Abstract

The improved hair dye compounds are 2-amino-6-chloro-4-nitrophenol derivatives of the general formula (I) ##STR1## wherein the radical R is a straight-chain or branched alkyl group with 1 to 5 carbon atoms. These hair dye compounds may be made by substitution of an amine group hydrogen of 2-amino-6-chloro-4-nitrophenol to form the amide and subsequent reduction, preferably with sodium borohydride. The hair dye compositions contain a compound of formula (I). The compounds of formula (I) dye the hair an intense red and can be favorably tolerated physiologically.
