Silver halide color photographic material containing yellow coupler

Claim 1

Colour photographic material which comprises at least one silver halide emulsion layer containing, as the yellow coupler, a compound of the formula in which G 2 is a benzoylacetanilide or pivaloylacetanilide radical which is bonded to the heterocyclic ring by means of the active methylene group, Z is --CO-- or --SO 2 --, M is alkyl with 1 to 18 carbon atoms, optionally substituted by halogen, hydroxyl, nitro, cyano, alkoxy, aryloxy or amino; aralkyl, cycloalkyl with 1 to 4 cycloalkyl rings, phenyl, optionally substituted by lower alkyl or lower alkoxy, halogen, acylamino, sulphonic acid groups, sulphonic acid amide groups, carboxylic acid groups, carboxylic acid amide groups, carboxylic acid ester groups, hydroxyl, nitro, cyano, amino, mercapto, alkylmercapto or --SO 2 W or --COW, in which W is alkyl with 1 to 18 carbon atoms, optionally substituted by halogen, nitro, cyano, amino or alkoxy with 1 to 18 carbon atoms; cycloalkyl, aryl, pyridyl, pyrimidyl, furyl or thienyl; M is also pyridyl, furyl, thienyl or perfluoroalkyl, acyl or dialkylamino with, in each case, up to 5 carbon atoms in the alkyl part; alkoxy with 1 to 18 carbon atoms or phenoxy; 1) M is further hydrogen, when Z is --CO--, and R is hydrogen or alkyl with 1 to 18 carbon atoms, aralkyl, aryl, pyridyl, pyrimidyl, furyl, thienyl, cycloalkyl, alkoxy with 1 to 18 carbon atoms, aryloxy, alkylmercapto with 1 to 18 carbon atoms, arylmercapto, halogen, acyl, acyloxyalkyl, trifluoromethyl, cyano, a primary amino group, a mono- or di-alkylamino group, in which the alkyl radicals each contain 1 to 18 carbon atoms, or one of the groups M--Z--HN--, W--CO--, ##STR246## W--SO 2 --, --SO 2 NH 2 , ##STR247## W--CO--O-- or W--O--CO--, in which E is alkyl with 1 to 5 carbon atoms, E' is hydrogen or alkyl with 1 to 5 carbon atoms and M, W and Z have the indicated meanings.
