Definitions
- the color couplers are compounds of the formula or the corresponding cyclised compounds, wherein A is a trivalent monocyclic or dicyclic aryl, with the COOH and CONHB groups ortho or peri to each other, X is hydrogen or lower alkyl, Y is OC, CONH or -COCH when X is hydrogen and Y is O S when X is lower alkyl, B is a residue of a compound BNH which will react with the oxidation products of N,N-diethyl .p'phenylene diamine, formed during the development with a silver salt image with that compound, to yield a quinone imine or azamethine dye image and R is a substituent comprising an alkyl group containing at least 12 carbon atoms.
- This invention relates to color couplers and to their production and use in color photography.
- the color coupler is incorporated in the photographic emulsion layer in which the image is ultimately to be formed, it is important that it should be non-diffusing in such layer, i.e. that it should neither diffuse away during the processing steps nor migrate from its layer to any adjacent layer.
- Many attempts have been made to achieve this characteristic of non-diifusibility, i.e. to make the color coupler substantive to the medium, usually gelatin, of the photographic emulsion.
- the methods which have been employed consist generally in the use of color couplers containing groups of substantial molecular size, e.g. long chain alkyl groups, and also solubiiising groups.
- Such color couplers are often manufactured by a synthesis which involves several stages and the color couplers are usually difiicult to isolate and purify. It is one object of the present invention to provide a new class of color couplers which are non-diffusing in photographic emulsion layers, and which may be manufactured by a simple synthetic process in which a solubilising group and a group conferring nondiffusion are introduced simultaneously and usually in the final stage of the synthesis. Also the solubilising group in the new couplers may be in a protected form Which often facilitates the isolation and purification of the color couplers. The solubilising groups are readily freed when the compounds are dissolved in alkali prior to the addition to the photographic emulsion, or, if the color couplers are applied as a dispersion, in the alkaline developing bath.
- A is a trivalent radical selected from B is a color coupling residue
- X is H or lower alkyl
- Y is OC, CONH or -COCH when X is H
- Y is O S when X is lower alkyl
- R is an alkyl group of 12 or more carbon atoms or a group containing same.
- color coupler residue used to define the symbol B is meant a grouping such that the compound B-H (and therefore also the compound B.NH is a compound which will react with the oxidation products of N,N-diethyl-p-phenylene diamine, formed during the development of a silver salt image with that compound, to yield a quinone-imine or azamethine dyestuif.
- color couplers of the general Formula I are obtained by condensing a compound of Formula III:
- compounds of Formula II are obtained from compounds of Formula I by heating compounds of Formula I in a solvent at a temperature greater than 100 C. and preferably in glacial acetic acid at the boil.
- compounds of Formula I are obtained from compounds of Formula II by treating with alkali, in a solvent such as a lower alcohol, for example n-propanol, followed by acidification.
- a solvent such as a lower alcohol, for example n-propanol
- compounds B-NH which may be used in the process of the invention are for example:
- Phenols and l-naphthols which contain an amino group, for example 4-chloro-5-methyl-2-aminophenol or the aminophenols described in British patent specifications Nos. 797,141; 754,306; l-amino-S-naphthol, N(B- aminoethyl)-l-hydroxy-2-naphthamide or similar N-substituted naphthamides containing an amino group, as described in British patent specification No. 902,266 which may also be substituted in the 4-position, as described in British patent specification No. 757,368 and which give cyan dyestuffs on color development with substituted p-phenylene diamines.
- an amino group for example 4-chloro-5-methyl-2-aminophenol or the aminophenols described in British patent specifications Nos. 797,141; 754,306; l-amino-S-naphthol, N(B- aminoethyl)-l-hydroxy-2
- photographic light sensitive colloid silver halide emulsions which comprise a color coupler of general Formula I or II.
- a photographic material for use in color photography which comprises a support carrying a plurality of photographic light sensitive colloid silver halide emulsion layers, selectively sensitive to different regions of the spectrum and comprising in a said emulsion layer or in a layer adjacent thereto, a color coupler of the general Formula I or II.
- the colloid will generally be gelatin or may be another colloid medium, e.g. polyvinyl alcohol.
- the multilayer color photographic material may be a natural order material in which the images are to be formed in colors complementary to those of the original object or one in which an unnatural order is used, for example one in which in the top layer there is formed a yellow image of the blue parts of the object, in one of the two lower layers there is formed a cyan image of the green parts of the object and in the other a magenta image of the red parts of the object.
- the new color couplers may be incorporated in the photographic emulsion layers by taken them up in dilute alkali, e.g. dilute sodium hydroxide and adding the resulting solution to the emulsion. If the color couplers are of Formula II the alkali has the effect of opening the ring structure:
