their use for dyeing keratin fibers, including human keratin fibers such as the hair; dyeing compositions comprising such chemical entities; and to kits containing compositions comprising those chemical entities.

## Background
This application claims benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 to French Patent Application No. FR 0760136, filed Dec. 20, 2007, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Disclosed herein are new aminoindolizines, their use for dyeing keratin fibers, including human keratin fibers such as the hair, dyeing compositions comprising such aminoindolizines, and the methods employing these aminoindolizines.
It is known practice to dye keratin fibers, including the human hair, with dyeing compositions containing oxidation dye precursors, generally called oxidation bases, such as ortho- or para-phenylenediamines, ortho- or para-aminophenols and heterocyclic compounds. These oxidation bases are colorless or weakly colored compounds which, when combined with oxidizing products, may be able to produce colored compounds by a process of oxidative condensation.
It is also known that the shades obtained with these oxidation bases can be varied by combining them with couplers or coloration modifiers, the latter being chosen for example, from aromatic meta-diaminobenzenes, meta-aminophenols, meta-diphenols and certain heterocyclic compounds such as indole compounds.
The variety of molecules employed as oxidation bases and couplers can allow a rich palette of colors to be obtained.
It is desired that the “permanent” coloration obtained by virtue of these oxidation dyes, moreover, can meet at least one of a certain number of demands. Thus it should have no toxicological drawbacks, it should allow shades to be obtained in the desired intensity, and, if possible, it should be highly resistant to external agents such as light, weathering, washing, perming treatments, perspiration and rubbing.
It is desired that the dyes should also allow grey hair to be covered and, finally, should be as unselective as possible: that is, they should make it possible to produce minimal differences in coloration along a single keratin fiber, which in general is differently sensitized (i.e. damaged) between its tip and its root.
Surprisingly and beneficially, the Inventors have now discovered that it is possible to obtain new compositions for dyeing keratin fibers, including human keratin fibers such as the hair, which are capable of producing colorations with at least one of the benefits described above. For example, by the use of at least one aminoindolizine, the colorations may be at least one of varied shades which can be powerful, attractive, and relatively unselective and which may effectively withstand the various attacks to which the fibers may be subjected.
Moreover, these compositions exhibit a good toxicological profile.
Accordingly, one aspect of the present disclosure is a class of aminoindolizines, as well as processes for their synthesis.
Another aspect of the present disclosure is a composition comprising at least one aminoindolizine, the dyeing methods employing this composition, the uses of said composition according to the present disclosure for dyeing keratin fibers, including human keratin fibers such as the hair, and, in addition, multi-compartment devices or kits for dyeing.
The composition of the present disclosure can make it possible, for example, to obtain a keratin-fiber coloration which can be very powerful, relatively unselective and can be highly persistent, for instance to light.
At least one other feature, aspect, object ,and benefit of the present disclosure may emerge even more clearly from a reading of the description and examples which follow.
The present disclosure relates to at least one chemical entity chosen from aminoindolizines of formula (I), acid addition salts thereof, and solvates thereof:

            R3, R4, R5 and R6, independently of one another, are chosen from:

        wherein
        
            X is chosen from
        
        
        nitro, nitroso, arylazo and heteroarylazo radicals,
        radicals NHCOR15, R15 being chosen from linear and branched C1-C6 alkyl, and aryl and heteroaryl radicals,
        R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are as defined above.
    
    


Method of making the at least one aminoindolizine of formula (I) via condensation with an alpha-haloketone or alpha-alkoxyketone with an alpha-picoline derivative




The first step involves condensing a ketone bearing a halogen (Y) in alpha position with an alpha-picoline derivative 1 (Batroff V.; Flitsch W., Liebigs Annalen der Chemie, 1987, (7), p. 621). The indolizine 2 obtained reacts with any amine-precursor electrophile X+ chosen from NO+, NO2+, ArN2+ and HetArN2+ type, to give the compounds (3). The latter is hydrogenated by heterogeneous catalyst(s), such as Pd/C, Pd(II)/C, Ni/Ra, etc., or is reduced by a metal such as zinc, iron, tin, etc. (see Advanced Organic Chemistry, 3rd edition, J. March, and Reduction in organic Chemistry, M; Hudlicky) to give the indolizines (4).
It being understood that:

    
    
        X is chosen from:
        nitro, nitroso and arylazo and heteroarylazo radicals; and
        R1 is chosen from:
        linear and branched C1-C10 alkyl radicals optionally substituted by at least one entity chosen from OH and OR19 groups, and
        radicals COOH, CONH2, CONHR11, and CONR11R12; and
        R2 is chosen from:
        linear and branched C1-C6 alkyl radicals,
        hydrogen atoms,
        CN and CF3 radicals; and
        
            R3, R4, R5 and R6, independently of one another, are chosen from:
        
        
        aryl, heteroaryl and linear and branched C1-C6 alkyl radicals optionally interrupted by at least one entity chosen from groups N(R13) and oxygen atoms,
        hydrogen atoms,
        radicals OR9,
        halogens chosen from fluorine, chlorine and bromine,
        nitrogen-containing radicals chosen from NH2, NHR7 and NR7R8,
        COOH, CN and alkoxycarbonyl radicals COOR10,

where R7, R8, R9 and R10 are as defined above.

Synthesis Examples 4 and 5 are in accordance with this scheme.

Scheme II

        When R2 is chosen from COOH and alkoxycarbonyl radicals COOR10, wherein R1, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are as defined above, then

a carboxylation step is added after the step of obtaining the indolizines 2b (Bobrovskii, S. I. et al., Mosk. Gos. Univ., Moscow, USSR. Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii 1989, (12), 1634-8):

    
    






Synthesis Example 1 is in accordance with this scheme.
The COOH radical is obtained from the compound 3b by hydrolysis of the ester functional group (Eur. J. of. Org. Chem., 2001, p. 3705).




    
    
        When R2 is chosen from CN radicals, and R1, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are as defined above, then
    
    


the compound can be obtained directly from the compound 2b (Smaliy, R. V. et al., Synthesis, 2002, (16), p. 2416).




    
    
        When R2 is chosen from CONH2, CONHR11, and CONR11R12 radicals, R1, R3, R4, R5 and R6 being as defined above, then:

conversion of the ester functional group of the indolizines 3b into an amide functional group can be obtained either by direct amination (see Beckwith, in Zabicky, The Chemistry of Amides; Wiley: New York, 1970, pp. 86-96) or by saponification of the ester functional group to carboxylic acid, followed by treatment with various amines (see Beckwith, in Zabicky, The Chemistry of Amides, pp. 105-109).

    
    






    
    
        When R2 is chosen from SR, SOR and SO2R radicals, R1, R3, R4, R5 and R6 being as defined above, then:

there are a number of methods of introducing a group SR in position 3 of the indolizines of type 2b, for example:

        by reaction with a disulphide (Eur. Pat. Appl. 350384, 1990 and Synthesis, 1980, (11), pp. 886-7):
    
    






by reaction with a sulphur-containing derivative (Synthesis, 1980, (11), pp. 886-7):





The conversion of a group SR to SOR or SO2R at position 3 can be carried out from the indolizines of type 3f by oxidation, for example, of perbenzoic acids (Eur. Pat. Appl. 350384, 1990):




    
    
        When R2 is a radical OR9, R1, R3, R4, R5 and R6 being as defined above, then: it is possible to use the following procedure:
    
    






The first two steps are described by Leonard, N. J. et al. (J. Org. Chem., 1957, 22, p. 1445) and Colonna, M. et al. (J. Chem. Soc., PT2: Phys. Org. Chem., 1984, (2), p. 165), when X+=NO2.
In order that only one of groups R3, R4, R5 and R6 is an NH2 radical: the precursor of the amine can be provided from the start, for example,

    
    
        by starting from an aminopicoline, with care being taken that the amine is protected,
    
    






The deprotection step comes before the final reduction step. When the protecting group is a benzyl derivative, then the reduction by catalytic hydrogenation over Pd—C may serve as a deprotection step; or

    
    
        by introducing a halogen atom, which may subsequently lead to amine by substitution or by organometallic coupling
    
    






    
    
        by starting from a nitropicoline, the amine being obtained during reduction.
    
    






Method of Making the at Least One Aminoindolizine of Formula (I) Via Condensation of an Alkyl Alpha-haloacetate Derivative or Alpha-haloacetonitrile with a Pyridine, Followed by Cyclization by Reaction with a 2-Methylthionitroethene Derivative





Wherein:

    
    
        X is chosen from nitro, nitroso and azo (arylazo and heteroarylazo) radicals,
        R1 is chosen from:
        linear and branched C1-C10 alkyl radicals,
        sulphur-containing radicals chosen from SR, R being chosen from linear and branched C1-C6 alkyl radicals, and aryl radicals,
        nitrogen-containing radicals chosen from NHR7 and NR7R8,
        R2 is chosen from:
        COOH and CN radicals and alkoxycarbonyl radicals COOR10,
        
            R3, R4, R5 and R6, independently from each other, are chosen from:
        
        
        aryl, heteroaryl and linear and branched C1-C6 alkyl radicals optionally interrupted by at least one entity chosen from groups N(R13) and oxygen,
        hydrogen atoms,
        radicals OR9,
        halogens chosen from fluorine, chlorine and bromine,
        nitrogen-containing radicals chosen from NH2 in a protected form, NHR7 and NR7R8,
        COOH and CN radicals and alkoxycarbonyl radicals COOR10,

where R7, R8, R9 and R10 are as defined above.

    
    


In this case the group R1 may be introduced by at least 2 routes, including:

    
    
        starting from bis-2-methylthionitroethene:
    
    






wherein R1 can be chosen from:

    
    
        linear and branched C1-C10 alkyl radicals, according to Teran, N. et al., Tetrahedron, 1998, 54(42), pp. 12973-84;
        sulphur-containing radicals chosen from SR, in accordance with Rao, H. et al., Tet. Lett., 2003, 44(25), pp. 4701-4; and
        nitrogen-containing radicals chosen from NHR7 and NR7R8, in accordance with, for example, Wermuth, C. G. et al., J. Med. Chem., 1999, 42(4), 730-41; Ootsuka Y. et al., Jpn. Kokai Tokkyo Koho, 07157465, 1995 and Manjunatha, S. G. et al., Tet. Lett., 1990, 31(9), 1327-30.
        
            After cyclization of the pyridinium 2 with bis-2-methylthionitroethene and oxidation of the sulphur-containing derivative 3a obtained, by substitution of sulphonyl group of 3b:
        
        
    
    






wherein R1 can be chosen from:

    
    
        nitrogen-containing radicals chosen from NH2, NHR7 and NR7R8, and
        radicals OR9.
        
            With the proviso that if one of the groups R3, R4, R5 and R6 is an NH2 radical, then R1 must be other than H.
        
        
    
    


The precursor of the amine can be provided from the start, for example

    
    
        by starting from an aminopyridine, with the amine protected by a benzyl group (Andrews, A. F., J. Chem. Soc., PT1: Org. And Bio. Chem (1982), (12), 2995-3006 and Isin, E. M, JOC, (2001), 66(12), 4220-6)
    
    






The deprotection step should take place before the final reduction step. Where the protecting group is a benzyl derivative, the reduction, by catalytic hydrogenation over Pd—C, may serve as a deprotection step.

    
    
        by starting from a halogen atom, wherein the amino group can be introduced by substitution (Shimizu, K. et al., Jpn Kokai Tokkyo Koho (2001) JP 2001151753) or by organometallic coupling (Desmarets, C. et al., JOC, (2002), 67(9), 3029-36).
    
    






    
    
        by starting from a nitropyridine, wherein the amine is obtained in the reduction step.

Other than in the examples, or where otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients, reaction conditions, and so forth used in the specification and claims are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term “about.” Accordingly, unless indicated to the contrary, the numerical parameters set forth in the specification and attached claims are approximations that may vary depending upon the desired properties sought to be obtained by the present disclosure. At the very least, and not as an attempt to limit the application of the doctrine of equivalents to the scope of the claims, each numerical parameter should be construed in light of the number of significant digits and ordinary rounding approaches.
Notwithstanding that the numerical ranges and parameters setting forth the broad scope of the disclosure are approximations, unless otherwise indicated the numerical values set forth in the specific examples are reported as precisely as possible. Any numerical value, however, inherently contains certain errors necessarily resulting from the standard deviation found in their respective testing measurements.
The following examples are intended to illustrate the present disclosure without, however, being limiting in nature.

the radicals OR9,
hydrogen atoms,
halogens chosen from fluorine, chlorine and bromine,
nitrogen-containing radicals chosen from NH2, NHR7 and NR7R8, and
COOH and CN radicals and alkoxycarbonyl radicals COOR10,
where R7, R8, R9 and R10 are as defined above,


with the proviso that not more than one of the radicals R1, R3, R4, R5 and R6 is a nitrogen-containing radical chosen from NH2, NHR7 and NR7R8.
