Abstract
Abstract A method of hardening gelatin is described comprising treating gelatin with a compound of the formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R 1 and R 2 can each represent a monovalent group including a carbon atom or a nitrogen atom forming a bond together with the nitrogen atom N forming an acid ester in the formula (I); or R 1 and R 2 together can form a heterocyclic ring together with said nitrogen atom N, and n is 1 or 2; and when n is 1, X is ##STR2## and Y is an alkyl group, an aryl group or an aralkyl group; and when n is 2, X is ##STR3##

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material comprising at least one gelatin-containing layer hardened by a hardening agent of the formula (I) ##STR9## wherein R 1 and R 2 each represent a monovalent group including a carbon atom or a nitrogen atom forming a bond together with the nitrogen atom N in the formula (I), the total number of carbon atoms in said monovalent groups being 4 or 5 carbon atoms; or R 1 and R 2 together form a heterocyclic ring which can contain an oxygen atom together with said nitrogen atom N, and n is 1 or 2; and when n is 1, X is ##STR10## and Y is an alkyl group, having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, an aryl group having from 6 to 12 carbon atoms or an aralkyl group having from 7 to 13 carbon atoms; and when n is 2, X is ##STR11##
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
149 words
A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material comprising at least one gelatin-containing layer hardened by a hardening agent of the formula (I) ##STR9## wherein R 1 and R 2 each represent a monovalent group including a carbon atom or a nitrogen atom forming a bond together with the nitrogen atom N in the formula (I), the total number of carbon atoms in said monovalent groups being 4 or 5 carbon atoms; or R 1 and R 2 together form a heterocyclic ring which can contain an oxygen atom together with said nitrogen atom N, and n is 1 or 2; and when n is 1, X is ##STR10## and Y is an alkyl group, having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, an aryl group having from 6 to 12 carbon atoms or an aralkyl group having from 7 to 13 carbon atoms; and when n is 2, X is ##STR11##
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material as in claim 1 wherein R 1 or R 2 together form a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring together with said nitrogen atom N.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material as in claim 1 or 2, wherein n is 2.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
