wherein R represents hydrogen or methyl, R represents hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl, R represents hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl and x/y varies from 95/5 to 20/80.
12 Claims, No Drawings BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a color photographic light-sensitive material. More particularly, it relates to a color photographic light-sensitive material of improved silver bleaching property.
2. Description of the Prior Art One of the difficulties encountered in the processing of -a color photographic material is the phenomenon that silver bleaching is not complete. This is a serious problem, particularly in the case of a color photographic light-sensitive material using an oil-soluble coupler as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,322,027.
When a color photographic light-sensitive material is subjected to exposure and then to color development, a color image and a silver image are formed. The silver image is then removed by a silver bleaching treatment and a fixing treatment, thus obtaining only a dye image. If the step of silver bleaching is incomplete, however, a part of the silver image remains in the material. Such an occluded silver cloud makes the color photographic image obscure and remarkably degrades the color reproduction.
Some methods have been proposed in order to improve the silver bleaching property. It is well known to incorporate some compounds in a color photographic light-sensitive material for the purpose of preventing such silver occlusion. For example, a polymer containing vinylpyrrolidone is described as a silver occlusion inhibitor in British Pat. No. 1,052,487. However, the compound described in this patent has the disadvantage that the development of exposed silver halide grains is markedly suppressed so that a long time is necessary for development, although it has an effect of improving the silver removal.
It is the principal object of the present invention to prevent silver occlusion without suppressing the development in a color photographic light-sensitive material, in particular, containing an oil-soluble coupler.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The above-mentioned object can be accomplished by incorporating in a color photographic light-sensitive material a copolymer of 2-(N-acyl)aminoethyl acrylate or 2-(N- acyl)aminoethyl methacrylate and N-vinylpyrrolidone.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In accordance with the present invention, therefore, there is provided a color photographic light-sensitive material in which in a light-sensitive emulsion layer or in a non-light-sensitive auxiliary layer is incorporated a copolymer represented C l-l C H,, or C I-I and x/y=95/5-20/80. The non-lightsensitive auxiliary layer is a layer adjacent to the light-sensitive emulsion layer, for example, a protective layer, an intermediate layer, a filter layer or antihalation layer.
The effect of the copolymer of N-vinylpyrrolidone and 2- (N-acyl) aminoethyl acrylate or 2-(N-acyl)aminoethyl methacrylate depends on its monomer ratio. The effect of improving the silver removing property increases with an in crease in the amount (y) of N-vinylpyrrolidone, whereas the development suppressing property decreases with the decrease of (y). Accordingly, acopolymer having an x/y ratio of /5 to 20/80, in particular 90/10 to 40/60, is preferably used.
The effect of the copolymer-of the present invention is substantially independent from the degree of polymerization of the copolymer. Therefore, any copolymer capable of being dissolved or dispersed in colloidal state in water or aqueous alkaline solution can be used independently of its degree of polymerization.
The copolymer of the present invention, represented by the formula (I), is obtained by polymerizing, in a solvent, vinylpyrrolidone and a monomer represented by the formula:
1 CH I J R7 70 O CHzCHnNf in which R R and R have the same meaning as in formula (I). A suitable solvent is water or dimethylformamide. Potassium persulfate, hydrogen peroxide or azobisisobutyronitrile may be used as a polymerization initiator. Furthermore, isopropanol may be used so as to control the degree of polymerization.
Synthesis of a monomer represented by formula (II) may be carried out by the reaction of (l) 2-(N-acyl)aminoethyl alcohol with acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, (2) the alcohol with acrylic chloride or methacrylic chloride, (3) the alcohol with ,B-propiolactone or (4) the alcohol with acrylic acid ester or methacrylic acid ester.
Synthetic examples of the copolymer used in the invention are as follows:

After the reaction, the salt was removed and l g of hydroquinone was added followed by distillation. The compound obtained had the following structure which was identified by elementary analysis, NMR, mass spectrometry and infrared spectrum.

After the reaction, the solution was subjected to dialysis in a dialysis membrane for one night and then to freeze drying.
Yield: 35.8 g (96.8%)
The quantity to be added of the copolymer used in the present invention depends on its properties, the variety of layers into which it is added and, the variety and quantity of the coupler and other additives. In the case of adding the copolymer to a light-sensitive emulsion layer, good results can generally be obtained by employing about 5 percent by weight of the copolymer based on the weight of the binder. Ordinarily, 1-5 percent by weight is preferred since the color-forming efficiency and physical properties of the layer decrease when the addition quantity exceeds 20 percent by weight. In the case of adding the copolyer to a non-light-sensitive auxiliary layer, on the other hand, even an addition of 50 percent by weight, based on the weight of the binder of the copolymer, does not lower the color forming efficiency and physical properties of the layer.
The copolymer of the present invention may be added to a dispersion during the dispersing of the coupler or it may be added with other additives during the preparation of a coating solution.
As a binder for the emulsion used in the color photographic light-sensitive material of the present invention, a suitable protective colloid may be used, for example, gelatin, polyvinyl alcohol or its derivative, polyacrylamide or its derivative, cellulose derivative, casein or alginate. Gelatin is most suitable.
The following examples are provided to further illustrate the present invention in detail without limiting the same.
EXAMPLE l ml of a 5 percent aqueous solution of Z-(N-acetyl-N- methyl)aminoethyl acrylate N-vinylpyrrolidone copolymer (monomer ratio: 6 4) was added to 20 ml of a 10 percent aqueous solution of gelatin containing 2 ml of a 10 percent aqueous solution of sodium alkylbenzenesulfonate. Then, 3.0 g of 4-benzoylacetamide-N-butyl-N-octylbenzamide, dissolved by heating in 2.0 ml of dibutyl phthalate, and 3.0 ml of ethyl acetate were added thereto as a yellow coupler and stirred vigorously at 40-50 C. for 15 minutes by means of a homoblender, to thus obtain a coupler dispersion. All of the dispersion was mixed with a photographic emulsion containing 7.0 g of silver bromide and 5.0 g of gelatin and coated onto a film base followed by drying. The resulting light-sensitive material was exposed and subjected to the following treatments at 24 C.
Color development I l min. rinsing 1/4 min. fixing 2 min. water washing 1 min. bleaching 6 minv water washing 2 1/2 min. fixing 2 min. water washing 6 min. The treating solutions had the following composition:
Color development solution sodium hexametaphosphate 2 g. sodium sult'tte (anhydrous) 4 gv Z-methyl-4-N, N-diethylaniline sulfate 3 g. sodium carbonate (monohydrate) 20 g. potassium bromide 2 g. water to make I liter Fixing solution sodium thiosulfate (anhydrous) 153 g. sodium sulfite (anhydrous) l5 g. acetic acid 48 g. boric acid 7.5 g. potassium alum l5 g. water to make 1 liter Bleaching solution potassium bromide 20 g. potassium bichromate 5 g. potassium alum 40 g. pH adjusted to 3.1 with sulfuric acid water to make 1 liter In the resulting film, bleaching of silver was completely carried out with only a yellow color image remaining while in the same film but free from the copolymer, bleaching of silver was incomplete and there was a color image of yellow with a cloud of silver. The optical density of the two films was measured by a red light substantially free from absorption of the yellow image. As is evident from the results as shown in Table l, the film containing no copolymer gives a high optical density due to the absorption of silver.
TABLE 1 Presence of Copolymer Optical Density Yes 0.1 i No 053 Substantially similar results were also obtained in the case of using an aqueous solution containing g of potassium ferricyanide per 1 liter as a bleaching solution.
EXAMPLE 2 The same procedure as in Example l was repeated except that 4.3 g of l-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-3-(3-(N-butyltetradecaneamide)-propaneamide) pyrazoline-S-on was used as a magenta coupler in place of the yellow coupler of Example l and a copolymer of 2-(N-formyl-N-methyl)-aminoethyl methacrylate and N-vinylpyrrolidone (monomer ratio: 6 4) was used as the copolymer. In the copolymer-free film, a color image of magenta was present together with a cloud of silver and was considerably obscure. The optical density of the two films was measured by a red light substantially free from absorption of the color image of magenta. As is evident from the results shown in Table 2, the film containing no copolymer gives a high optical density due to the absorption of silver.
The same procedure as in Example 1 was repeated except that 2.4 g of l-hydroxy-4-chlor -2-N-dodecylnaphthamide was used as a cyan coupler in place of the yellow coupler of Example 1 and a copolymer of 2-(N-formyl-N- methyl)aminoethyl acrylate and N-vinylpyrrolidone(monomer ratio: 6 4) was used as the copolymer. In the copolymer-free film, a color image of cyan was present together with a cloud of silver and was considerably obscure. The optical density of the two films was measured by a blue light substantially free from absorption of the color image of cyan. As is evident from the results shown in Table 3, the film containing no copolymer gives a high optical density due to the absorption of silver.
TABLE 3 Presence of Copolymer Optical density Yes 0.4] No 081 EXAMPLE 4 The same procedure as in Example 1 was repeated except that three kinds of copolymers of 2-(n-acetyl)aminoethyl acrylate and N-vinyl-pyrrolidone, differing in monomer ratio, were used. As is evident from the results shown in Table 4, the film containing the copolymer gives a lower red optical density than the film containing no copolymer.
This example is given for the illustration of the fact that the copolymer of the present invention has a low suppressing action of development. The ratio of optical densities when a film is exposed and developed for 3 minutes and for minutes was compared for the films containing the copolymers of Examples l to 4 and comparison films prepared in a manner similar to that of Example 1 but using copolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone and vinyl acetate (monomer ratio: 7 3), and N- vinylpyrrolidone and sytrene (monomer ratio: 7 3). The larger this value, the less the suppressing action of development. As is evident from the results shown in Table 5, the copolymers of the present invention give less of a suppressing action of development as compared with the known copolymers.

A copolymer-free coupler dispersion prepared by a procedure similar to that of Example 1 was added thereto, coated onto a film base and dried. For comparison, another film was prepared by the same procedure as mentioned above but using no copolymer. The two films were processed as in Example 1 and their red optical density was measured. As is evident from the results shown in Table 6, the film containing the copolymer of the invention gives a lower red optical density.
