Abstract
Abstract A photographic yellow dye-forming coupler is represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein: R 1 is alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms; ball is a ballast group of such size and configuration as to render the coupler nondiffusible in a photographic element; Y is CO, PO 3 or SO 2 ; X is an aryloxy coupling-off group; and n is 1 or, when Y is PO 3 , n is 2. Such a coupler is useful in a color photographic silver halide element and process to provide improved activity.
