Abstract:
A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support having provided thereon at least one silver halide layer and said silver halide layer or different layer containing at least one image forming compound represented by the following formula (1A) or (1B):(Dye-X).sub.q -Y (1A)wherein Dye represents a dye moiety containing one or more dyes or precursors thereof represented by the formula (2) or (3) shown below; X represents a mere bond or linking group which is dissociated corresponding to or inversely corresponding to the development of the photographic light-sensitive material; Y represents a group having a property of causing difference in the diffusibility of dye components corresponding to or inversely corresponding to the reaction of a light-sensitive silver salt having imagewise a latent image; Dye bonds to X at the position of at least one of R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and W.sup.1 in the formula (2) or at least one of R.sup.5 and W.sup.2 in the formula (3); and q represents 1 or 2 and when q is 2, the Dye-X groups may be the same or different, ##STR192## wherein R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom, a monovalent cation or a group capable of being hydrolyzed; R.sup.2 represents an acylamino group, a carbamoyl group, a sulfamoyl group, a ureido group or an alkoxycarbonylamino group; R.sup.3 represents an alkyl group or an aryl group; R.sup.4 represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent; R.sup.5 represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent; m represents an integer of from 0 to 4; n represents an integer of from 0 to 4 and when n is 2 to 4, two R.sup.5 groups may be bonded each other to form a saturated or unsaturated ring, provided that a case wherein the ring formed is a naphthalene ring is excluded; W.sup.1 represents an atomic group necessary to form a 5-membered or 6-membered ring, provided that case wherein the ring formed is a benzene ring is excluded; and W.sup.2 represents an atomic group necessary to form a 5-membered or 6-membered ring;(Dye'-X).sub.q -Y (1B)wherein Dye' represents a dye moiety containing one or more cyan dyes or precursors thereof represented by the formula (4) shown below; X represents a mere bond or a linking group; Y represents a group which is capable of releasing Dye' corresponding to or inversely corresponding to the reaction of a light-sensitive silver salt having imagewise a latent image and has a property of causing difference in the diffusibility between the Dye' released and the compound of (Dye'-X).sub.q -Y; q represents 1 or 2 and when q is 2, the Dye'-X groups may be the same or different; and X bonds to Dye' at the benzene ring to which B is bonded, ##STR193## wherein A.sup.1, A.sup.2, A.sup.3 and A.sup.4 each represents a hydrogen atom, a cyano group, a carboxyl group, a sulfo group, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group, a heterocyclic group, an acyl group, a sulfonyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryloxy group, a heteroaryloxy group, a silyloxy group, an alkylthio group, an arylthio group, a heteroarylthio group, a carbamoyl group, a sulfamoyl group, an acylamino group, a sulfonylamino group, an alkoxycarbonyloxyamino group, an aryloxycarbonylamino group, an alkoxycarbonyloxy group, an aryloxycarbonyloxy group, an aminocarbonylamino group, an aminocarbonyloxy group, an aminosulfonylanino group, a carbamoyloxy group, an amino group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an aryloxycarbonyl group, an acyloxy group or a sulfonyloxy group; R represents an acyl group, a sulfonyl group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an aryloxycarbonyl group, an aminocarbonyl group or an aminosulfonyl group; D represents a hydrogen atom or a protective group of a hydroxy group which is released upon the action of a nucleophilic reagent; Z represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group, a heterocyclic group or an amino group; B represents a hydrogen atom, an alkylsulfonyl group, a phenylsulfonyl group, a cyano group, a halogen atom or a sulfamoyl group; and l represents an integer of from 1 to 4 and when l is 2 or more, the B groups may be the same or different.
