Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material containing a novel acylacetamide type yellow dye-forming coupler.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material, an aromatic primary amine developing agent which is oxidized by exposing the material to light and then color development is reacted with a dye-forming coupler (hereinafter referred to as a coupler). By doing so, a color image is formed. Generally, in this method, a color reproduction method by a subtractive color method is used, and in order to reproduce blue, green, and red, yellow, magenta, and cyan color images having complementary colors are formed. A yellow dye-forming coupler (hereinafter referred to as a yellow coupler) for forming a yellow image
As the acylacetamide coupler and the malondianilide coupler, for forming a magenta color image, a 5-pyrazolone coupler and a pyrazolotriazole coupler are used as a magenta coupler, and for forming a cyan color image, a phenol coupler and a naphthol coupler are used as a cyan coupler, respectively. It is commonly used. Yellow dyes, magenta dyes and cyan dyes obtained from these couplers are in a silver halide emulsion layer or a layer adjacent to the silver halide emulsion layer which is sensitive to radiation which is complementary to radiation absorbed by the dyes. It is generally formed. By the way, yellow couplers, particularly acylacetamide couplers represented by benzoylacetanilide couplers and pivaloylacetanilide couplers are generally used for image formation. The former generally has a high activity of coupling with an oxidized product of an aromatic primary amine developing agent at the time of development, and a large molecular absorption coefficient of a yellow dye to be formed, and therefore a high sensitivity is required for a color photosensitive material for photographing, particularly a color photosensitive material. It is mainly used for negative films, and the latter is mainly used for color papers and color reversal films because of its excellent yellow dye spectral absorption characteristics and fastness.

However, in the benzoylacetanilide type coupler, although the coupling reactivity with the oxidation product of the aromatic primary amine developing agent during color development is high and the yellow azomethine dye produced has a large molecular extinction coefficient, There is a drawback that the yellow image has poor spectral absorption characteristics,
The pivaloyl acetanilide type coupler has excellent spectral absorption characteristics for a yellow image, but has low coupling reactivity with an oxidized product of an aromatic primary amine developing agent during color development, and a yellow azomethine dye to be formed. It has a drawback that the molecular extinction coefficient is small. Here, the high coupling reactivity of the coupler and the large molecular extinction coefficient of the resulting dye allow high sensitivity, high gamma value and high color density, resulting in so-called high color developability. In addition, the excellent spectral absorption characteristics in a yellow color image means, for example, absorption characteristics in which the long wavelength side of the spectral absorption is good and unnecessary absorption in the green region is small. Therefore, it has been desired to develop a yellow coupler which has the advantages of both of them, namely, high color developability (high coupling reactivity of coupler and large molecular extinction coefficient of dye) and excellent spectral absorption property of color image.

As an acyl group of an acylacetanilide type coupler, US Pat. No. Re 27,848 discloses a pivaloyl group, a 7,7-dimethylnorbornane-1-carbonyl group, a 1-methylcyclohexane-1-carbonyl group, and the like. JP-A-47-26133 discloses cyclopropane-
A 1-carbonyl group, a cyclohexane-1-carbonyl group and the like are disclosed. However, these couplers are inferior in some respects, such as poor coupling reactivity, low molecular extinction coefficient of dye, and poor spectral absorption characteristics of color image. Also, U.S. Pat.
No. 599 discloses a yellow coupler having a dioxane carbonyl group, but this coupler has problems in coupling reactivity, spectral absorption characteristics, and dark heat fastness of a dye. In addition, European Patent Publication No. 0447969 discloses that
Yellow couplers having a 5-membered cycloalkylcarbonyl group and a 3- to 5-membered heterocyclic carbonyl group are disclosed. However, these couplers had insufficient coupling reaction and spectral absorption characteristics.

[0005]

In recent years, photographic light-sensitive materials are strongly required to have higher sensitivity, higher image quality and better toughness than ever before. Therefore, there has been a strong demand for the development of a coupler which is excellent in color developability, spectral absorption characteristics of color images, and fastness. Therefore, the first object of the present invention is to provide a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material containing a yellow coupler excellent in color forming property. A second object of the present invention is to provide a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material containing a yellow coupler which is excellent in the spectral absorption characteristics of a yellow color image formed by color development. A third object of the present invention is to provide a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material containing a yellow coupler which is excellent in fastness of a yellow color image formed by color development.

[0006]

The above object of the present invention is achieved by the following silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material. A silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material characterized in that at least one layer on a support contains at least one acylacetamide type coupler having an acyl group represented by the following general formula (I). ..

These can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Further, a special bleach-fixing solution containing a combination of a fixing agent described in JP-A-55-155354 and a large amount of a halide such as potassium iodide can be used. In the present invention, it is preferable to use thiosulfate, particularly ammonium thiosulfate. The amount of the fixing agent per liter is preferably 0.3 to 2 mol, more preferably 0.5 to 1.0 mol. The pH range of the bleach-fixing solution or the fixing solution is preferably 3 to 10, and more preferably 5

The bleach-fixing solution or fixing solution contains sulfite (eg, sodium sulfite, potassium sulfite, ammonium sulfite, etc.), bisulfite (eg, ammonium bisulfite, sodium bisulfite, potassium bisulfite, etc.) as a preservative, It is preferable to contain a sulfite ion-releasing compound such as metabisulfite (eg, potassium metabisulfite, sodium metabisulfite, ammonium metabisulfite, etc.). These compounds are preferably contained in an amount of about 0.02 to 0.05 mol / liter in terms of sulfite ion, and more preferably 0.04 to 0.40 mol / liter. As the preservative, sulfite is generally added, but ascorbic acid, carbonyl bisulfite adduct, carbonyl compound or the like may be added. Further, a buffering agent, a fluorescent whitening agent, a chelating agent, a defoaming agent, an antifungal agent and the like may be added as required.

After desilvering processing such as fixing or bleach-fixing, washing and / or stabilizing processing is generally carried out. The amount of rinsing water in the rinsing process varies widely depending on the characteristics of the light-sensitive material (for example, depending on the material used such as couplers) and application, the rinsing water temperature, the number of rinsing tanks (number of stages), the replenishment method such as countercurrent and forward flow, and various other conditions. Can be set. Of these, the relationship between the number of washing tanks and the amount of water in the multi-stage countercurrent system is

Further, for washing water, a surfactant as a draining agent and a chelating agent typified by EDTA as a water softening agent can be used. Continue with the above washing process,
Alternatively, it may be directly treated with the stabilizing solution without going through the washing step. A compound having an image stabilizing function is added to the stabilizing solution, and examples thereof include an aldehyde compound typified by formalin, a buffering agent for adjusting a film pH suitable for stabilizing a dye, and an ammonium compound. Further, in order to prevent the growth of bacteria in the liquid and impart antifungal property to the processed light-sensitive material, the above-mentioned various bactericides and antifungal agents can be used. Further, a surfactant, an optical brightener and a hardener may be added.

A so-called rinse solution is also used as a washing solution or a stabilizing solution used after the desilvering process. The pH of the washing step or the stabilizing step is preferably 4 to 10, more preferably 5 to 8.
Although the temperature can be set variously depending on the use and characteristics of the light-sensitive material, it is generally 15 to 45 ° C, preferably 20 to 40 ° C. The time can be set arbitrarily, but a shorter time is preferable from the viewpoint of reducing the processing time. It is preferably 15 seconds to 1 minute 45 seconds, more preferably 30 seconds to 1 minute 30 seconds.

Formaldehyde is generally used as a stabilizer in the stabilizer for color negative films. In the present invention, formaldehyde may be used as a stabilizer as in the past, but from the viewpoint of work environment safety, N-methylolpyrazole, hexamethylenetetramine, formaldehyde bisulfite adduct, dimethylolurea, 1,4- Bis (1,2,4-triazole-
