Permanent dyes reactions

Permanent Hair Colorants. Permanent colorants produce hair coloration that lasts until the hair grows out. Color is formed inside the hair by hydrogen peroxide-induced coupling reactions of colorless dye precursors. A hiU range of shades can be obtained with this system and the permanent or oxidative hair colorants are considered to be the most important class of hair dyes. 

Squaraines 17b and 17c have terminal acetylene residues, which allowed to convert the squaraine dyes and tetralactam macrocycles into permanently interlocked rotaxane structures using copper-catalyzed and copper-free cycloaddition reactions with bulky stopper groups [58]. 

In our opinion, this book demonstrates clearly that the formalism of many-point particle densities based on the Kirkwood superposition approximation for decoupling the three-particle correlation functions is able to treat adequately all possible cases and reaction regimes studied in the book (including immobile/mobile reactants, correlated/random initial particle distributions, concentration decay/accumulation under permanent source, etc.). Results of most of analytical theories are checked by extensive computer simulations. (It should be reminded that many-particle effects under study were observed for the first time namely in computer simulations [22, 23].) Only few experimental evidences exist now for many-particle effects in bimolecular reactions, the two reliable examples are accumulation kinetics of immobile radiation defects at low temperatures in ionic solids (see [24] for experiments and [25] for their theoretical interpretation) and pseudo-first order reversible diffusion-controlled recombination of protons with excited dye molecules [26]. This is one of main reasons why we did not consider in detail some of very refined theories for the kinetics asymptotics as well as peculiarities of reactions on fractal structures ([27-29] and references therein). 

The dyeing process provides for temporary, semipermanent (direct dyes), and oxidation-type reactions (semipermanent or permanent colors). It may involve absorption or adsorption (electrostatic) of the colorant into/to the hair structure, bleaching or otherwise masking the natural melanin col-... 

Mercaptoethanol (2-ME) is used as an initiator for polymeric reactions a reagent for diagnostic bioassays a rust inhibitor for steel a brightening agent in copper deposition a tarnish remover for alloys and metals an ingredient in hair permanent chemicals, and in hair and wool dyes a stabilizer and a mosquito control agent.
