(Cl. 9629) This invention relates to photography and more particularly to novel chemical compounds useful in the development of photosensitive silver halide elements.
It is one object of the present invention to provide novel chemical compounds which may be employed in the development of silver halide emulsions.
Another object of the present invention is to provide novel developer compositions and processes employing such novel developer compositions for the development of silver halide emulsions.
A further object of this invention is to provide novel developer compositions useful in diffusion transfer processes.
The invention accordingly comprises the several steps and the relation and order of one or more of such steps with respect to each of the others, and the compositions possessing the features, properties and the relation of elements which are exemplified in the following detailed disclosure, and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the claims.
Other objects of this invention will in part be obvious and will in part appear hereinafter.
The present invention relates to novel N-substituted hydroxylamines containing from one to two intralinear sulfone (-SO groups as part of an alkyl group or groups substituted on the nitrogen atom, and may be represented by the formula:
wherein at least one of R and R is an alkyl group containing an intralinear SO group, and the other of R and R is selected from the group consisting of alkyl groups and alkyl groups containing an intralinear SO group, and R and R when taken together may comprise the atoms necessary to complete a heterocyclic radical containing said -80 group and said N,N-bis-(2-ethylsulfonylethyl)-hydroxylamine 3 (CH;NGHOH;)2SO2 6H Bis-2-(methylhydroxylamino)-ethylsulfone H0N so:
N-hydroxythi-omorpholinedioxide [4hydroxytetrahydro-1,4-thiazine-1, l -dioxide] The use of hydroxylamines in developing silver halide emulsions is disclosed, e.g.,. by Land et al., U.S. Patents Nos. 2,857,274, 2,857,275, and 2,857,276. A particularly useful hydroxylamine ha been N,N-diethyl-hydroxylamine. The novel chemical compounds of the present invention exhibit many properties making them more desirable as silver halide developing agents than hydroxylamines previously used, as will be noted hereinafter.
The novel sulfone-containing hydroxylamines of this invention generally may be prepared by an additional reaction between a hydroxylamine, e.g., hydroxylamine or N-methyl-hydroxylamine and the activated double bond of the corresponding vinyl sulfone compound. In general, the reaction is exothermic, and use of cooling means, e.g., addition of ice, may be desirable to hold the temperature below the critical point. Isolation of the product preferably is accomplished by recrystallization from a suitable solvent, though in some cases extraction or other purification procedures may be used.
The following detailed examples are given only to illustrate the preparation of preferred compounds within the scope of this invention, and are not intended to be in any way limiting.
Example 1 CH3 1TI CH2CH2SO20H2CH3 N-methyl-N-Z-ethylsulfonylethyl-hydroxylamine A flask was charged with 16.7 g. (0.2 mole) of N- methyl-hydroxylamine hydrochloride in ml. of water, to which 10.6 g. (0.1 mole) of sodium carbonate and 18 g. (0.15 mole) of ethylvinylsulfone were added dropwise Calculated for C H NO S: Percent C, 35.91; Percent H, 7.38; Percent N, 8.37. Found: Percent C, 36.50; Percent H, 8.31; Percent N, 8.30.
The ethylvinylsulfone used in this example was synthesized as follows: 2 g. of phosphoric acid and 200 g. of 35% hydrogen peroxide were added to 106 g. of ethyl-2- hydroxyethylsulfide dropwise with stirring over a period of 1 hour. The exothermic reaction was controlled at '60 to 70 C. Then the reaction mixture was refluxed for two hours. Evaporation of the water in vacuo gave 136 g. of ethyl-2-hydroxyethylsulfone. 202 g. of thionylchloride were added to a stirred mixture of 117 g. of the thus prepared ethyl-2-hydroxyethylsulfone and '67 g. of dry pyridine, dropwise with stirring at 25 to 30 C. The
stirring was continued for 30 minutes at room temperature,
after which the reaction mixture was heated at 90-95 C. for 30 minutes. After cooling, the reaction mixture was poured onto ice, extracted with chloroform and rectified in vacuum to yield 75.5 g. of 2-chloroethylethylsulfone,

As previously mentioned, the novel silver halide developing agents of this invention are useful in conventional or wet development of silver halide emulsions, diffusion transfer processes, both dye and silver, and are especially useful in such photographic processes wherein it is desired to eliminate or minimize the need for washing or stabilizing operations in liquid baths subsequent to the formation of the silver print; Examples of such herein, the term silver halide solvent refers to reagents which will form a soluble complex with silverhalide, as is well known in the art of forming silver images by transfer.
