Silver halide color photographic material

Claim 1

A color photographic material which comprises a support having thereon at least one silver halide emulsion layer having associated therewith at least one cyan dye forming coupler represented by formula [I], at least one coupler solvent having a melting point higher than 25° C., and at least one compound represented by formula [VI]: ##STR13## wherein: R 1 represents a substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic group, a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic group or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group; R 2 represents a substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic group; R 3 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic group, a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic group or a substituted or unsubstituted acylamino group; Y 1 represents a hydrogen atom, or a group or atom capable of being eliminated by a coupling reaction with an oxidized developing agent; said compound represented by formula (I) may form a dimeric, oligomeric or polymeric coupler by means of groups R 2 , R 3 and Y 1 ; R 13 , R 14 and R 15 , which may be the same or different, each represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an aryl group, an alkoxy group, an aryloxy group, an alkylthio group, an arylthio group, an alkylamino group or an acylamino group, a halogen atom, an acyl group, an alkoxy-carbonyl group, an aryloxycarbonyl group, an acyloxy group, a sulfonyl group, a sulfamoyl group, a sulfonamide group or a heterocyclic group, and two groups located at an adjacent position to each other among the groups R 13 , R 14 and R 15 may be connected to each other to form a 5 to 7 membered cycloaliphatic, aromatic, heterocyclic or heteroaromatic ring; R 16 , R 17 , R 18 , R 19 , R 22 , R 23 , R 24 , and R 25 , which may be the same or different, each represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an aryl group, an alkoxy group, an aryloxy group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an aryloxy-carbonyl group, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, or a halogen atom and any two groups selected from R 16 through R 19 may form a 5 or 6 membered ring.
