Description

The present invention relates to a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material having high sensitivity and excellent color developability, and more specifically, it has high sensitivity and improved color developability and color image storability, The present invention also relates to a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material having improved developability.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In general, a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material comprises three kinds of photographic silver halide emulsions which are selectively spectrally sensitized on a support so as to have sensitivity to blue light, green light and red light. Layers are applied. For example, in a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material for a color negative, a blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, a green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, and a red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer are generally coated in this order from the exposed side. A bleachable yellow filter layer is provided between the blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and the green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer to absorb blue light transmitted through the blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer. .

Further, each emulsion layer is provided with another intermediate layer for various special purposes and a protective layer as the outermost layer. It is also known that each of these light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers is provided in an arrangement different from that described above. Further, each of the silver halide emulsion layers is sensitive to color light in substantially the same wavelength range. It is also known to use a photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer consisting of two or more layers having a. In these silver halide color photographic light-sensitive materials, the exposed silver halide grains are developed by using, for example, an aromatic primary amine type color developing agent as a color developing agent, and the generated color developing agent is oxidized. The reaction of the body with the dye-forming coupler forms a dye image. In this method, various dye-forming couplers are typically used to form cyan, magenta and yellow dye images.

These dye-forming couplers are contained in the light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer or in the developing solution. INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention is suitable as a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material in which a coupler is previously made non-diffusible and contained in a silver halide emulsion layer.

Known yellow couplers include open-chain ketomethylene compounds, and cyan couplers include α-naphthol compounds and phenol compounds. Examples of magenta couplers include 5-pyrazolone compounds, pyrazolone benzimidazole compounds and pyrazolone triazole compounds.

Further, naphthol couplers have been the main ones as cyan couplers used in silver halide color photographic light-sensitive materials having higher sensitivity than before. This is characterized in that there is little secondary absorption in the green light region in the short wavelength region of the absorption spectrum of the cyan dye produced by the coupling reaction with the oxidant of the color developing agent, which is preferable for color reproduction.

In recent light-sensitive materials, the tendency toward rapid processing by shortening the processing time has become stronger, especially in small automatic developing machines. For this reason, the red light-sensitive material generally located at the bottom layer side of multilayer color light-sensitive materials The sex strata are most susceptible to this effect.

In particular, a color photographic material using a conventional naphthol-based cyan coupler has a drawback that a bleaching or bleach-fixing solution is tired or the processing time is shortened, and a sufficient color image density is not obtained. It was It is considered that this is caused by reduction and fading of the cyan dye due to ferrous ions contained in a large amount in the bleaching solution or the bleach-fixing solution.

Examples of couplers that do not cause reduction fading of such cyan dyes are described in, for example, JP-A-56-65134, JP-A-57-204543, and JP-A-5-204543.
Phenolic cyan couplers having a phenylureido group at the 2-position disclosed in 8-33250 and the like are known, but it cannot be said to be sufficient for improving the reduction and fading of cyan dyes in the recent rapid bleaching process. However, there is a serious drawback that the generated color-developing dye absorbs a large amount of light in the green region, which causes deterioration of color reproducibility.

On the other hand, naphthol cyan couplers having a mono-substituted amino group at the 5-position have been proposed in JP-A-60-237448 and JP-A-61-153640, but they are still insufficient as an improvement in reduction fading of cyan dyes. However, there are drawbacks that a sufficiently high color density cannot be obtained, and the cyan image formed has poor fastness to heat or light.

[Object of the Invention] A first object of the present invention is to provide a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material excellent in color forming property.

A second object of the present invention is to provide a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material in which the bleaching or bleach-fixing time is shortened or the cyan coloring dye concentration is hardly reduced even when a bleaching or bleach-fixing solution having a weak oxidizing ability is used. It is to be.

The coupler used was the same as that used in Sample 1 and Sample 7 was used.
-18 were replaced with DOP as the high boiling point solvent by the compound of the general formula (B) according to the present invention.

Each of the samples prepared in this manner was subjected to wedge exposure using white light and then subjected to the following development processing.

Treatment process (38 ℃) Color development 3 minutes 15 seconds Bleach 6 minutes 30 seconds Water washing 3 minutes 15 seconds Fixing 6 minutes 30 seconds Water washing 3 minutes 15 seconds Stabilization 1 minute 30 seconds Dry Used in each processing step The composition of the treatment liquid is as follows.

[Stabilizing solution] Formalin (37% aqueous solution) 1.5 ml Conidax (manufactured by Konishi Roku Kogyo Co., Ltd.) 7.5 ml Make up to 1 by adding water.

The concentration of each of the obtained samples was measured using red light. Regarding the density measurement value, the sensitivity of sample No. 1 was set to 100 for the sample subjected to wedge exposure, and the relative sensitivity (S) and the maximum color density (Dmax) of each sample were measured.

Next, in order to measure the color developability of cyan in the shortened bleaching time processing, 40% of the color developing solution was mixed in the bleaching solution, and the processing time was shortened from 6 minutes 30 seconds to 3 minutes 15 seconds ( Development processing (B) was performed in the same manner as in A).

Sensitometry of the samples treated with the development treatments (A) and (B) was performed, and the cyan color obtained by the development treatment (B) was obtained at an exposure amount at which a cyan color density of 1.5 was obtained by the non-shortened development treatment (A).

 The results obtained above are summarized in Table 1.

From the results in Table 1, the ureido cyan coupler of Sample 1 shows a high sensitometric characteristic, but a slight decrease in the cyan color development due to the shortening of the bleaching treatment time was observed, and the conventional naphthol cyan Sample 2, which is a coupler, shows a marked increase in degradation.

On the other hand, Samples 3 to 6 using the cyan coupler according to the present invention have an improved cyan color development rate, but those using DOP or TCP as a high boiling solvent have low color development as sensitometry and are satisfactory. It can be seen that the concentration has not reached a sufficient level. On the other hand, in Samples 7 to 9 in which the high boiling point solvent according to the present invention was used in combination with ureido cyan, no particular improvement in the cyan color development rate was observed.

On the other hand, Samples 10 to 18, which are the present invention, showed almost no reduction in the cyan coloring rate in the shortened bleaching treatment, and the coloring density which was not sufficiently obtained by the conventional high boiling point solvent was remarkably improved. There is.

From the above results, in order to obtain the silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material of the present invention, which has an improved reduction in cyan color density under the development processing conditions of high color development and weak bleaching ability, the cyan of the present invention can be obtained. It could be realized by using the compound represented by the general formula (B) as the coupler and the high boiling point solvent.

Example 2 The developed sample obtained by the development treatment (A) of Example 1 was measured at 90 ° C. to measure the fastness of a cyan image.
The test was carried out under two conditions: storage in the dark for 15 days and exposure to 100,000 lux for xenon fade meter for 8 days. Table 2 shows the residual ratio of the color image at the point of cyan density of 1.5 without treatment.

From the results of Table 2, Samples 1 to 9 which are combinations other than the present invention
