Abstract
Abstract A color photographic light-sensitive element having (1) reduced fog, (2) low reduction in sensitivity and (3) good yellow dye image light fastness, and comprising a support having thereon at least one silver halide photographic emulsion and optionally one or more non-light-sensitive subsidiary layers, wherein a blue-sensitive silver halide photographic emulsion layer and/or a non-light-sensitive layer adjacent thereto contains at least one asymmetrical hydroquinone compound selected from the group consisting of 2-methyl-5-tert-octylhydroquinone, 2-tert-butyl-5-tert- amylhydroquinone, 2-tert-butyl-5-tert-hexylhydroquinone, 2-methyl-5-tert-hexylhydroquinone, 2-methyl-5-tert-amylhydroquinone, 2-methyl-5-(1'-methylcyclohexyl)hydroquinone and precursors thereof wherein either or both hydroxyl groups are modified with an acyl group represented by the formulae: ##STR1## wherein R represents an alkyl group.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
A color photographic light-sensitive element comprising a support having thereon a red-sensitive silver halide photographic emulsion layer containing a cyan color-forming coupler, a green-sensitive silver halide photographic emulsion layer containing a magenta color-forming coupler, a blue-sensitive silver halide photographic emulsion layer containing a yellow color-forming coupler and, optionally, one or more non-light-sensitive subsidiary layers, wherein said blue-sensitive silver halide photographic emulsion layer contains at least one asymmetrical hydroquinone compound selected from the group consisting of 2-methyl-5-tert-octylhydroquinone, 2-tert-butyl-5-tert-amylhydroquinone, 2-tert-butyl-5-tert-hexylhydroquinone, 2-methyl-5-tert-hexylhydroquinone, 2-methyl-5-tert-amylhydroquinone, 2-methyl-5-(1'-methylcyclohexyl)-hydroquinone, and precursors thereof wherein either or both hydroxyl groups thereof are modified with an acyl group represented by the formulae: ##STR18## wherein R represents an alkyl group, said at least one asymmetrical hydroquinone compound serving to reduce color fogging without reducing the sensitivity and light fastness of a yellow dye image formed in said blue-sensitive silver halide photographic emulsion layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
141 words
A color photographic light-sensitive element comprising a support having thereon a red-sensitive silver halide photographic emulsion layer containing a cyan color-forming coupler, a green-sensitive silver halide photographic emulsion layer containing a magenta color-forming coupler, a blue-sensitive silver halide photographic emulsion layer containing a yellow color-forming coupler and, optionally, one or more non-light-sensitive subsidiary layers, wherein said blue-sensitive silver halide photographic emulsion layer contains at least one asymmetrical hydroquinone compound selected from the group consisting of 2-methyl-5-tert-octylhydroquinone, 2-tert-butyl-5-tert-amylhydroquinone, 2-tert-butyl-5-tert-hexylhydroquinone, 2-methyl-5-tert-hexylhydroquinone, 2-methyl-5-tert-amylhydroquinone, 2-methyl-5-(1'-methylcyclohexyl)-hydroquinone, and precursors thereof wherein either or both hydroxyl groups thereof are modified with an acyl group represented by the formulae: ##STR18## wherein R represents an alkyl group, said at least one asymmetrical hydroquinone compound serving to reduce color fogging without reducing the sensitivity and light fastness of a yellow dye image formed in said blue-sensitive silver halide photographic emulsion layer.
