Definitions

• This invention relates to a. process for the production of color photographic images by color development in the presence of a color coupler, to photographic developers, photographic material containing such couplers, and photographic images obtained by such a process.
• a colored image may be formedv by developing a reducible silver salt image in the presence of a compound which during the development couples with the oxidation product of the developing agent and forms a dyestufi which is deposited on the developed silver grains.
• magenta image may also be obtained when a compound is used as a color coupler which does not contain such. an active methylene group.
• a further object of this invention is to provide new photographic developers containing a color coupler.
• Another object of the invention is to provide new photographic material containing a color coupler.
• a reducible silver salt image is developed with a primary aromatic amino developing agent in the presence of a compound corresponding to the following Formula I:
• aromatic nucleus may be isocyclic, heterocyclic
• the polycyclic nucleus completed by Z may contain at least one further -NH-NH-CO- group so as to have a double indazolone compound.
• the compound, as completed by Z may-- also contain two or more nuclei linked by a chemical bound or by a bior poly-valent atom or group, such as Bearing in mind that the new color coupler may be represented by Formula II, it is believed that coupling with the oxidation products of the developing agent occurs at the N-atom in ortho-- position to the OH group. This assumption is These formulae are analogous to the formula LV of Baker for 2-substituted indazolone (J.
• Color couplers according to Formula I may be obtained by causing a molecule of water to split off from aromatic, dihydro-aromatic or heterocyclic monoor poly-(orthohydrazino carboxylic acids) according to the method described by I K. Pfannsteil and J. Janecke in Berichte 751 Sometimes, the preparation of one of said hydrazino acids yields directly the corresponding indazolone because the hydrazino acid although occurring at an intermediate stage cannot be isolated.
• the color coupler according. to my present invention may also be obtained in a manner anal be written in many tautomeric forms, one of which is represented by the following Formula Most of these color coupler are converted into a yellow product when in an oxidizing medium such as a bath for removal of the silver so that a yellow reversal image, which results from the oxidation of th residual color coupler in the bath for removing the silver, is added to the dyestuff image formed on color development. If this is undesirable, the formation of the yellow product may be avoided by treating the color developed emulsion layer, before removing the silver, with a bath containing formaldehyde, a formaldehyde-yielding compound, or another aldehyde. Such an aldehyde is supposed to react with the --NHNHCO group of the coupler, avoiding in this way any subsequent coupling or formation of yellow oxidation products.
• the dyestufis obtained on color development with the color couplers according to the present invention are more stable to acid than those obtained with the known pyrazolones, and those which contain a substituent rendering them fast to diffusion are not removable from the emulsion layer by washing.
• the said new color couplers may further .be
