Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive element containing a photographic coupler and, more in particular, a lH-pyrazolo[3,2-c]-1,2,4-triazole magenta coupler having at a position other than the coupling position a ballasting group.
  • color images are obtained in the photographic silver halide elements by reaction between the oxidation product of an aromatic primary amine developing agent and a dye-forming coupler and it is known to use a combination of a yellow coupler, a cyan coupler and a magenta coupler as such dye-forming couplers.
  • 5-pyrazolone couplers are normally used as magenta dye-forming couplers. It is known that dyes formed from 5-pyrazolone couplers are excellent in fastness to heat and light and have the predominant absorption which approaches to the ideal one, but they tend to have absorptions other than the predominant one at about 430 nm which necessitates the use of masking couplers or other masking techniques. The dyes also display low resistance to the action of formaldehyde.

No. 1,047,612, pyrazolo-triazole couplers as described in US Pat. No. 3,725,067, and, more recently, 1H-imidazolo-[1,2-b]-pyrazole couplers as described in US Pat.

Couplers are rendered nondiffusible in the photographic elements and compatible with the coupler solvent or the polymer latex by including a ballast group on the coupler in a position other than the coupling position.
