Abstract: The present invention concerns new s-triazines of the formula I wherein W 1 , W 2 and W 3 each independently signifies C 1 -C 20 alkyl or a group SpSil; X 1 , X 2 and X 3 each independently signifies O or NH; Sp signifies a spacer group; Sil signifies a silane, an oligosiloxane or a polysiloxane moiety; with the proviso that at least one of W 1 ,W 2 and W 3 signifies SpSil.

Description: The present invention relates to new s-triazines, a process for their manufacture and the use thereof as UV-B filters in light screening compositions, especially for the preparation of a cosmetic composition useful for protecting human skin from sunlight radiation. Many sunscreen agents have been described and developed in the past proposing 1,3,5 triazines as UV-B stabilizers. An example for such a triazine-compound is 4,4',4"-(1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyltriimino)-tris-benzoic acid-tris(2-ethylhexyl ester) sold under trade name UVINUL T-150. In the German Patent Publication DE-OS 3 206 3987 which is an equivalent of US Patent 4 617 390, s-triazine derivatives are disclosed which highly absorb in the UV-B region and are obtained by reacting trichlorotriazine with p-aminobenzoic acid esters. However, these compounds are very poorly soluble in the solvents commonly used in the formulations of sunscreen agents, thus limiting their use as ingredient of emulsions and cosmetic formulations, particularly when an increased dosage of the sunscreen agent is needed. In addition those filters tend to crystallise on the skin leaving a sandy skin feeling and reducing the sun protection factor (SPF) essentially. It has now been found that compounds of the general formula I below besides absorbing in the UV-B region show a good solubility in solvents commonly used in sunscreen agents. Thus, an object of the present invention are compounds of the general formula I, wherein W 1 , W 2 and W 3 each independently signifies C 1 -C 20 alkyl or a group Sp-Sil; X 1 , X 2 and X 3 each independently signifies O or NH; Sp signifies a spacer group; Sil signifies a silane, an oligosiloxane or a polysiloxane moiety; with the proviso that at least one of W 1 ,W 2 and W 3 signifies SpSil. Preferably W 1 , W 2 and W 3 signify SpSil; or W 1 and W 2 signify C 1 -C 20 alkyl, preferably 2-ethylhexyl, and W 3 signifies SpSil. Preferably X 1 , X 2 and X 3 signify oxygen, or X 1 and X 2 signify oxygen and X 3 signifies NH.

Furthermore, they can easily be dispersed in emulsions and have relatively low tendency to crystallise in emulsions or on the skin. Thus, the compounds of the present invention can be used for the preparation of light screening compositions, especially for the preparation of a cosmetic composition useful for protecting human skin from sunlight radiation. These products can be applied in high concentrations which effect improved sun protection. Effects of aggregation and crystallisation which furnish a loss in efficacy are reduced in the emulsions and on the skin. A further object of the present invention is a process for the preparation of the compounds of formula I. Another object of the present invention is a light screening composition containing one or more compounds of formula I as sunscreen agents. The synthesis of the compounds of formula I, wherein W 1 , W 2 and W 3 signify SpSil can be carried out according to the following steps I to III: wherein Sil and X are as defined above; Sp" has the same meaning as Sp defined above, except that it has one degree of unsaturation more than Sp. In other words if Sp" has one double bond Sp is saturated and if Sp" has a triple bond or two double bonds Sp has one double bond. wherein Sil, Sp and X are as defined above. wherein Sil, Sp and X are as defined above. The first step is a hydrosilylation reaction and can be performed according to methods known per se, such as at a temperature in the range of 0° to 200°C, preferably 40° to 110°C in the presence of a metal catalyst. The reaction is preferably carried out in an inert gas atmosphere, optionally in a solvent. Suitable catalysts are platin catalysts like metallic Pt on carbon, chloroplatinic acid, divinyl-tetramethyl-disiloxane platinum complex, or any other platinum complex; rhodium catalysts like metallic Rh 5% on carbon, bis(1,5-cyclooctadien)-di-Rh(I)-dichloride and the like; Mo, Ru, Pd, Cr, Fe, Co, Ni or Cu in their metallic form or as a complex. The catalysts can be homogeneous or heterogeneous. Most organic solvents can be used such as aromatic solvents, preferably toluene, xylene, pyridine; ether such as THF, dioxane and the like, aliphatic solvents such as dichloroethane, dichloromethane, chloroform, CCl 4 , acetonitrile, DMF, DMSO, ethanol and the like. The second step is a transesterification or an amide formation and can be performed according to methods known per se using a catalyst II. Thus, the reaction can be carried out at a temperature in the range of 50° to 250°C, optionally in a solvent. Organic solvents as listed under the first step can be used. Suitable catalysts are basic catalysts such as KOH, Na 2 CO 3 and the like, acidic catalysts such as H 2 SO 4 , HCl and the like or a Lewis acid catalyst like e.g. tetraisopropyl orthotitanate. The third step can be achieved just by treating slowly the product of the second step and cyanuric acid chloride at a temperature in the range of 20° to 280°C, preferably of 50° to 150°C without or with an appropriate solvent (e.g. toluene, xylene). Optionally a base can be present such as K 2 CO 3 , NaH and the like. The sequence of steps can be freely interchanged, e.g. it is possible to start with step III by treating cyanuric acid chloride with C 1-6 -alkyl 4-aminobenzoic acid ester followed by a transesterification or an amide formation (step II) and finishing with the hydrosilylation step I. The synthesis of the compounds of formula I, wherein one or two of the groups W 1 , W 2 and W 3 signify C 1 -C 20 alkyl and the remaining groups of W 1 , W 2 and W 3 signify SpSil can also be carried out comparable to the above reaction scheme. Cyanuric acid chloride is treated either at first with 4- aminobenzoic acid C 1 -C 20 alkyl ester at a temperature in the range of 0° to 40°C, and then with a compound of the formula A wherein X, Sp and Sil are as defined above at a temperature in the range of 20° to 280°C, or cyanuric acid chloride is treated at first with a compound of the formula A at a temperature in the range of 0° to 40°C and then with 4-aminobenzoic C 1 -C 20 alkyl ester at a temperature in the range of 20° to 280°C. Compounds of the formula I, wherein Sil is a polysiloxane are preferably prepared according to the following schema: wherein X and Sp are as defined above, Sil" is a polysiloxane as defined above and R 12 is a C 1 -C 10 divalent alkyl chain or a C 3 -C 10 divalent alkyl chain optionally interrupted by at least one oxygen atom.

They are especially qualified as light screening agents because of their high absorption of UV-B light, their good solubility in organic solvents, especially in solvents commonly used in cosmetic industry and because of their easy and cheap access. They can be combined with one or more known UV -B and/or UV-A filters. The preparation of novel light screening agents, especially of preparations for skin protection and, respectively, sunscreen preparations for everyday cosmetics, comprises incorporating a compound of formula I in a cosmetic base which is usual for light screening agents. Where convenient, other conventional UV-A, and respectively, UV-B filters can also be combined during this incorporation. Said combinations of UV filters can show a synergistic effect. The preparation of said light screening agents is well known to the skilled artisan in this field. The amount of compounds of the general formula I and other known UV-filters is not critical.
