Definitions

  • the invention relates, to a process for the production of photographic images, the development of the exposed photographic material being carried out in the presence of polycondensation products of phosphoric acid amide derivatives with aliphatic polyethers.
  • Phototechnical films of the co called lithoor line-type are increasingly being used in the reprography, in particular photo production of screened photographic prints.
  • Lithoor line films. are such films which can be developed in developer c0mpositions containing formaldehyde bisulfite compounds to very high 'y-values and thus to sharp screened dots.
  • the term 'y is to be understood the tangent of the angle between the straight-line portion of the characteristic curve (or H and D curve) of the leg E axis.
  • a further object is to provide compounds which simultaneously effect the development in such a manner that the period of time during which that high *y-value is obtained can be extended so that the development is more convenient and simpler.
  • R represents an alkyl group preferably with up to 5 carbon atoms or an aryl, preferably phenyl or alkyl phenyl, or aralkyl, such as benzyl group
  • R can have the same meaning as R or can represent a hydrogen atom
  • X represents halogen atoms such as bromine or preferably chlorine, or alkoxy groups, preferably short-chain groups having up to 5 carbon atoms such as methoxy and ethoxy
  • R and R can be together the methylene groups to form a heterocyclic rin in particular a piperidine or pyrrolidine ring.
  • polyethers are polyethylenglycols which contain at least 3, preferably 410 CH CH .O- units.
  • polyether are advantageously reacted with, 1 mol Qf theamido phosphoric acid compound.
  • lithe development or litho developer we intend a development process which yields images with very steep gradation of at least 3 by the use of a developer which contains a formaldehyde-bisulfite compound.
  • Suitable for the process according to the invention are all silver halide emulsions which show a sufiiciently high gradation effect with developers which contain formaldehyde.
  • the silver salts in such least 50 mol percent of according sions, the
  • ernnl-t silver halide of which contains at least 65 mol percent of silver chloride and 35 mol percent or less silver in the emulsion. It is advantageous to use from 10 to 100' mg. per mol of silver halide.
  • the compounds are added to the developer solutions or to the emulsions, advantageously in quantities of 30 to 300 mg./ liter of the emulsion-casting solution.
  • the final dried silver halide emulsion layer with such addition accordingly contains between 0.5 and 10 mgrof the compound per squarc meter.
  • the ry-value in the development is shifted from about 6 to 8 to 15; Moreover, the period of development time during which the steepest gradation or screen dot sharpness is produced is raised from about 1 minute to 3 to 4 minutes.
  • An additional advantage is that a developer containing formaldehyde is much less dependent'upon temperature when it has such an additive. Whereas a developer *without this additive reacts with a considerable development acceleration and thus a pronounced shortening of the development time when the temperature is raised by 1 to 2, good results are obtained with a developer temperature between 15 and 40 when phosphoric acid amide esters are added. Because of the longer processing period, the advantages described above lead to much more reliable Working.
  • the compounds according to the invention can be'added to the developer composition in an amount of 0.01 to 10 grams per liter of the aqueous composition.
  • the phosphoric acid amide esters according to the invention are prepared by conventional esterification methods; the degree of condensation of the ester can be influenced as required by variations in the reaction time and in the reaction temperature. The higher the temperature, the higher is the. degree of condensation of the phosphoric acid amide esters, in particular the integer'Z" of the polyether ester formula can be influenced by varying the temperature. Thus, compounds were obtained in which Z had a value of about 100, 300, 800 or 1000. The degree' of condensation can further. be influenced, in particular the integer ,Z referred to hereinbefore, by varying the proportion of the starting compounds for theconden'sation.
  • COMPOUND II 41.2 g. of nonaethylene glycol, 31.2 g. of pyridine and 19g. of N,N-diethyl phosphoric acid amidedichloride are reacted and worked up in the manner described above.
  • COMPOUND IV 41.4 g. of nonaethylene glycol, 31.2 'g. of pyridine and 22.4 g. of N-methyl-N-phenyl phosphoric acid amidedichloride are reacted in a manner analogous to Compound 'I. There are formed 50 g. of'a brown-coloured semi-solid substance, which is diluted with water and decolourised with activated carbon.
  • ethylene glycol in the presence of'reesterification catalysts, such as sodium or sodium'alcoholate, for several hours at 100 to 120 C.
  • the ethyl alcohol that is liberated is constantly distilled 01? in vacuo and the residue can be used I for the purpose of the present invention.
  • Example 1 A'gelatino-silver halide emulsion with 15 mol percent of AgBr and of AgCl is washed, ripened to the maximum sensitivity and, after adding 4-hydroxy-6-methyl- 1,3,3a,7-tetrazaindol or other stabilisers and a Wetting agent, cast onto a suitable film support; 7
  • film strips are prepared with the use of the same emulsions, 80 mg. of octaethylene glycol or 80 mg. of the Made up with water to 1 litre.
  • Example 2 Film strips of the emulsion described in'Example 1 are exposed behind a grey stepped wedge and are developed in the developer referred to above for periods from 1 to 6 minutes (Experiment A). The same film specimens, after addition of mg. of the Compound I (Experiment B) and 100 mg. of the phosphorous acid glycol ester according to Example 1 of Belgian Patent 609,497 (Experiment C), are developed in the same developer. 1
  • Example 3 An emulsion as in Example 1 is given the usual additives (wetting agents, stabilisers and hardeners) and is divided into three portions and cast as follows onto a film support:
  • reaction products has the following formula:
  • R1 R2 Z wherein R and R have the meaning defined in claim 1, m can be 0 and an integer from 3 to 10; n is an integer from 3 to 10 and Z is an integer from 1 to 1000.
  • reaction product has the following formula 1
  • An aqueous composition containing a silver halide photographic developer and from 0.01 to 10 grams per liter of a compound of the following formula:
  • m can be 0 and an integer from 3 to 10; n is an integer from 3 to 10 and Z is an integer from 1 to 1000.
