Color photographic material containing a hydroxyindane

Claim 1

A light sensitive color photographic material capable of providing dye images upon exposure and development in a conventional liquid color developer and having improved resistance to bleaching of the dye image containing a silver halide emulsion and at least one hydrophilic binder layer containing a color coupler for the production of a dye image and in said binder layer in an amount to effectively reduce the bleaching of the produced dye image a hydroxy indane of the following formula: in which R 1 = hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl or a further hydroxy indane radical bonded by --S--, --SO 2 --, --O--, or a straight or branched chain alkylene bridge, of the formula: ##STR18## R 2 &R 3 = hydrogen, halogen, --NO 2 , carboxyl, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl, aryl, where the stated alkyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl and aryl groups can contain further substituents; R 2 and R 3 together can represent the radical necessary for completing a condensed carbocyclic ring; R 4 &r 5 = hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, or R 4 and R 5 together can represent the radical necessary for completing a 5- or 6-membered cycloaliphatic ring; R 6 and R 7 = hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl or phenyl; R 6 and R 7 together can represent the radical necessary for completing a 5- or 6-membered cycloaliphatic ring; R 8 and R 9 = as R 6 and R 7 ; when R 8 and R 9 together represent the radical necessary for completing a 5- or 6-membered carbocyclic ring which may contain an annulated ring, this radical when annulated can contain a hydroxyl subtituted benzo ring, capable of forming a dihydroxyspiro-bis-indane.
