Abstract
Abstract Novel color forming couplers for use in silver halide color photography are described. These couplers upon oxidative coupling with an aromatic primary amino color developing agent produce dyes of improved stability against light and dyes having favorable spectral absorption characteristics. The couplers have high coupling activity and thus produce high color densities. The novel couplers are acylacetanilide compounds whereof the phenyl nucleus of the anilide group carries oxyhydrocarbon groups, preferably alkoxy groups in the 2-, 4- and 5-position with respect to the amido group.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
87 words
A method of producing a yellow coloured photographic image in a photographic light-sensitive silver halide material by image-wise exposure of the material and development thereof by means of an aromatic primary amino colour developing agent in the presence of an acylacetanilide compound suitable for use as yellow-forming colour coupler in silver halide colour photography characterized in that the acylacetanilide is one whereof the phenyl nucleus of the anilide group of the molecule carries oxyhydrocarbon groups in the 2-, 4- and 5-positions with respect to the amido group.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
87 words
A method of producing a yellow coloured photographic image in a photographic light-sensitive silver halide material by image-wise exposure of the material and development thereof by means of an aromatic primary amino colour developing agent in the presence of an acylacetanilide compound suitable for use as yellow-forming colour coupler in silver halide colour photography characterized in that the acylacetanilide is one whereof the phenyl nucleus of the anilide group of the molecule carries oxyhydrocarbon groups in the 2-, 4- and 5-positions with respect to the amido group.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
76 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein the phenyl nucleus of the anilide group of the molecule of the colour coupler contains, relative to the amide link, in the 5-position a C 1 -C 5 alkoxy group and in the 2- and 4-positions an alkoxy group including a substituted alkoxy group or an aryloxy group including a substituted aryloxy group, at least one of the 2- and 4-positions carrying a C 1 -C 5 alkoxy group.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein the colour coupler is a benzoyl or pivaloyl acetanilide colour coupler.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
150 words

A photographic element comprising at least one silver halide emulsion layer and an acylacetanilide colour coupler wherein the colour coupler is one whereof the phenyl nucleus of the anilide group of the molecule carries oxyhydrocarbon groups in the 2-, 4- and 5-positions with respect to the amido group.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
48 words
A photographic element comprising at least one silver halide emulsion layer and an acylacetanilide colour coupler wherein the colour coupler is one whereof the phenyl nucleus of the anilide group of the molecule carries oxyhydrocarbon groups in the 2-, 4- and 5-positions with respect to the amido group.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
77 words
A photographic element according to claim 5, wherein the phenyl nucleus of the anilide group of the molecule of the colour coupler contains, relative to the amide link, in the 5-position a C 1 -C 5 alkoxy group and in the 2- and 4-positions an alkoxy group including a substituted alkoxy group or an aryloxy group including a substituted aryloxy group, at least one of the 2- and 4-positions carrying a C 1 -C 5 alkoxy group.
