Process for dyeing keratinous fibres with a hydroxyindole in combination with a quinone derivative; and novel 1,4-benzoquinones

Process for dyeing keratinous fibres, comprising the step of applying to these fibres at least one composition A containing, in a medium appropriate for dyeing, at least one mono- or di-hydroxyindole the application of the composition A being preceded or followed by the application of a composition B containing, in a medium appropriate for dyeing, at least one quinone derivative chosen from ortho- or para-benzoquinones, monoimines or diimines of ortho- or para-benzoquinones, 1,2- or 1,4-naphthoquinones, sulphonimides of ortho- or para-benzoquinones, α, ω-alkylene-bis-1,4-benzoquinones, or 1,2- or 1,4-naphthoquinone-monoimines or -diimines; the mono- or di-hydroxyindoles and the quinone derivatives being chosen such that the oxidation-reduction potential difference ΔE between the oxidation-reduction potential Ei of the mono- or di-hydroxyindoles, determined at pH 7 in a phosphate medium on a vitreous carbon electrode by voltametry, and the oxidation-reduction potential Eq of the quinone derivative determined at pH 7 in a phosphate medium by polarography on a mercury electrode and relative to a saturated calomel electrode is such that

Preparation of Regioselectively Protected Hydroquinones by Phosphorylation of p-Benzoquinones with Trialkyl Phosphites

The title reaction has been applied to 10 monosubstituted p-benzoquinones (Scheme 2, Table).The regioselectivity of the O-phosphorylation is influenced by bulky substituents (t-butyl and trimethylsilyl) and, electronically, by the methoxy group.The regioselectivity, which is high in nonpolar media (benzene), is lower in polar solvents (CH2Cl2 and CH3CN).The synthetic potential of this transformation, exemplified by the preparation of compounds 29 (Scheme 3) and 32 (Scheme 4), is considerably extended by applying milder methods for the phosphate hydrolysis and by using the reagent couple P(OCH3)3/trimethylsilyl chloride, which gives clean access to p-hydroxyphenyl phosphates. p-Benzoquinones 4h and 4i with strong ?-acceptor substituents react in a different way, giving phosphonates.The electronically induced regioselectivity of the O- and C-phosphorylation is in accordance with the preferences expected for the attack by a nucleophilic phosphorylation agent.
