- the compounds according to the general formula A are valuable intennediates for the production of other heterocyclic compounds available in the different fields of chemistry such as pharmaceutical or photographic chemistry.
- Especially the compounds of the general formula B are very important for photographic aims as optical sensitizers for silver halide emulsions.

- Compound of this last-mentioned type comprising those shown by the formulae 45-49 are excellent sensitizers to red or infrared light. These compounds, in the preparation of which is used isophrone may also be called isophorone dyes.”
- the preparation of photographic silver halide emulsions substantially comprises three stages:
- the sensitizing dyes according to the invention can be used in any silver halide emulsions.
- Suitable silver halides are silver chloride, silver bromide or mixtures thereof, if desired with a small content of silver iodide of up to 10 mols percent.
- the silver halides may be dispersed in the usual hydrophilic compounds, for example in carboxymethylcellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, ployvinylpyrrolidone, alginic acid and its salts, esters or amides or preferably in gelatine.
- the sensitizing dyes for use according to the invention are preferably added to the photographic emulsion after the chemical ripening and before casting.
- the methods used for this are generally known in the art.
- the sensitizing dyes are usually incorporated into the emulsion in the form of solutions.
- the solvents must, of course, be compatible with gelatine and must not have any adverse effect on the photographic properties of the emulsion.
- the quantity of sensitizing dye may vary within wide limits, e.g. between 2 and 200 mg., preferably between 10 and 60 mg. per kg. of silver halide emulsion.
- the concentration of dye can be varied to meet the particular requirements, depending on the nature of the emulsion and the desired sensitizing effect etc. The most suitable concentration for any given emulsion can be easily determined by the usual tests employed in photography.
- the emulsions may also contain chemical sensitizers, e.g., reducing agents such as stannous salts, polyamines such as diethylene triamine or sulfur compounds such as those described in U.S. Pat. No. 1,574,944.
- the emulsions ma also contain salts of noble metals such as salts of ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, iridium, platinum or gold for chemical sensitization, as is described in the article by R. Koslowsky, Z. Wiss. Phot., 46 65-72 l
- the emulsions may also contain polyalkylene oxides, especially polyethylene oxide and derivatives thereof, as chemical sensitizers.
- the emulsions penta-azaindenes, to the invention may contain the usual stabilizers, e.g. homopolar or salt-type compounds of mercury with aromatic or heterocyclic rings such as mercapto triazoles, simple mercury salts, sulfonium mercury double salts and other mercury compounds.
- stabilizers e.g. homopolar or salt-type compounds of mercury with aromatic or heterocyclic rings such as mercapto triazoles, simple mercury salts, sulfonium mercury double salts and other mercury compounds.
- Azaindenes, especially tetra or penta-azaindenes, in particular those which are substituted with hydroxyl or amino groups are suitable as stabilizers. Such compounds are described in the article by Birr in Z.Wiss.Phot., 47, 2-58 (1952).
- Suitable stabilizers are, inter alia heterocyclic mercapto compounds such as phenyl mercaptotetrazole, quaternary benzothiazole derivatives, benzotriazole and the like.
- the emulsions may be hardened in the usual manner, for example with formaldehyde or halogen-substituted aldehydes which contain a carboxyl group, such as mucobromid acid, diketones, methanesulfonic acids esters, dialdehydes and the like.
- the sensitizcrs used for comparison and the compounds according to the invention absorb in the same region of the spectrum in alcoholic solution.
- the extinction is also substantially the same.
- the influence of monoether or polyether substituents only becomes noticeable in the sensitization of photographic emulsion where it is found that the sensitization maximum in the red region of the spectrum is shifted hypsochromically by substitution with an increasing number of either units and at the same time the green sensitivity is considerably increased. This effect is shown in the sensitization curves of the dyes and the sensitometric measurements of the sensitivities obtained using red and green wedges, as will be clear from the following examples.
- Example 1 A highly sensitive silver bromide gelatine emulsion containing 3 mols percent of silver iodide and the usual additives, such as 0.35 g. of saponin as wetting agent, 3 ml. of an aqueous methanolic solution of N,N', N"-triacrylo-hexahydrotriazine( 13,5) percent) as hardener and 300 mg. of l,3,7-triaza-4hydroxyl-6-methylindolizine as stabilizer is divided into several parts.
- saponin as wetting agent
- 3 ml. of an aqueous methanolic solution of N,N', N"-triacrylo-hexahydrotriazine( 13,5) percent) as hardener
- 300 mg. of l,3,7-triaza-4hydroxyl-6-methylindolizine as stabilizer is divided into several parts.
- sensitizing dyes shown in the following table are added (per kg.) to the individual parts.
- the emulsions are then cast on a layer support in the usual manner and dried.
- the layers obtained in this way are exposed in a conventional sensitometer behind step wedges with a density rise of V5 to red and green light. They are then developed and fixed in the usual manner.
- the relative sensitivities are expressed as the number of measurable steps obtained by exposure to red and green light.
- Example 2 A silver bromide gelatine emulsion containing 2 mols percent of silver iodide and the other additives given in example I is sensitized as described there.
- the basic emulsion has a lower sensitivity than the emulsion used in example 1.
- the spectral sensitization curves of the comparison compound l and of compound 28 and 29 according to the invention are shown in FIGS 2A, 2B and 2C respectively.
- the large increase in the range of the sensitizing effect in the green region of the spectrum is clearly visible.
- Example 3 A highly sensitive silver halide gelatine emulsion containing 3.5 mols percent of silver iodide and the usual additives as described in example 1, is divided into several parts.
- One part of the emulsion is sensitized with a comparison sensitizer of the following formula Se 0,115 -c H;
- a silver bromide gelatine emulsion as used in example 3 is divided into several parts. One part of the above emulsion is sensitized with the comparison sensitizer l and the other with compound 37 of the invention.
