## Background
This application claims benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/387,499, filed Jun. 11, 2002.


The disclosure relates to novel pyrrolidinyl-substituted para-phenylenediamine derivatives comprising a cationic radical chosen from compounds of formula (I), as defined herein. This disclosure also relates to the dye compositions comprising them and the process for dyeing keratin fibers using these compositions.
It is well-known practice to dye keratin fibers, such as human hair, with dye compositions comprising oxidation dye precursors, also known as oxidation bases, such as ortho- or para-phenylenediamines, ortho- or para-aminophenols, heterocyclic compounds such as diaminopyrazole derivatives, pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives, pyrimidine derivatives, pyridine derivatives, 5,6-dihydroxyindole derivatives and 5,6-dihydroxyindoline derivatives. Oxidation dye precursors, or oxidation bases, are colorless or weakly colored compounds that, when combined with oxidizing products, can give rise to colored compounds and dyes by a process of oxidative condensation.
It is also known that the shades obtained with these oxidation bases may be varied by combining them with couplers or coloration modifiers. These couplers or coloration modifiers may be chosen, for example, from aromatic meta-diamines, meta-aminophenols, meta-hydroxyphenols and certain heterocyclic compounds such as, for example, pyrazolo[1,5-b]-1,2,4-triazole derivatives, pyrazolo[3,2-c]-1,2,4-triazole derivatives, pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives, pyridine derivatives, pyrazol-5-one derivatives, indoline derivatives and indole derivatives.
The variety of molecules used as oxidation bases and couplers make it possible to obtain a wide range of colors.
The “permanent” coloration obtained with these oxidation dyes should moreover satisfy a number of requirements. For example, it should have no toxicological drawbacks, it should allow shades to be obtained in the desired intensity, and it should show good resistance to external agents such as light, bad weather, washing, permanent-waving, perspiration and rubbing.
The oxidation dyes should also, for example, allow white hairs to be covered. Further, the oxidation dyes should be as unselective as possible, i.e., they should produce the smallest possible color differences along the same length of keratin fiber, which may be differently sensitized (i.e. damaged) between its end and its root. The oxidation dyes should also, for example, show good chemical stability in the formulations, and, further for example, have a good toxicological profile.
In the field of hair dyeing, para-phenylenediamine and para-tolylenediamine are oxidation bases that are widely used. These oxidation bases may, for example, provide varied shades when used with oxidation couplers.
However, there is a need to discover novel oxidation bases that may have a better toxicological profile than para-phenylenediamine and para-tolylenediamine, while at the same time may give the hair at least one of the following excellent properties: color intensity, variety of shades, color uniformity and fastness with respect to external agents.
It is already known practice to use para-phenylenediamine derivatives substituted with a pyrrolidine group as oxidation bases for dyeing keratin fibers. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,851,237 discloses the use of 1-(4-aminophenyl)pyrrolidine derivatives optionally substituted on the benzene nucleus, to replace para-phenylenediamine.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,993,491 discloses the use of N-(4-aminophenyl)-2-hydroxymethylpyrrolidine derivatives optionally substituted on the benzene nucleus and on the pyrrolidine heterocycle in position 4 with a hydroxyl radical, in order to replace para-phenylenediamine.
Japanese Patent Application 11-158 048 discloses compositions containing at least one compound chosen from 4-aminoaniline derivatives optionally substituted on the benzene nucleus, and one of the nitrogen atoms of which is included in a 5- to 7-membered carbon ring.
It is established that these compounds may not make it possible to give the hair a coloration that is equivalent in quality to that obtained with para-phenylenediamine or with para-tolylenediamine due to the lack of intensity and color uniformity.
There is thus a real need to discover novel oxidation bases that may, for example, have both a good toxicological profile and properties such that the compositions comprising them may be able to give the hair at least one of the following excellent properties: color intensity, variety of shades, color uniformity and fastness with respect to the various attacking factors to which the hair may be subjected.
Disclosed herein are novel dye compositions that can overcome at least one drawback of the oxidation bases of the prior art. For example, disclosed herein are novel dye compositions for dyeing keratin fibers, which do not degrade the keratin fibers, while at the same time are capable of generating intense colorations in varied shades, and which may be unselective, resistant and can have a good toxicological profile.
Further disclosed herein is a compound chosen from pyrrolidinyl-substituted para-phenylenediamine derivatives of formula (I) and the addition salts thereof
