## Background
1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a novel silicone type cinnamic acid derivative and a method of preparing same, and to a novel UV-ray absorber and an external skin treatment agent.

More specifically, the present invention relates to a novel silicone type cinnamic acid derivative which can be dissolved in silicone oil, has an excellent water resistance and oil resistance, and has an UV-ray absorbing characteristic at wavelengths in the UV-B region, and to a novel external treatment agent having an excellent sunburn-prevention effect, useability, and prolonged cosmetic effects.

2. Description of the Related Art

As is well known, UV-rays cause various changes to the skin, and dermatologically, the acting wavelengths thereof are classified into long wavelength UV-rays of 400 to 320 nm, medium wavelength UV-rays of 320 to 290 nm, and short wavelength UV-rays shorter than 290 nm; called UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C, respectively.

Generally, most of the UV-rays to which humans are exposed are sunlight rays, and consist of UV-rays reaching the earth, i.e., UV-A and UV-B, and UV-rays absorbed in the ozone layer and not reaching the earth, i.e., UV-C. Of the UV-rays reaching the earth, UV-B rays cause erythema or blistering when irradiated on the skin at a certain dose or higher, and further, promote the forming of melamine in the skin, i.e., cause a darkening or dyeing of the skin.

Accordingly, protection of the skin from UV-B rays is very important from the viewpoint of preventing an accelerated aging of the skin and a generation or increase of splotching or freckling of the skin, and thus various UV-B absorbers to be used for this purpose have been developed.

Among existing UV-B absorbers, there are known PABA derivatives, cinnamic acid derivatives, salicylic acid derivatives, camphor derivatives, urocannic acid derivatives, benzophenone derivatives, and heterocyclic derivatives, and these UV-B absorbers are utilized exclusively by formulation in external treatment agents such as cosmetics and quasi-drugs.

As the external agent bases, silicone type bases with low molecular weights, such as dimethylpolysiloxane, are widely used, as is well known in the art, due to the excellent useability characteristics of such silicone type bases, e.g., a good extendability, plain feeling, and no stickiness, and an excellent function thereof in that they are not easily removed by sweat or water.

On the other hand, since sun-protection cosmetics in which UV-ray absorbers are formulated are used during hot summer, they are liable to be removed by excessive sweating or skin fat extrusions, and when these products are used at the beach or at a swimming pool, a problem arises in that they are removed when the skin is immersed in water. Therefore, there is obviously a need to enhance the cosmetic durability of these cosmetics, and accordingly, a silicone type base with a low molecular weight such as dimethylpolysiloxane, etc., is now widely used as the external treatment agent base, due in the most part to the properties possessed by silicone type bases; for example, a useability such as good spreadability, a plain feeling, no stickiness, and further, functional characteristics such as an excellent water resistance, oil resistance, and resistance to easy removal by sweat or water.

Nevertheless, existing UV-B absorbers have a remarkably low compatibility with or low solubility in silicone type bases, and accordingly, to formulate such UV-B absorbers in an external treatment agent having a silicone type base, an oily base must be added, and therefore, a drawback arises in that the useful properties of the silicon type base as described above are lost, and further, these compositions have an inferior water resistance and oil resistance.

Japanese Examined Patent Publication (Kokoku) No. 29866/1969, Japanese Unexamined patent Publications (Kokai) Nos. 58991/1985 and 108431/1985 disclose compositions having a UV-ray absorbability, but the chemical structures thereof include unsubstituted cinnamic acid as the basic skeleton, which has an absorption maximum wavelength on the UV-C side, in silicone oil, and thus the UV-B absorbability thereof is not satisfactory. FIG. 3 shows the UV absorption spectrum of 3-bis(trimethysiloxy)-methylsilyl-2-methylpropyl-cinnamate, from which it can be understood that this composition does not have an adequate wavelength region for a UV-B absorber.

Accordingly, the objects of the present invention are to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art and to develop a UV-ray absorber which can be dissolved in silicone oil, has an excellent water resistance and oil resistance, and can provide a satisfactory absorbing properties of UV-rays having wavelengths in the UV-B region.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel silicone type cinnamic acid derivative which can be dissolved in silicone oil, has an excellent water resistance and oil resistance, and has an adequate UV-B wavelength blocking region.

A further object of the present invention is to provide a method of preparing the above-mentioned silicone type cinnamic acid derivative at a high conversion.

A further object of the present invention is to provide an external treatment agent having an excellent UV-B absorbing effect and having a UV-B absorber stably formulated thereinto.

A still further object of the present invention is to provide an external treatment agent having an excellent useability or applicability and providing an excellent UV-B absorbing effect.

FIG. 3 shows a UV-spectrum of an unsubstituted silicone, which is a known compound, at a concentration of 10 ppm (solvent, ethanol).

The present invention is now described in detail.

The silicone type cinnamic acid derivative is constituted by the unit represent by the formula (I) and the formula O.sub.4-m)/2 SiR.sup.3 m. Examples of R.sup.1 as defined in the formula include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, t-butyl, phenyl groups, and a trimethylsiloxy group, but preferably a methyl group, a partially phenyl group, or a trimethylsiloxy group is used as the starting materials since they are readily available. Here, n represents the substitution number of R.sup.1. Examples of R.sup.2 include ##STR7## hexylene, cyclohexylene, and decylene groups, preferably an alkylene group having 2 to 5 carbon atoms, but to ensure a relatively smaller side reaction from a hydrosilylation reaction, ##STR8## is particularly preferred.

Examples of X include an methoxy group, ethoxy group, isopropoxy group and the like. Although these are not remarkably different with regard to a solubility thereof in silicone type bases and in UV-B absorption wavelength, from the aspect of availability or reagents, the methoxy group is particularly preferred. Here, a represents the substitution number of X.

In the siloxane unit represented by the formula O.sub.(4-m)/2 SiR.sup.3 m, R.sup.3 may include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, t-butyl, phenyl groups, and trimethylsiloxy group but preferably a methyl group, partially phenyl group, or trimethylsiloxy group is used, from the aspect of a ready availability thereof as starting materials. Here m is the substitution number of R.sup.3.

The silicone type cinnamic acid derivative of the present invention can be synthesized according to the preparation method of the present invention.

The ester of the formula (II) is obtained by converting the corresponding substituted cinnamic acid in a conventional manner into acid chloride and then reacting it with a monohydric alcohol having an olefinic unsaturated bond in the presence of an amine. As the reaction solvent, conventional organic solvents can be used, but aromatic organic solvents such as toluene, benzene, and xylene are preferred, and preferably the reaction is carried out at a high temperature, more preferably a reflux temperature.

Depending on the alcohol to be used for the reaction, Y in the formula (II) is different but is a monovalent hydrocarbon group having at least two carbon atoms and an oefinic unsaturated bond, which may include a heteroatom O, and includes for example, straight hydrocarbon groups such as CH.sub.2 .dbd.CH, CH.sub.2 .dbd.CHCH.sub.2 --, CH.sub.2 .dbd.CHCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --, CH.sub.2 .dbd.CH--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --, and CH.sub.2 .dbd.CH--CH.sub.2 --O--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --; branched hydrocarbon groups such as

CH.sub.2 .dbd.CH--CH(Me)--, CH.sub.2 .dbd.CH--C(Me).sub.2 --,

CH.sub.2 .dbd.C(Me)--(CH.sub.2).sub.2 --, CH.sub.2 .dbd.CH--CH(Et)--,

CH.sub.2 .dbd.CHC(Et).sub.2 --, CH.sub.2 .dbd.CHCH.sub.2 CH(Me)--,

CH.sub.2 .dbd.CHCH(Me)--CH.sub.2, and CH.sub.2 .dbd.C(Me)CH.sub.2 --

MeCH.dbd.CH--CH.dbd.CH.sub.2 --,

but an ester having one double bond at the terminal end is desirable from the viewpoint of the superior esterification reaction, hydrosilylation reaction, and stability of the silicone type cinnamic acid derivative derived from these esters (including light stability).

The silicone type cinnamic acid derivative of the present invention is obtained by allowing the ester of the formula (II) thus obtained to undergo a hydrosilylation reaction with siloxane. The siloxane to be used is an organic silicon compound having at least one Si-H, which is represented as the siloxane having an ##STR9## unit and R.sub.m .sup.3 SiO.sub.(4"m)/2 unit, for example, (ClEtO)SiH, (Me.sub.3 SiO).sub.2 MeSiH, (Me.sub.3 SiO).sub.3 SiH, (Me.sub.3 SiO)MePhSiH, (Me.sub.3 OSi)EtMeSiH, (Me.sub.3 OSi)EtPhSiH, and H(Me).sub.2 SiOSi(Me).sub.2 OSi(Me).sub.2 H

but from the aspect of a superior hydrosilylation reaction, ready availability of the silane and siloxane, and solubility in silicone type bases, 1,1,1,3,5,5,5-heptamethyltrisiloxane is preferred. Note, this is not limitative of the present invention, and similar compositions may be used provided that the silicone type cinnamic derivative of the present invention can be prepared without hindrance.

As the reaction solvent, conventional solvents can be used, preferably aromatic organic solvents such as toluene, benzene, and xylene, and preferably the reaction can be carried out at high temperature, more preferably at a reflux temperature. As the catalyst for hydrosilylation, a rhodium complex (Wilkinson complex), ruthenium comple, platinum complex, and chloroplatinate generally well known in the art can be used, but in view of the ready availability of the catalyst and of the simplicity of the operation of the synthetic reaction, a chloroplatinate catalyst is preferred. According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, a platinum vinyl siloxane catalyst having a formula of Pt{[(CH.sub.2 .dbd.CH)SiMe.sub.2 ].sub.2 O}.sub.2 is used, whereby a very high convention (e.g., almost 100%) can be attained and the desired compound can be obtained at a high yield with a small amount of by-products.

The silicone type cinnamic acid derivative of the present invention can be provided with from low to high molecular weights by selecting the ester of the formula (II) and the above siloxane depending on the purpose, including the properties of changing a liquid to a resinous solid at room temperature.

The cinnamic acid salt of the formula (IV) is obtained by reacting the corresponding substituted cinnamic acid with an alkali metal hydroxide in an aqueous or alcoholic solution. The preferable alkali metal is sodium or potassium. Then, the salt (IV) is dried and is reacted with the halogenoalkylene silicone derivative of the formula (V) is an organic solvent (e.g., dimethyl-formamide, dimethylsulfoxide) at an elevated temperature, preferably at 120.degree. C. The preferable halogen is chlorine.

To determine the solubilities of the silicone type cinnamic acid derivatives (dimethoxy, trimethoxy substituted derivatives) obtained in Synthesis Examples 2-4, 6, 8, 9, 11-13, and 15, the solubility tests in dimethylpolysiloxane and methylphenylpolysiloxane were conducted at 25.degree. C. In all of the tests, these derivatives were dissolved at 10% by weight or more, thus exhibiting an excellent solubility. Note, the esters obtained as precursors exhibited substantially no solubility.

To test the water resistance and oil resistance thereof, the silicone type cinnamic acid derivatives (dimethoxy, trimethoxy substituted derivatives) of the present invention were mixed, while stirring with water, a 50% ethanolic solution, and oils such as fluid paraffin, and were left to stand at 50.degree. C. for 60 days. No hydrolysis occurred, and thus it was confirmed that these derivatives had an excellent water resistance and oil resistance.

Examples of the use thereof as UV-ray absorbers are shown, and from the UV-spectra shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, it is obvious that these derivatives had a particularly excellent UV-B absorption effect.

The conventional UV-ray absorbers sometimes have properties such that the electron spectra thereof are shifted by, for example, 10 to 20 nm in a base or solvent into which UV-ray absorbers are incorporated. For example, the electron spectrum of N,N-dimethyl 2-ethylhexylcinnamate is shifted by about 10 nm in ethanol and dimethyl polysiloxane. It is required in the art that the solvent dependency of UV-ray absorbers be small. The silicone cinnamic acid derivatives of the present invention advantageously meet the above-mentioned requirements.

Furthermore, UV-ray absorbers are required to provide safety as a UV-ray absorber and a stability against heat and light. The silicone type cinnamic acid derivatives according to the present invention have no problems with the safety of, for example, the contact sensitization, photo-contact sensitization, mutagenicity, and photo-toxicity, and have a good heat stability including hydrolysis. Regarding the light stability, the present cinnamic acid derivatives are stable under normal sunlight irradiation conditions. The photo-isomerization (i.e., trans.fwdarw.cis) occurs only when an ultra-high-pressure mercury lamp is irradiated, but the absorption is still observed in the UV-B region. Thus, the present cinnamic acid derivative is still useful as an excellent UV-ray absorber even after the photo-isomerization. The UV-ray absorption effect when dissolved in a silicon base is shown below. (1)   Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane 48.0% (2)   Dimethylpolysiloxane (10 cs/25.degree. C.) 20.0% (3)   Methylphenylpolysiloxane (20 cs/25.degree.

These components were mixed until dissolved, and then filtered to obtain a product.

A product was obtained in the same way as above, except that (5) was omitted from the recipe of Example 1.

Measurements of the UV-ray prevention effect of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 obtained as described above were conducted.

The UV-ray prevention effect was measured by using the UV-ray sensitive composition described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. 62-112020.

The method of preparing the inventive composition is now described.

A solution of 1.0 g of Leuco Crystal Violet, 0.1 g of tetrabromodimethylsulfone, 10 g of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, and 100 ml of toluene was prepared to provide a Solution I. Separately, a solution of 7 g of N,N-dimethyl-p-aminobenzoic acid-2-ethylhexyl ester, 10 g of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, and 100 ml of toluene was prepared to provide a Solution II.

The Solution I was coated on an original for photography, and dried to an amount of 1 g/m.sup.2 as a solid, and then Solution II was coated thereon to an amount of 5 g/m.sup.2 as a solid, to obtain a UV-ray sensitive composition.

This UV-ray sensitive composition was a paper which changed color from white to pale purple to purple to deep purple in accordance with the increase in the dosage of UV-rays irradiated thereon. An amount of 40 mg of the sample to be measured was mixed with 12 g of castor oil and subjected to the roller treatment to be uniformly dispersed therein. A transparent PET film was placed on the above UV-ray sensitive composition shaped as a circle 5 cm in diameter, and 1.5 g of the composition was coated to a uniform thickness thereon and irradiated by a UV-ray lamp for 8 minutes.
