Description  |
|
|
The present invention relates to new liposoluble unsaturated benzalmalonate
derivatives and to their use in the field of cosmetics as absorbers of
ultraviolet radiation for protecting human skin and hair against solar
radiation, as well as for stabilizing cosmetic compositions containing
photosensitive constituents.
It is known that light radiations of wavelengths between 280 nm and 400 nm
allow human skin to tan and that rays of wavelengths of between 280 and
320 nm, known by the name of UV-B, cause erythemas and skin burns which
can be harmful to the development of the suntan; this UV-B radiation must
therefore be filtered out.
It is also known that UV-A rays, of wavelengths between 320 and 400 nm,
causing skin to tan, are capable of inducing a deterioration in the
latter, especially in the case of a sensitive skin or of a skin which is
continuously exposed to solar radiation. In particular, UV-A rays produce
a loss of skin elasticity and the appearance of wrinkles, leading to
premature aging. They promote the triggering of an erythematous reaction
or intensify this reaction in certain individuals and may even be at the
source of phototoxic or photoallergic reactions.
It is therefore advantageous to have available compounds absorbing UV rays
over a broad band, in order to be able to filter out both UV-A and UV-B
rays.
It is known, furthermore, that the constituents forming part of cosmetic
preparations do not always have a sufficient stability to light and that
they are degraded by the action of light radiations.
Consequently, it is desirable to incorporate in these preparations
compounds capable of filtering out UV rays, which must, in addition,
exhibit good stability and sufficient solubility in the media usually
employed in cosmetics, and in particular in oils and fats.
It is also desirable to provide hair with good protection against
photochemical degradation in order to avoid, in particular, bleaching or a
change in shade.
Thus, the Applicant Company surprisingly found, in the course of its
research, that certain unsaturated liposoluble benzalmalonate derivatives
had good filtering properties in a broad range of wavelengths stretching
from 280 to 360 nm. In addition to their good filtering properties, the
new liposoluble benzalmalonate derivatives have an excellent chemical and
photochemical stability and have the advantage of being neither toxic nor
irritant and of being perfectly innocuous towards the skin.
They also have an excellent liposoluble nature, which makes them usable in
the fatty substrates employed in cosmetics and in particular in
compositions intended to protect human skin against UV rays, and more
particularly in sunscreen compositions.
The subject of the present invention is therefore the new liposoluble
unsaturated benzalmalonate derivatives of formula:

Owing to their liposoluble nature, the unsaturated benzalmalonate
derivatives of formula (I) above become evenly distributed in conventional
cosmetic substrates containing at least one fatty phase, and can be
applied to skin or to hair to form an effective protective film.
Another subject of the present invention is therefore a cosmetic
composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable substrate containing
at least one fatty phase, an effective quantity of at least one
unsaturated benzalmalonate derivative of formula (I) above.
The cosmetic composition of the invention may be employed as a composition
for protecting human skin or hair or as a sunscreen composition.
Another subject of the present invention is a process for protecting skin
and natural or sensitized hair against solar radiation, consisting in
applying to the skin or hair an effective quantity of at least one
compound of formula (I), contained in a cosmetically acceptable substrate
containing at least one fatty phase.
"Sensitized hair" means hair which has undergone a permanent-waving, dyeing
or bleaching treatment.
A further subject of the invention is a coloured or uncoloured cosmetic
composition stabilized to light, comprising an effective quantity of at

be in the most diverse forms usually employed for a composition of this
type. It may be especially in the form of oily or oleo-alcoholic lotions,
of emulsions such as a cream or a milk, of oleoalcoholic, alcoholic or

The solubilizing solvent used may be an oil, a wax and, in general, any
fatty substance, a lower monoalcohol or polyol or mixtures thereof. The
monoalcohols or polyols which are more particularly preferred are ethanol,
isopropanol, propylene glycol, glycerine and sorbitol.

The solid sticks consist of natural or synthetic waxes and oils, fatty
alcohols, fatty acid esters, lanolin and other fatty substances.
In the case of a composition packaged as an aerosol, traditional
propellants such as alkanes, fluoroalkanes and chlorofluoroalkanes are
employed.
The present invention is also aimed at cosmetic sunscreen compositions
containing at least one compound of formula (I) and capable of containing
other UV-B and/or UV-A filters.
In this case, the total quantity of filters present in the sunscreen
composition, that is to say the compound of formula (I) and optionally the
other filters, is between 0.5 and 15% by weight relative to the total
weight of the sunscreen composition.
These sunscreen compositions are in the forms indicated above for
compositions for protecting human skin.
When the cosmetic composition according to the invention is intended to
protect natural or sensitized hair against UV rays, this composition may
be in the form of a shampoo, lotion, gel or emulsion for rinsing or
application before or after shampooing, before or after dyeing or
bleaching, before or after permanent-waving, a styling or treating lotion
or gel, a lotion or gel for blow drying or setting, a hair lacquer, or a

stability to light during storage as a result of its constituents.
Such compositions contain 0.25 to 3% by weight of compound of formula (I).
The invention is also aimed at a process for protecting cosmetic
compositions against ultraviolet rays, consisting in incorporating in
these compositions an effective quantity of at least one compound of

First method:
50 g (0.308 moles) of 4-allyloxybenzaldehyde are heated to 220.degree. C.
for 4 hours under nitrogen and with stirring. The cooled reaction mixture
is taken up in dichloromethane and is extracted with 5N sodium hydroxide.
The aqueous phase is acidified with 6N hydrochloric acid and extracted
with dichloromethane. The organic phase is dried and the solvent
evaporated off, to give a brown-black oil. After vacuum distillation the
fraction, of bp=138.degree.-140.degree. C. at 106 Pa is collected (15 g,
yield=30%) as 3-allyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (white powder, mp=66.degree.
C.).
The above derivative (14.5 g, 0.089 moles), 30 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide,
13.6 g (0.098 moles) of anhydrous potassium carbonate and 11 ml (0.178
moles) of methyl iodide are introduced in succession. The whole is heated
to 60.degree.-70.degree. C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture is poured
into iced water and the whole is extracted with diisopropyl ether. The
organic phase is dried over sodium sulphate, is filtered, and the solvent
is evaporated off to obtain 3-allyl-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (pale yellow
oil, 13.6 g, yield =87%).
Second method:
2-Allylphenol (100 g, 0.75 mole), 2 liters of dry N,N-dimethylformamide and
anhydrous potassium carbonate (206 g, 1.49 moles) are introduced in
succession into a 5-liter reactor. Methyl iodide (92 ml, 1.49 moles) is
introduced dropwise at ambient temperature. The mixture is left at
38.degree. C. for 4 hours. The reaction mixture is poured into iced water
and is extracted with dichloromethane. The organic phase is washed with
water and dried. After evaporation of the solvent and vacuum distillation,
a fraction of 2-allylanisole distilling at 110.degree. C. at 5,000 Pa is
recovered (colourless liquid, 46 g, yield=42%).
N,N-Dimethylformamide (75 ml, 0.98 moles) is placed in a 500-ml reactor,
and phosphorus oxychloride (26 ml, 0.28 moles) is added, while cooling to
about 5.degree. C. The mixture is kept at 10.degree. C. for one hour and
the preceding derivative (41.5 g, 0.28 moles) is introduced dropwise. The
temperature is raised gradually to 100.degree. C. over one hour and the
reaction mixture is kept at this temperature for 10 hours. The cooled
mixture is poured into iced water and is extracted with diisopropyl ether.
The organic phases are washed with water, are dried over sodium sulphate,
are filtered, and the solvent is evaporated off to give a crude product
(31 g), which is purified by chromatography on silica 60 (eluent: 50:50
toluene/hexane) to give a fraction (4.5 g) of
3-allyl-4-methoxybenzaldehyde identical with that obtained by the first
method.

(9.09 g, 0.057 moles), toluene (15 ml), acetic acid (0.36 ml) and
piperidine (0.68 ml) is heated under reflux, under nitrogen, using a Dean
Stark. After 5 hours, heating, 1 ml of water has been collected. After
cooling, the toluene phase is washed with water, is dried and the solvent
is distilled off. An orange-coloured oil is obtained, which crystallizes.
It is recrystallized from diisopropyl ether with treatment using animal
charcoal. White crystals of diethyl 3-allyl-4-methoxybenzalmalonate are
obtained (12.7 g, yield =70%), which have the following characteristics:

180.degree. C. for 6 hours 30 minutes with stirring. Cooling is applied.
The brown solid is taken up in dichloromethane and extracted with 5%
strength sodium hydroxide. The aqueous phase is acidified with 3N
hydrochloric acid. The solid obtained is filtered off and recrystallized
from a 40:60 ethanol/water mixture.
3-Allyl-4-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde is obtained (light-beige powder,
62.5 g, yield =71%, melting point=83.degree.-84.degree. C.).

The preceding derivative (34 g, 0.18 moles), dimethylformamide (500 ml),
potassium carbonate (49 g, 0.35 moles) and methyl iodide (50 g, 0.35
moles) are introduced successively into a reactor. This is kept at a
temperature of 40.degree. C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture is dropped
into iced water and the oil formed is extracted with dichloromethane.
After washing, drying and evaporating off the solvent, a light-brown oil

--OC.sub.4 H.sub.9, R.sub.3 denotes the radical --OCH.sub.3 and R.sub.5
and R.sub.6 denote the radical --C.sub.2 H.sub.5.
First stage:
A mixture of 3-allyl-4-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde (10.25 g, 0.053
moles), dimethylformamide (150 ml), potassium carbonate (8.29 g, 0.06
moles) and 1-bromobutane (8.22 g, 0.06 moles) is kept at
40.degree.-45.degree. C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture is dropped into
iced water and the oil formed is extracted with dichloromethane. After
washing with water, drying and evaporation of the solvent, a brown oil is
obtained, which is passed through a bed of silica 60 to give a pale yellow
oil of 3-allyl-4-butoxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde (13 g, yield=91%).
Second stage:
A mixture of the preceding derivative (10.2 g, 0.041 moles), diethyl
malonate (7 g, 0.041 moles), toluene (12 ml), acetic acid (0.26 ml) and
piperidine (0.49 ml) is heated under reflux for 7 hours using a Dean
Stark. In the same manner as in Example 3, diethyl
3-allyl-4-butoxy-5-methoxybenzalmalonate is obtained (colourless oil, 10
g, yield 67%), which has the following characteristics:
.sup.1 H NMR spectrum (CDCl.sub.3): spectrum consistent with the expected
structure.
UV spectrum (CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2): .lambda..sub.max =305 nm, .epsilon.=15500,
.lambda..sub.max =325 nm, .epsilon..dbd.13530
(shoulder).
Elemental analysis:
Calculated: C, 67.67; H, 7.74; O, 24.58.
Found: C, 67.87; H, 7.83; O, 24.44.
