## Background
This application claims benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/410,311, filed Sep. 13, 2002.


Disclosed herein is a novel composition for the dyeing of human keratinous fibres, such as the hair, comprising a specific monocationic monoazo dye, and the processes for dyeing fibres employing such a composition. Also disclosed herein are the novel monocationic monoazo dyes and the use of the dyes disclosed herein as direct dyes.
It is known to dye human keratinous fibres, such as the hair, with dyeing compositions comprising oxidation dye precursors, generally known as oxidation bases, such as ortho- or para-phenylenediamines, ortho- or para-aminophenols, and heterocyclic compounds. These oxidation bases are colourless or weakly coloured compounds that, in combination with oxidizing substances, give rise to coloured compounds by an oxidative coupling process.
It is also known that the hues obtained with these oxidation bases can be varied by combining them with couplers or colouring modifiers, the latter being chosen from, for example, aromatic meta-diamines, meta-aminophenols, meta-diphenols, and certain heterocyclic compounds, such as indole compounds.
The variety of the molecules employed as oxidation bases and couplers makes it possible to obtain a rich palette of colours.
An oxidation dyeing process comprises applying to the keratinous fibres oxidation bases, or a mixture of oxidation bases and couplers, with an oxidizing agent, for example an aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution, leaving to stand, and then rinsing the fibres. The colorations which result therefrom are permanent and powerful, and withstand external agents, for example light, bad weather, washing, perspiration, and rubbing. Generally applied at basic pH, they make it possible to obtain dyeing and, if desired, simultaneously, lightening of the fibre, which is reflected in practice by the possibility of obtaining a final coloration which is lighter than the original colour. In addition, lightening the fibre has the advantageous effect of producing a unified colour in the case of grey hair and, in the case of naturally pigmented hair, of making the colour emerge, that is to say of rendering it more visible.
It is also known to dye human keratinous fibres by direct dyeing. The process conventionally used in direct dyeing comprises applying to the fibres direct dyes, which are coloured, and colouring molecules having an affinity for the fibres, leaving to stand, and then rinsing the fibres.
It is known, for example, to use nitrobenzene, anthraquinone or nitropyridine direct dyes, azo, xanthene, acridine or azine dyes or triarylmethane dyes.
The colorations which result therefrom are particularly chromatic colorations which, however, are somewhat temporary or semipermanent. The nature of the interactions that bind the direct dyes to the fibre and their desorption from the surface and/or from the core of the fibre are responsible for their low dyeing power and for their poor resistance to washing or to perspiration. In addition, these direct dyes can be generally sensitive to light, because of the low resistance of the chromophore with regard to photochemical attacks, and may result over time in fading of the colouring of the hair. In addition, they can be sensitive to light, dependent on their distribution, (i.e., uniform or nonuniform), in the keratinous fibre.
It is known to use direct dyes in combination with oxidizing agents. However, direct dyes are generally sensitive to the action of oxidizing agents, such as aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution, and reducing agents, such as sodium bisulphite, which generally renders them difficult to use in compositions for lightening direct dyeing based on aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution and based on a basifying agent or in oxidation dyeing compositions in combination with oxidation dye precursors or couplers.
For example, provision has been made, in Patent Applications FR-1 584 965 and JP-062 711 435, to dye the hair with dyeing compositions based on direct nitro dyes and/or on disperse azodyes and on aqueous ammoniacal hydrogen peroxide solution by applying to the hair, a mixture of the said dyes and of the said oxidizing agent prepared immediately before use. However, the colorations obtained can be insufficiently persistent and disappear on shampooing, allowing the lightening of the hair fibre to become apparent. Such a coloration can become unattractive on changing over time.
Provision has also been made, in Patent Applications JP-53 95693 and JP 55 022638, to dye the hair with compositions based on cationic direct dyes of oxazine type and on aqueous ammoniacal hydrogen peroxide solution by applying, in a first stage, aqueous ammoniacal hydrogen peroxide solution and then, in a second stage, a composition based on the direct oxazine dye. This coloration may not be satisfactory because of the fact that it requires a process rendered excessively slow by the leave-in times of the two successive stages. Furthermore, if a mixture prepared at the time of use of the direct oxazine dye with aqueous ammoniacal hydrogen peroxide solution is applied to the hair, no coloration is produced or, at least, a coloration of the hair fibre is obtained which is virtually nonexistent.
More recently, Patent Application FR 2 741 798 has disclosed dyeing compositions comprising direct azo or azomethine dyes comprising at least one quaternized nitrogen atom, the said compositions having to be mixed at the time of use at basic pH with an oxidizing composition. These compositions make it possible to obtain colorations with homogeneous, persistent and bright highlights. However, they do not make it possible to dye human keratinous fibres, such as the hair, with as much power as with oxidation dyeing compositions.
Thus, there exists a real need to try to find chromatic direct dyes that make it possible to dye human keratinous fibres as powerfully as oxidation dyes, which can be as stable as oxidation dyes towards light, which can also be resistant to bad weather, washing and perspiration, and which, in addition, can be sufficiently stable in the presence of oxidizing and reducing agents to be able to simultaneously obtain lightening of the fibre, either by use of lightening direct compositions comprising them or by the use of oxidation dyeing compositions comprising them. There also exists a real need to try to find direct dyes that make it possible to dye human keratinous fibres in order to obtain a very broad range of colours, for example highly chromatic colours, without forgetting the “basic” shades, such as the blacks and the browns.
These aims can be achieved with the present disclosure, one aspect of which is a composition for the dyeing of human keratinous fibres, for example the hair, comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, at least one monocationic monoazo dye of formula (I):

In the case of oxidation dyeing or of lightening direct dyeing, the dyeing composition is mixed, for example at the time of use, with a composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, at least one oxidizing agent, this oxidizing agent being present in an amount sufficient to develop a colouring. The mixture obtained is subsequently applied to the fibres. After a leave-in time of 3 to 50 minutes approximately, for example 5 to 30 minutes approximately, the fibres are rinsed, washed with a shampoo, rinsed again and then dried.
The oxidizing composition can also include various adjuvants conventionally used in hair dyeing compositions and as defined above.
The pH of the oxidizing composition that includes the oxidizing agent is such that, after mixing with the dyeing composition, the pH of the resulting composition applied to human keratinous fibres may range from 3 to 12 approximately, for example from 5 to 11. It can be adjusted to the desired value by means of acidifying or basifying agents commonly used in dyeing human keratinous fibres and as defined above.
The composition which is finally applied to the fibres can be provided in various forms, such as in the form of liquids, creams or gels or in any other form appropriate for carrying out dyeing of human keratinous fibres, such as the hair.
Another embodiment of the disclosure is a multi-compartment device or dyeing ‘kit’ wherein at least one compartment includes the dyeing composition of the disclosure and at least one other compartment includes the oxidizing composition.
