Three-Step One-Pot Process of 3-Methyl-5-Benzofuranol from Amine, Aldehydes, and p-Benzoquinone

3-Methyl-5-benzofuranol was prepared by a one-pot process from morpholine, propionaldehyde, and p-benzoquinone in 85-87% isolated yields. Avoiding the tedious multistep isolation and purification operations, this practical and efficient process dramatically enhanced the production efficiency as well as reduced the amount of chemical wastes of reaction. The scale-up results showed that the performance was maintained, suggesting potential large-scale applications. Furthermore, the synthesis strategy showed high efficiency for a wide range of aliphatic aldehydes and ketone derivatives.

Dyeing composition for keratinous fibers, containing oxidation dye precursors and hydroxybenzofurane used as couplers, and dyeing process using these compositions

The invention relates to the use, as coupler in a dyeing composition, of a hydroxybenzofuran of formula (I): STR1 in which R1 and R2, which are identical or different, represent a hydrogen atom or a C1 -C6 alkyl radical. When they denote an alkyl radical, R1 and R2 can occupy any position on the benzofuran ring except the positions 2 and 3 at the same time. The OH group may occupy one of the positions 4, 5, 6 or 7, in combination with one or more para type or ortho type oxidation dye precursors or mixtures thereof, for dyeing keratinous fibers and in particular human hair. The dyeing composition according to the invention makes it possible to confer on the keratinous fibers a color which is fast to light, washes, adverse weather conditions and perspiration.
