Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing 2,5-diaminotoluene by catalytic hydrogenation in an aprotic-non-polar solvent or in a mixture made of two or more aprotic-nonpolar solvents with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst or a mixture of two or more catalysts. The invention further relates to crystalline 2,5-diaminotoluene having characteristic crystal modification. As compared to conventional forms of administration common in industry, this is characterised in that it is largely insensitive to air oxidation.

Abstract: The cosmetic composition for cosmetically treating parts of the body comprising keratin-containing material includes one or more conventional cosmetic auxiliary ingredients and a cosmetically active compound, which is prepared by covalently bonding peptide linker molecules with known organic cosmetic effector molecules. The peptidic linker group is a peptide group, preferably with from 2 to 15 amino acids, which has binding specificity for keratin-containing material. The organic cosmetic effector molecules have dyeing, care-imparting, conditioning, protective, hardening, softening, repairing and/or strengthening properties for keratin-containing material. The method of cosmetically treating parts of the body that include keratin-containing material, for example a method of dyeing hair, includes applying the above-described cosmetic composition to the parts of the body.

Abstract: The object of the present invention are (3,5-diaminophenyl)(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)metha-none and the acid adducts thereof of formula (I), with 0?n?2 and HX denoting an inor-ganic or organic acid, the colorant containing these compounds and a method for producing the compounds of formula (I).

Abstract: The composition for dyeing fibers is obtained before use by mixing a first component A1, containing at least one enamine of the formula (I) with a second component A2, containing at least one carbonyl compound. A multi-component kit for dyeing and, later on, decolorizing fibers, and a method for temporarily dyeing hair with the composition for dyeing fibers and later removing the dyed hair color with a decolorizing component B containing a sulfite are also provided. The multi-component kit for dyeing and, later on, decolorizing fibers, separately contains the first component A1, the second component A2 and the decolorizing component B.
