Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for producing color photographic images by the dye diffusion transfer process and to a photographic material suitable therefor which contains new diffusion-resistant, oxidizable coloring compounds which release diffusing dyes in a non-oxidized form.
  • the color-providing compounds suitable for this purpose include, for example, the non-diffusing color couplers described in DE-PS 1 095 115, which are used in the Development as a result of a reaction with the oxidation product of a color developer compound consisting of a primary aromatic amine releases a pre-formed or diffused form of dye produced in the color coupling.
  • the selection of the developer compound required is naturally limited to color developers.
  • non-diffusing coloring compounds described in DE-OS 1 930 215, which contain a preformed latent diffusible dye residue linked to a diffusion-proofing residue via a cleavable hydrazone group.
  • These compounds are not to be called color couplers, and it has also been found that the choice of developer compounds which are required to release the diffusing dye residue is in no way limited to the usual color developers, but that black and white developers, e.g. Catechins are very useful.
  • DE-OS 1 772 929 also describes non-diffusing colored compounds with a special grouping which undergo an oxidative ring closure reaction during development and thereby release a pre-formed dye residue in diffusing form.
  • the connections presented there can be divided into two groups.
  • the compounds of the one group require a customary color developer compound for development, with whose oxidation product they couple and in a subsequent ring closure reaction release the pre-formed dye residue in diffusing form.
  • the compounds of the other group are themselves slip halide developing agents and are therefore able, in the absence of further developer compounds in the oxidustan form, to undergo the above-mentioned ring closure reaction with fralse tion of the diffusing dyes.
  • non-diffusing coloring compounds of DE-OS 2 242 762 should also be mentioned at this point.
  • These are sulfonamidophenols and sulfonamidoanilines, which after development have undergone oxidation under the influence of the developer alkali with the release of diffusing dyes with a free sulfamoyl group will.
  • the above-mentioned coloring compounds work invariably negative, i.e. the image-wise distribution of the diffusing dye set arises when conventional (negative working) silver halide emulsions are used in accordance with the negative silver image produced during development.
  • conventional (negative working) silver halide emulsions are used in accordance with the negative silver image produced during development.
  • To produce positive finished fabric images it is therefore necessary to use direct-positive silver halide emulsions or otherwise to use a suitable reversal process.
  • Non-diffusing coloring compounds are also known from German Offenlegungsschriften 2 402 900 and 2 543 902, which, in non-oxidized form, are capable of a cleavage reaction under alkaline development conditions, a diffusing color step being set free, and in which, on the other hand, in the oxidized form the one mentioned above Cleavage reaction is difficult or prevented.
  • Such compounds are suitable in combination with conventional negative emulsions for producing positive transfer color images
  • positions 2 and 4 of the above formula contain neither a hydrogen atom nor a substituent which can be exchanged for OH ions.
  • the present invention furthermore relates to a material for carrying out the above method, which accordingly, in association with at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, contains a non-diffusing oxidizable compound of the type described above.
  • the residues of dyes of all classes of dyes are suitable as dye residues insofar as they are sufficiently diffusible to be able to diffuse through the layers of the light-sensitive material into the image-receiving layer.
  • the dye residues can be provided with one or more water-solubilizing groups. Suitable water-solubilizing groups include carboxyl groups, sulfo groups, sulfonamide groups and aliphatic or aromatic hydroxyl groups. The sulfinic acid group remaining in the dye after the cleavage can already give the dye molecule a considerable tendency to diffuse in the alkaline Medium, so that the presence of additional water-solubilizing groups is not absolutely necessary.
  • the residues of dye precursors are to be understood as the residues of those compounds which, in the course of photographic processing, are subject to conventional or additional processing steps, be it by oxidation, by coupling or by exposure of an auxochromic group in a chromophoric system, for example by saponification Dyes are transferred.
  • Dye precursors in this sense can be leuco dyes, couplers or dyes that are converted into other dyes during processing. Unless a distinction between dye residues and the residues of dye precursors is of essential importance, the latter are also to be understood below as dye residues.
  • the bivalent link X shown in the general formula can, for example, be a radical of one of the following formulas: Y 1 and Y 2 are preferably hydroxyl. If Y 1 and / or Y 2 is an -NH-S02R8 group, R 8 has the meaning of a photographically inert radical, for example an unsubstituted alkyl or phenyl radical.
  • the redox potential of the oxidizable compound can easily be influenced by varying the substituent R 3 and can thus be adapted to practical requirements.
  • the selection of the substituents R 4 and R 5 is subject to certain restrictions, insofar as hydrogen or other substituents which can be exchanged for OH - ions are out of the question.
  • this does not apply to R 3 to the same extent, so that a larger selection of substituents is available here for setting the desired redox potential.
  • another important function of the compounds according to the invention is the easy hydrolyzability in the unoxidized form.
  • the hydrolytic cleavage should proceed as quickly as possible in the alkaline developer medium so that the photographically active group is quickly released. On the other hand, the onset of hydrolytic cleavage should be delayed until the imagewise oxidation of the oxidizable compounds by developer oxidation products has essentially been completed.
  • the coloring compounds according to the invention should not diffuse as intact molecules in the layers of the photographic material.
  • they contain a radical which makes them resistant to diffusion, for example in one of the substituents R to R or in a substituent present on the fused ring completed by R together with R 4.
  • Adequate diffusion resistance of the coloring compounds can already exist even if the substituents mentioned do not contain any longer alkyl residues, since the molecule can then also have a sufficient size, depending on the dye residue. Otherwise it is possible to make the coloring compounds sufficiently diffusion-resistant by selecting residues of a suitable size.
  • Residues which make it resistant to diffusion are those which make it possible to store the compounds according to the invention in a diffusion-resistant manner in the hydrophilic colloids which are usually used in photographic materials.
  • Organic radicals which generally contain straight-chain or branched aliphatic groups and optionally also isocyclic or heterocyclic or aromatic groups with generally 8-22 C atoms are preferably suitable for this purpose.
  • residues are connected to the rest of the molecule either directly or indirectly, for example via one of the following groups: -NHCO-, NHSO 2 , -NR-, where R is hydrogen or alkyl, -O-, -S- or -SO 2 , such groups containing such hetero atoms expediently by at least two carbon atoms or methylene groups of the aromatic ring of the general formula ( R 3 , R 4 , R 5 ) or from the carbon atom (R 1 ) bearing the cleavable group -SO 2 - (X) m -A).
  • the diffusion-proofing radical can also contain water-solubilizing groups, such as sulfo groups or carboxyl groups, which can also be in anionic form. Since the diffusion properties depend on the molecular size of the total compound used, it is sufficient in certain cases, for example if the total molecule used is large enough, to use shorter-chain residues as "diffusion-proofing residues".
  • non-diffusing oxidizable compounds suitable according to the invention are listed below:
  • Step 2 4-hydroxy-2,3-dimethyl-6-tetradecanoylphenyl allyl ether
  • Step 6 dye sulfinic acid 4- (4-hydroxy-3-N, N-diethylsulfamoyl-8-methylsulfonamido-1-naphthylazo) -benzenesulfinic acid
  • a solution was added to a solution of 4 g of the carbinol compound from stage 5 in 300 ml of glacial acetic acid heated to 60 ° C. of 7 g of dye sulfinic acid from stage 6 1.5 g of Na acetate anhydrous 120 ml of glacial acetic acid and 40 ml of water.
  • the mixture was heated to 90 ° C. for 2 hours while stirring in a nitrogen atmosphere. After a short time, the dye compound begins to fail. After cooling to 60 ° C, the resulting precipitate was filtered off and washed with glacial acetic acid.
  • the dye was purified by stirring with methanol.

  • Step 6 dye sulfinic acid 4- ⁇ 3- [8- (4-nitro-2-methylsulfonylphenylazo) -5-hydroxy-1-naphthyl] sulfamoylbenzene ⁇ sulfionamido benzene sulfinic acid
  • the main aspect of the present invention relates to the case where the oxidizable compound is a coloring compound and the photographically active group is a diffusing dye.
  • the following mainly refers to coloring compounds, but this should not be understood as a limitation.
  • the oxidizable compounds can be used for a wide variety of other purposes, with other photographically active groups being possible.
  • the coloring compounds according to the invention are incorporated into the casting solutions for the layers of the photographic material by one of the customary methods.

  • the association between diffusion-resistant coloring compound and silver halide required to achieve the desired effect can be produced, for example, by introducing the diffusion-resistant compounds from the aqueous solution into the casting solutions using existing acidic water-solubilizing groups.
  • the non-diffusing coloring compounds can, however, also be introduced into the layers by one of the known emulsification processes. Such methods are described, for example, in British Patents 791,219 and 1,099,414 to 1,099,417. It is also possible to prepare aqueous dispersions or coloring compounds and add them to the respective casting solutions. For this purpose, aqueous slurries of the coloring compounds are finely ground, for example by intensive stirring with the addition of sharp-edged sand or by using Ulese.
  • the coloring compounds may be desirable, for example, to store the coloring compounds together with silver halide and, if appropriate, developer substances in the form of so-called microcapsules, two or more differently sensitized light-sensitive silver halide emulsions and the corresponding diffusion-resistant compounds in a single layer in the manner of the so-called Mixed grain emulsions are combined, as described, for example, in US Pat. No. 2,698,794.

  • developer substances in the process according to the invention is not limited to color developers, but that conventional black-and-white developers are preferably also used, which is to be regarded as an advantage because of the lower tendency to discoloration of the latter.
  • the developers can already be contained in the layers of the color photographic material, where they are activated by the alkaline activator liquid, or in the alkaline processing liquid or paste. Since the coloring compounds according to the invention themselves have developer properties, the use of auxiliary developer compounds can be dispensed with under certain conditions. In this case, the coloring compound is immediately oxidized by developable silver halide.
  • the emulsions can be chemically sensitized, e.g. by adding sulfur-containing compounds during chemical ripening, for example allyl isothiocyanate, allyl thiourea, sodium thiosulfate and the like.

  • the developer oxidation products formed during the development of a silver halide emulsion may of course only have an effect on the assigned coloring compound. Separating layers are therefore generally present in the photosensitive element, which effectively prevent the diffusion of the developer oxidation products into other unassigned layers.
  • the silver halide emulsion layers can also be arranged in a different order, but the assigned layers must also be interchanged with the coloring systems so that the assignment is retained.
  • the opaque layer arranged under the photosensitive element is permeable to aqueous alkaline treatment solutions and thus to the diffusing dyes. It essentially has two functions: firstly, it serves to cover the image silver remaining in the originally light-sensitive element after development, as well as the color-providing compounds remaining as color negatives, so that when viewed through the transparent substrate of the light-sensitive part, only the positive color transfer image is visible ; second, it closes the photosensitive Element from the side of the image receiving layer (downward) from light-tight.
