)/1 wherein R is an alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl or cycloalkyl group which may be substituted, especially by hydroxyl, alkoxy, amino, alkylamino and dialkylamino groups. They are prepared by reacting 1 : 2 : 4-trihydroxy-benzene with a primary amine R-NH2 in an aqueous medium protected from the air and then isolating the reaction product or a salt formed therefrom by reaction with an inorganic acid. The compounds are used as hair dyes (see Group IV (c)). In examples the preparation of 1-cyclohexylamino-, -phenylamino-, -o- or -p-methoxyphenylamino-, -o-, -m- or -p-methylphenylamino-, o- or -p-hydroxyphenylamino-, -methylamino-, -n-pentylamino-, -p-amino- or -dimethylaminophenylamino- and -diethyl-aminoethylamino-2 : 4-dihydroxy-benzenes is described. The triacetyl derivatives of the first seven compounds listed above are prepared.ALSO:Hair and fur are dyed by impregnating them with an aqueous solution of a compound of the formula FORM:0899051/IV (c)/1 wherein R is an alkyl, aryl, alkaryl or cycloalkyl group, which may be substituted, especially by hydroxyl, alkoxy, amino, alkylamino and dialkylamino groups (see Group IV (b)), and oxidizing the compound on the fibre. The oxidation may be effected by atmospheric oxygen, preferably after treatment of the fibre with an alkaline solution, e.g. of ammonia, ammonium carbonate or dimethylamine. Solutions of oxidising agents such as hydrogen peroxide, a hypochlorite, a bromate, a persulphate or a perborate may also be used to effect the oxidation. Furs may be mordanted with metals such as copper, iron or chromium before dyeing. Examples of the dyeing processes are given.
