This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 676,731, filed Oct. 20, 1967, now abandoned.
This invention relates to a photographic element, and the preparatory process therefor, containing a light-sensitive silver halide emulsion stabilized against the deleterious effects of ultraviolet radiation and, more particular- 1y, to said element stabilized by the incorporation therein of certain naphthotriazoles.
Photographic layers and, in particular, color photographic elements as a result of their sensitization to radiation of longer wave length, are adversely effected by ultraviolet radiation. This deleterious effect also occurs with developed color negatives and prints as a result of the attack on certain chemical species often present in the emulsion layer after development.
Many and varied compounds have been used as ultraviolet absorbers. Criteria for acceptable absorbers include non-diifusibility, freedom from color, inertness, compatibility and, of course, good ultraviolet absorption and stability to ultraviolet. Such compounds have been used either incorporated into the silver halide emulsion layer or in a layer superior but contiguous thereto. Among the methods for accomplishing such incorporation is a solvent-dispersion technique in which the ultraviolet absorber compound is dissolved in an organic plasticizer which is, in turn, intimately blended into an aqueous gelatin solution. This procedure, however, has certain shortcomings, chief among which is a decrease in the light stability of the incorporated absorber compounds.
It is an object of this invention, therefore to provide compounds affording suitable ultraviolet absorption.
It is a further object of this invention to provide such compounds capable of incorporation into the various components or layers of light-sensitive photographic elements without any loss in their absorption capacity.
In accordance with this invention it has been found that certain naphthotriazole compounds and, in particular, certain hydroxy substituted phenyl naphthotriazoles have superior ultraviolet absorption capacity which is not mitigated by incorporation into emulsions.
Therefore, this invention is based at least in part on the discovery that naphthotriazole compounds having the structure as set forth in the general formula:
not only have higher ultraviolet extinction coefiicients than compounds previously used for this purpose but also provide ultraviolet protection equal or superior to the aforesaid compounds.
In the above structure, R, R and R each preferably represents hydrogen or an alkyl of 1 to 20 carbon atoms, at least one of the groups R, R and R containing at least mism of less than 250 A. may also be present. These insaid groups being 3 to 24 and preferably being 4 to 16. Other non-chromophoric substituents with a bathochromism of less than 250A. may also be present. These include halogen, preferably chlorine, carboxy, carbalkoxy, cyan, sulfamyl (sulfonamide), carbanyl (carboxamido), etc. Substituted alkyls may also be used as, for example, hydroalkyl, haloalkyl, cyanalkyl, alkoxyalkyl and lactam methylene. Details as to specific substituents can be found in the co-pending application of Catino and Strobel, Ser. No. 504,206, filed Oct. 23, 1965, now abandoned, and in corresponding French Pat. 1,497,191 issued Aug. 28, 1967.
The general method of preparation of these compounds involved the diazotizing and coupling of an orthoamino phenol to an amino naphthalene or the diazotizing and coupling of an o-nitronaphthylaminc to a substituted phenol in such a manner that the coupling is either ortho to the amino group of the naphtho ring or ortho to the hydroxy group of the phenol. Details as to this preparatory procedure can be found in the aforesaid 'U.S. application of Catino and Strobel and the corresponding French patent.

The compounds are incorporated into the emulsion layer or into a layer contiguous therewith by the solvent dispersion procedure as discussed previously. A representative system uses high-boiling, water-immiscible organic plasticizers. The plasticizer system containing the ultraviolet absorber, and such additives as desired or required, is dispersed in an aqueous gelatin solution with the aid of an emulsifier to produce a finely divided, non-crystalline form of a non-diffusable ultraviolet absorber.
Satisfactory results are obtained when these absorber compounds are used in the concentration range of 20 to 150 milligrams per square foot of applied gelatin layer with the preferred concentration range being 25 to 65 milligrams per square foot where the lower value is preferred for the intimately admixed gelatin-absorber-color former layer and the upper value is preferred for the gelatinabsorber layer superposed on the photographic element to 'be protected. The actual concentration of ultraviolet absorber is dependent, of course, on the specific chemical compound to be protected and the severity of the ultraviolet exposure of said compound. Color formers, asidescribed in US. Pat. 3,092,495, are compounds capable of yielding, upon reaction with the oxidation products of a primary amino development agent, a dye image in a color complementary to the sensitivity of the layer in which it was incorporated.
Several examples are set forth below to illustrate the nature of the invention and the manner of carrying it out. However, the invention should not be considered as being limited to the details thereof.
EXAMPLE-S 1-7 minutes with a high speed mixer. The dispersion was then chilled and noodled.
' The gelatin layers were prepared by adding 15 grams of the above absorber dispersion (containing 1.2 grams of the ultraviolet absorber) to 200 ml. of a 2.5% gelatin solution containing 5 ml. of saponin and applying this solution to aclear film support such that the dry coating thickness was 4 to 5 microns. These clear gelatin layers were processed through the solutions normally employed in color print work.
Sections 1 x /2" were cut from the clear film and superposed on the unexposed color print paper which had been processed in the normal manner. These absorber hours in the Atlas Fade-Ometer and subjected to the ultraviolet radiation as heretofore explained. The yellow discoloration resulting from ultraviolet degradation of unused color former was again determined by reflection density measurements. In addition the loss in yellow dye covered strips were then exposed for ten hours in an Atlas 5 density was determined by similar yellow dye density Fade-Ometer to the radiation of a single enclosed violet measurements with correction made for the yellow stain carbon arc in which 20.3% of the emitted radiation is in developed.

the ultraviolet range. For comparison purposes both a blank sample and samples covered with gelatin layers containing ultraviolet absorbers of the prior art were also prepared and exposed.
After this exposure the samples were placed in a densitometer to determine the degree of yellow stain discoloration by reflection density measurements. This discoloration is a result of degradation, by the incident ultraviolet radiation, of the unused color formers remaining in the paper after processing. Results are tabulated below.
For Example 9, the sample containing the preferred compound of this invention [2-(2'-hydroxy-3',5-ditertiaryamylphenyl)naphthotriazole], there is a twofold decrease in the amount of yellow stain developed on exposure to ultraviolet radiation in comparison with those samples containing the absorber compounds of the prior art (Examples 11 and 12).

Since these EXAMPLES 8- 14 These examples illustrate the suitability of the ultraviolet absorber compounds of this invention when incorporated into one of the color forming layers of a multilayer color photographic element.

The dispersion composition was constituted as listed below.

Each dispersion was, in turn, admixed with red sensitized silver halide emulsions containing the necessary coating finals and this mixture was then coated over the yellow and magenta dye-forming layers on a paper support to form a multilayer color photographic element.
