' The present invention relates tobenzimidazole sulfonic acids having particular utility in color photography for the production of cyan colored images by color forming development. The present application is a division of my copending application Ser. No. "745,113, filed April 30, 1947,
entitled Cyan Color Farmers Capable of Yielding Fine Grained Images.
In U. S. P. 2,373,821 there is disclosed cyan color 'formers comprising an aromatic hydroxy compound containing in its molecule a 5-membered' heterocyclic nucleus, such as, a benzothiazole, benzoxazole or benzimidazole. Specific reference is made in the patent to the preparation of 2-(2-[1-hydroxyl naphthyl) benzimidazole by heating the condensation product from l-hydroxy-Z-naphthoic acid and o-phenylenediamine to split ofi water. 'The patentee points out that the color iormers disclosed therein are particularly characterized by the fact that the dyestufis obtained therefrom exhibit an especially high absorption in the short wave infrarred, making the color formers eminently suitable for use in the negativepositive process. The patentee also asserts that owing to the high absorption in the long wave red of the quinonimine dyestuffs produced from the color formers, the color formers are also utilizable in the formationof sound records.
While the color formers described in the patent possess the properties attributable thereto by the patentee, they nevertheless suffer from the very serious disadvantage that the dyestufi images which they yield upon color forming development are of relatively coarse grain. For this reason, such color formers have little or no utility in color film of small size, particularly 8 mm. film which for proper reproduction requires fine grained'images, particularly as regards the cyan or key image.
-I have now discovered a class of cyan color formers which comprises a hydroxy aromatic radical, the carbon atom in ortho-position to said hydroxyl group being directly linked to the carbon atom in the 2-position of a benzimidazole nucleus, said benzimidazole nucleus being substituted on the nitrogen atom in the 1-position by'a long aliphatic chain and in therfused-on benzoradical by a water solubilizing group. It has been ascertained that compounds so constituted, when employed as color formers in photographic emulsions, not only possess the properties of the color formers described in the above mentioned patent but also have the additional very desirable characteristics of yield- 2 ing cyan dye images on color development which have excellent spectral properties and an exceedingly fine grain. For this reason, the compounds are particularly adapted for utilization in the red sensitive layer of small film such as 8 mm.
film Which requires exceedingly fine grained imagesin the cyan or key image layer. Furthermore, because of the presence in the compounds of the long aliphatic chain and the solubilizing substituent, the compounds are readily dispersed in photographic emulsions and are non-migratory once they have been incorporated therein. Said color formers, their use in photographic emulsions, and the processing of such emulsions to cyan dye images, constitute the purposes and objects of the present invention.
The color formers contemplated herein are depicted by the following structural formula:v
i 2 R1 QIN/ wherein R1 is a-hydroxy aromatic radical, the hydroxy group being directlylinked to a nuclear carbon atom, such as hydroxy naphthyl, hydroxy phenyl and the like, and such radicals substituted by halogen, i. e., chlorine, bromine and the like, sulfo, carboxy, lower alkyl, 1. e., alkyl containing up to five carbon atoms, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl and amyl, and lower alkoxy, the alkyl radical of which is as above, R2 is a long aliphatic chain containing at least ten carbon atoms, such as decyl, lauryl, oleyl, octadecyl and the like, and R3 is a water solu-v bilizing group, such as sulfo, carboxy, hydroxy, hydroxy polyethenoxy ether radical, and the like.
The new class of color formers is obtained by two reactions, the first involving the condensation of 1-hydroXy-2-aroyl chloride with an ortho-phenylenediamine of the following formula:
wherein R2 and R3 have the values given above with the elimination of hydrogen chloride, and the second involving the ring closure of the con-' densation product-with elimination of water. The condensation'reaction is generally effected by heating the components in an inert diluent, such as benzene, toluene or the like to a temperature ranging from about 75 to 150 C. in the presence of an acid binding agent, such as pyridine, a-picoline, quinoline, and the like. The ring closure reaction is generally efiected by heating the condensation product to a temperature ranging from about 100 to 135 C. in the presence of a water binding agent, such as acetic anhydride, glacial acetic acid and the like. The product resulting from ring closure after isolation from the reaction mixture may be purified by dissolving it in a hot mixture of benzene and alcohol and recrystallizing the product from such solution.
