- p-phenylenediamine salts are the di-p-toluenesulfonic acid salts of 3-alkyl and 3-alkoxy N- alkyl-N-alkoxyalkyl-p-phenylenediamine developing agents.
- Color development of the differently sensitized emulsion layers in color photographic elements containing nondiffusible couplers is advantageously performed in a single color development step to produce a color negative image reproduction when this development step is the first development step, or to produce a color reversal image if a negative black-and-white development step is used followed by a step in which the residual unexposed and undeveloped silver halide is made developable and then color developed.
- diffusible couplers are used in the aqueous alkaline color developer solutions that are used to selectively color develop one silver halide emulsion layer at a time.
- the silver and any residual silver halide are removed by silver bleaching and then fixing the photographic element.
- R, and R are alkyl groups having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms i.e. methyl,-ethyl, propyl, butyl etc., hydroxy alkyl groups having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms i.e. hydroxy methyl, hydroxy ethyl, etc., or alkoxy alkyl groups having from 2 to 8 carbon atoms i.e. methoxy methyl, methoxy ethyl, ethoxy methyl, ethoxy ethyl etc. and R is an alkyl or alkoxy group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms have been found to have unusually and unexpectedly high solubility in aqueous alkaline solutron.
- R is an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, e.g. methyl, ethyl, propyl,
- butyl, etc. and R is an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, e.g. methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl etc., or an alkoxy group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, e.g. methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, butoxy.
- Typical representative examples" of the preferred color developing agents of Formula I are the following:
- .are prepared by reacting the appropriate w-alkoxyalkyl chloride or bromide with the appropriate N-ethyl- '3-alkyl-aniline or N-ethyl-3-alkoxyaniline.
- the tertiary anilines formed by this reaction are then either nitrosated or azo-coupled followed by catalytic hydrogenation to give the corresponding p-phenylenediamine.
- the p-toluenesulfonic acid salts of these materials are generally prepared by forming the 4-(2,5- Dichlorophenylazo) derivative of the pphenylenediamine derivative of Formula 1, reducing the azo dye and adding p-toluenesulfonic acid.
- the di-p-toluenesulfonic acid salt of Preferred Color Developing Agent 3 is advantageously prepared by the following sequence of reactions:
- N-(B-Ethoxyethyl )-N-ethyl-3-methylaniline Amixture of 135 g (1 mole) of N-ethyl-3-aniline, 153 g (1 mole) of 2-bromoethyl ethyl ether (purified by treatment with sodium bicarbonate and distillation), 88.2 g (1.05 mole) of sodium bicarbonate, 1,100 ml of ethanol and 290 ml of water are refluxed for a total'of 64 hours.
- the ethanol is removed by distillation and the oil layer is extracted with ether; the ether extracts are dried and concentrated, followed by distillation of the residual oil under reduced pressure. After removal of the lower boiling foreruns, the fraction, b .p. 9295C/ 1mm (overheats readily) is collected. The yield of I is approximately percent.
- the mixture is cooled to about 25C and allowed to stand undisturbed overnight.
- the developer salt is filtered off and washed in a funnel with small portions of isopropyl alcohol.
- the yield of Developing Agent 3, mp. 214 216C, is approximately 70 percent.
- the di-p-toluenes'ulfonic acid salt of Color Developing Agent 5 is advantageously prepared similarly to developing agent (3), using N-ethyl-3-methoxyaniline and 2-bromoethyl methyl ether as starting materials.
- N-Ethyl-3-methoxy-N-(B-methoxyethyD-aniline A mixture of 100 g (0.661 mole) of N-ethyl-3- methoxyaniline, 92 g (0.661 mole) of 2-bromoethyl methyl ether, 55.8 g (0.6665 mole) of sodium bicarbonate, 1,000 ml of ethanol and 280 m1 of water is refluxed for a total of 68 hours.
- the di-p-toluenesulfonic acid salt of 4-amino-N- ethyl-3-methoxy-N-(B-methoxyethyl )aniline (Developing Agent 5) Exactly 4.86 g (0.127 mole) of the azo dye, IV, is reduced on Parr shaker, using 300 ml of absolute alcohol and Raney nickel as catalyst. When complete, the catalyst is filtered off, washed on funnel with more alcohol. Av total of 4.84 g (0.0254 mole) of p-toluenesulfonic acid (hydrate) in 50 m1 of ethanol is added; no precipitate occurs and the solution is concentrated to dryness under partial vacuum.
- the gummy residue is then dissolved in a small quantity of absolute alcohol and a large excess of ethyl ether is added; the developer salt again comes out as a gum; the solution is cooled thoroughly (refrigerator) to precipitate the suspension and then the ether-alcohol layer is decanted. This treatment is repeated twice more to remove all of the regenerated 2,5-dichloroaniline. Finally, the developer salt is slurried thoroughly with ether only, gradually becoming crystalline; it is dried in a vacuum oven. The yield of Developing Agent 5, mp. 160 162C, is 62 percent.
- the di-p-toluenesulfonic acid salt of Color Developing Agent 1 is made in a manner similar to the synthesis described for the corresponding acid salt of Color Developing Agent 5, excepting that an equimolar amount of N-ethyl-3-methylaniline is used in place of N-ethyl- 3-methoxyaniline.
- the di-p-toluenesulfonic acid salt of Color Developing Agent 2 is made in a manner similar to the synthesis described for the corresponding acid salt of Color Developing Agent 5, excepting that an equimolar amount of arbromobutyl methyl ether is used in place of 2- bromoethyl methyl ether.
- the di-p-toluenesulfonic acid salt of Color Develop ing Agent 4 is advantageously made in a manner similar to that described for the corresponding acid salt of Color Developing Agent 3, excepting that an equimolar amount of N-ethyl-3-propylaniline is used in place of N-ethyl-3-methylaniline.
- Still other color developing agents of Formula I are made using the synthesis illustrated herein using the appropriate starting materials and intermediates.
- EXAMPLE 1 The procedure described in Example 1 was repeated with solutions of dilferent pH values. The results are tabulated in Table 2.
- EXAMPLE 3 The procedure described in Example 1 was repeated by adding the developer salt to sodium carbonate solutions of 25, or 320 g/l, respectively, to simulate actual color developer solutions. The results are tabulated in Table 3.
- EXAMPLE 4 The procedure described in Example 1 was repeated by adding the developer salt to solutions with 50, 100 or 150 g/l NaPTS. The results are summarized in Table 4.
- EXAMPLE 5 The procedure described in Example 1 was repeated by adding the developer salt to a solution with g/l NaPT S. The results are given in Table 5.
- Example 6 will serve to further distinguish the method and compositions of the present in- TABLE 5 vention from those of the prior art.
- these organic acid salts of pphenylenediamine developing agents will be used in aqueous alkaline solution at a pH above about 8 and preferably above about 9.5.
- concentration of the salt present in the solution will be dependent upon the concentration of developing agent which is required. Generally, this concentration will range from about 0.5 to about g/] in working developer compositions depending upon the particular system to which the developer is to be applied.
- concentration of PT S salt is limited only by its own solubility and the stability of such a solution under a given set of conditions of storage and shipping.
- the concentration of the PTS salt is limited by the use to which the solution is to be put and hence the amount of developer which it is sought to have present therein.
- the specific color developing agents described in Formula ll hereinabove are concerned, the problem of color developer solubility no longer exists since the limits of the solubility of the FT S salts of these materials are generally at or well above the practical concentration limits for those materials in working solutions.
- PT S p-phenylenediamines with p-toluenesulfonic acid
- droxy lower alkyl, or alkoxy lower alkyl and R is lower alkyl or lower alkoxy have unexpectedly high solubility in aqueous alkaline solutions of the type utilized for the color development of color photographic elements and that hence they possess all of the above-described advantages incident to such unusually high solubility.
- Solutions of these materials can of course include all of the addenda incident to developer compositions of the type described including but not limited to color developer stabilizing agents, alkali metal chloride, alkali metal bromide, sulfite ion and the alkali metal salts of weak acids.
- Solutions of the PT S salts of the color developers described by Formulas I and II are formed simply by dissolving the same in an aqueous alkaline solution.
- the working developer solutions can comprise up to about 200 g/l of color developing agent although much lower concentration levels on the order of from about 0.5 to about 15 g/l will provide satisfactory results in conventional processes as mentioned above. Concentrations above this level are useful when it is sought to speed up the development rate and/or to increase the throughput capability of the developer bath.
- concentrated aqueous alkaline solutions of the PT S salts of the developing agent i.e. those solutions having concentrations above about 200 g/l will generally be prepared for shipping and storage.
- concentrates may contain as much of the salt as tolerable in the particular system so that precipitation or phase separation does not occur.
- these concentrates When received by the consumer-processor these concentrates will be diluted with water to provide working solutions with color developer agent concentration of up to, for example, perhaps 200 g/l.
- the concentrate will generally contain a sufficient amount of alkali i.e. sodium, potassium or ammonium hydroxide or sodium 0r potassium carbonate to provide when dissolved in water to yield the desired developing agent concentration, a solution of the developing agent which has a pH above about 8 and preferably above about 9.5.
- the active developing agent of working developer solutions prepared from such concentrates are pphenylenediamine developing agents they will include small amounts of sulfite ion which stabilize the developing agent against aerial oxidation during storage as a concentrate and while in use as a working developer solution.
- benzyl alcohol (0-15 ml/l) alkali metal chlorides (0-15 g/l), alkali metal bromides (0.1-1.0 g/l), alkali metal or ammonium sulfite (0.1-5.0 g/l) and alkali metal or ammonium salts of weak acids (10.0-50.0 g/l) which are conventionally present in pphenylenediamine developer solutions of this type in the concentration ranges shown in parentheses
- a stabilizer composition which insures that the developer does not separate into phases at levels of from about 0.1 to about 5.0 g/l.
- Two such stabilizers are hydroxylamine sulfate and dihydroxyacetone. 7
- the color development of a multilayer silver halide color emulsion layer is accomplished by contacting the silver halide with an aqueous alkaline solution of a p-phenylenediamine developing agent in the presence of a coupler that reacts with oxidized developing agent to form a dye.
- the improvement in such a process comprises using the p-toluenesulfonic acid salt of the pphenylenediamine developing agent as the developing agent to provide higher concentrations of developing agent than would normally otherwise be possible.
