Description: Background of the Invention The present invention relates to 4-(N,N-dialkylamino)aniline compounds having a 4-N substituent which is a polyethyleneoxy group and which forms a condensed ring with benzene ring, a processing composition containing such a compound and a method for forming a color image in the presence of such a compound. 4-(N,N-dialkylamino)aniline compounds are useful as a developing agent for a silver halide color photographic material and they are described in, for example, Japanese Patent Unexamined Published Application (hereinafter referred to as "J. P. KOKAI") No. Hei 5-257248, 6-161061 and 7-36162. As mini-labs for processing photosensitive materials within the shops and the amount of color negative films used in the field of news photos are increasing recently, the demand for completion of the development process in a shorter time to immediately provide the prints to the customers or to immediately place the photo in newspapers or the like is rapidly increasing. The demand for reduction of the processing time is becoming more and more eager in processing color negative films, since the time necessitated therefor is longer than that necessitated for processing color papers. For the reduction of the time necessitated for the color development step in the processing steps, J. P. KOKAI No. Hei 4-45440 discloses a method wherein tetrahydroquinoline or a dihydroindole derivative is used as the color developing agent. The use of such a compound as the color developing agent is also described in U. S. Patent Nos. 2,196,739 and 2,566,259. In particular, it is described in J. P. KOKAI No. Hei 4-45440 that the time necessitating for the color developing step can be reduced by using such a compound as the color developing agent even in color photograhic photosensitive materials mainly comprising a silver bromoiodide emulsion such as color negative films. Further, it is described in European Patent No. 670,312A1 that when at lease one of three carbon atoms forming the propylene chain of tetrahydroquinoline skeleton is free from hydrogen atom, the fog density is lowered. However, it was found that the development of a photosensitive material for color photography with one of the compounds described in these specifications has some defects. Namely, since the image density in the unexposed part is high to cause a fog, the yellow and cyan image densities are insufficient as compared with the magenta image density in the exposed part, and the three-colors are not well balanced. Polyethyleneoxy groups having two or more repeating units are not described in the description or in the examples of the compounds as a 4-N substituent of a tetrahydroquinoline compound or dihydroindole compound in the above-described J. P. KOKAI No. Hei 4-45440, U. S. Patent Nos. 2,196,739 and 2,566,259 and European Patent No. 670,312A1. Not only in the compounds usable as the developing agent for silver halide color photographic materials but also in known 4-(N,N-dialkylamino)aniline compounds in which a 4-N substituent is capable of forming a condensed ring with a benzene ring such as te trahydroquinoline compounds and dihydroindole compounds, there are no compounds having a polyethyleneoxy group having two or more repeating units as N-substituent. Summary of the Invention An object of the present invention is to provide 4-(N,N-dialkylamino)aniline compounds wherein the 4-N substituent forms a condensed ring with the benzene ring. Another object of the present invention is to provide a color developing agent usable for silver halide color photographic materials. Another object of the present invention is to provide a processing solution for silver halide color photographic photosensitive materials, which contains the developing agent. Another object of the present invention is to provide a color image-forming method with the developing agent. Another object of the present invention is to provide a color developing agent capable of having a low fog density and sufficient yellow and cyan image densities and suitable for the rapid process. Another object of the present invention is to provide a processing composition containing the developing agent and useful for processing a silver halide color photographic photosensitive material. Another object of the present invention is to provide a color image-forming method. Another object of the invention is to provide a new compound expected for use as a starting material for dyes, medicines and agricultural chemicals.

KOKAI No. Hei 4-45440 and European Patent No. 670,312A1, the specifications of them are completely silent on the specific compounds corresponding to the color developing agent of the present invention.

The 4-(N,N-dialkylamino)aniline compounds can be synthesized according to a method described in, for example, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 73, p. 3100 (1951). They can be synthesized also by synthesizing methods which will be described below and so on. In the synthesis method, an alkyl group is introduced into the amino group of aniline forming the condensed ring with benzene. In particular, a polyethyleneoxy group is introduced thereinto at first by the reaction with a polyethyleneoxy group-containing halide, or a polyethyleneoxy group-containing alkyl or aryl sulfonate. Then, the azo coupling reaction in the p-position of the amino group is conducted or a nitroso or nitro group is introduced thereinto, and the obtained product is reduced by catalytic hydrogenation, reduction with zinc under acidic conditions or reduction with reducing iron to obtain the intended product. In the alkylation reaction, for example, 1 to 5 equivalents, preferably 1 to 3 equivalents, of an alkyl halide (chloride, bromide or iodide), alkyl sulfonate (mesylate, tosylate or the like) or alkyl ester (acetate, benzoate or the like) is used as the alkylating agent for alkylating one equivalent of the compound; 1 to 5 equivalents, preferably 1 to 3 equivalents, of an organic base (such as triethylamine or diazabicycloundecene) or inorganic base (such as sodium hydrogencarbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide) is used for alkylating one equivalent of the compound; and the reaction is carried out without using any solvent or in a solvent such as an amide solvent (e. g. N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide or 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone), sulfone solvent (e. g. sulfolane), sulfoxide solvent (e. g. dimethyl sulfoxide), ureide solvent (e. g. tetramethylurea), ether solvent (e. g. dioxane) or alcohol solvent (e. g. isopropyl alcohol or butanol) in the absence or presence of a catalyst (e. g. sodium iodide) at a reaction temperature in the range of 0 to 200°C, preferably 80 to 170°C for a reaction time in the range of 10 minutes to 72 hours, preferably 30 minutes to 12 hours. Then, azo coupling is conducted in the p-position of the amino group, or a nitroso group or nitro group is introduced thereinto. The azo coupling is conducted by, for example, converting unsubstituted or substituted aniline into a diazonium salt thereof in the presence of an acid (an inorganic or organic acid such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, methanesulfonic acid or acetic acid) without using any solvent or in water or an organic solvent (such as an alcohol- solvent, e. g. methanol, ethanol or isopropyl alcohol; an amide solvent, e. g.

The coupling reaction is conducted preferably under weakly acidic to weakly basic conditions. The nitrosation reaction is carried out by, for example, using 1 to 5 equivalents, preferably 1 to 2 equivalents, of an organic nitrosating agent (such as isoamyl nitrite) or inorganic nitrosating agent (such as sodium nitrite) in the presence of an acid (an inorganic or organic acid such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, methanesulfonic acid or acetic acid) without using any solvent or in water or an organic solvent (such as an alcohol solvent, e. g. methanol, ethanol or isopropyl alcohol; an amide solvent, e. g. N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide or 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone; a sulfone solvent, e. g. sulfolane; a sulfoxide solvent, e. g. dimethyl sulfoxide; or ureido solvent such as tetramethylurea) at a reaction temperature in the range of -78 to 40°C, preferably -20 to 30°C for a reaction time in the range of 5 minutes to 5 hours, preferably 5 minutes to 1 hour. The nitration reaction is carried out by, for example, using 1 to 5 equivalents, preferably 1 to 1. 5 equivalents, of nitric acid in having a concentration in the range of 60 to 98 % in the absence or presence of an activating agent selected from among sulfulric acid, sulfuric anhydride, acetic anhydride or trifluoroacetic anhydride without using any solvent or in water or an organic solvent (such as an alcohol solvent, e. g. methanol, ethanol or isopropyl alcohol; an organic acid, e. g. acetic acid; an organic acid anhyride, e. g. acetic anhydride or trifluoroacetic anhydride; amide solvent, e. g. N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide or 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone; a sulfone solvent, e. g. sulfolane; a sulfoxide solvent, e. g. dimethyl sulfoxide; or ureido solvent, e. g. tetramethylurea) at a reaction temperature in the range of -78 to 100°C, preferably -20 to 30 °C for a reaction time in the range of 5 minutes to 5 hours, preferably 5 minutes to 1 hour. Finally, the reaction product is reduced by, for example, catalytic reduction with hydrogen, reduction with zinc under an acidic condition or reduction with reduced iron to obtain the intended product. For example, the catalyltic reaction with hydrogen is conducted in the presence of a catalyst (such as palladium/carbon or Raney nickel) without using any solvent or in water or an organic solvent (such as an alcohol solvent, e. g. methanol, ethanol or isopropyl alcohol; an amide solvent, e. g. N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide or 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone; a sulfone solvent, e. g. sulfolane; a sulfoxide solvent, e. g. dimethyl sulfoxide; or ureido solvent such as tetramethylurea) at a reaction temperature in the range of 0 to 150 °C , preferably 0 to 50°C under a hydrogen pressure in the range of 1 to 500 atm, preferably 1 to 200 atm for a reaction time in the range of 5 minutes to 72 hours, preferably 1 to 8 hours. The reduction with reduced iron is conducted by, for example, using 4 to 10 equivalents, preferably 4 to 6 equivalents, of reduced iron and 0.0001 to 1 equivalent, preferably 0.001 to 0.1 equivalent, of an acid (such as an inorganic acid, e. g. hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, or an organic acid, e. g. acetic acid or methanesulfonic acid) or an acid salt (such as ammonium chloride, sodium chloride or sodium sulfate) singly or in combination of two or more of them without using any solvent or in water or an organic solvent (such as an alcohol solvent, e. g. methanol, ethanol or isopropyl alcohol; an amide solvent, e. g. N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide or 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone; a sulfone solvent, e. g. sulfolane; a sulfoxide solvent, e. g. dimethyl sulfoxide; or ureide solvent, e. g. tetramethylurea) at a reaction temperature in the range of 0 to 150°C, preferably 50 to 100°C for a reaction time in the range of 30 minutes to 72 hours, preferably 1 to 8 hours. The reduction with zinc under an acidic condition is conducted by, for example, using 3 to 10 equivalents, preferably 3 to 6 equivalents, of zinc powder in the presence of an acid (such as an organic acid, e. g. acetic acid or methanesulfonic acid, or an inorganic acid, e. g. hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid) without using any solvent or in water or an organic solvent (such as an alcohol solvent, e. g. methanol, ethanol or isopropyl alcohol; an organic acid, e. g. acetic acid; an amide solvent e. g. N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide or 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone; a sulfone solvent, e. g. sulfolane; a sulfoxide solvent, e. g. dimethyl sulfoxide; ureide solvent, e. g. tetramethylurea; or an organic acid solvent, e. g. acetic acid, propionic acid or methanesulfonic acid) at a reaction temperature in the range of 0 to 150 °C , preferably 0 to 100°C for a reaction time in the range of 5 minutes to 72 hours, preferably 30 minutes to 3 hours. The reaction product thus obtained is treated by an ordinary after-treatment method which is usually conducted after organic synthesis reactions, and then purified if necessary. Namely, the product isolated from the reaction system is used without the purification or after the purification by recrystallization, column chromatography or the like, or by a combination of such processes. Alternatively, the reaction product can be poured into water or ice after the completion of the reaction followed by the distillation of the reaction solvent or without the distillation, the product is then neutralized, if necessary, and purified, if necessary, by one or a combination of the recrystallization, column chromatography, etc. before the use. In another embodiment, the reaction solvent is distilled off, if necessary, after the completion of the reaction, the reaction product is poured into water or ice, then neutralized if necessary and extracted with an organic solvent, the obtained extract is purified, if necessary, by crystallization and/or column chromatography before use. Synthesis Examples of anilines forming a condensed ring with benzene ring are given below. The dihydroindole skeleton can be obtained by Fischer's indole synthesis method from an arylhydrazine as shown above and then reducing the obtained indole compound or indolenine compound. In another method, a hydroxymethyl group is introduced into the benzyl ring, this group is chlorinated and then a condensed ring is formed with the amino group in the 2-position of the benzene ring according to Journal of the Organic Chemistry, Vol. 55, p. 580 (1990). As for the formation of tetrahydroquinoline skeleton, 2,2,4-trimethyltetrahydroquinoline can be obtained by dehydration condensation of aniline with acetone followed by reduction of the product by a method described on page 328 of Organic Synthesis Collective Volume III. From N-allylaniline and zinc (II) chloride, a corresponding tetrahydroquinoline can be obtained by a method described in Journal of Japanese Chemical Society, p. 1043 (1981). Further, such a compound can be obtained by Friedel-Crafts reaction of an α,β-unsaturated amide and the reduction of the amide by a method described in Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 62, p. 778 (1940). Thus, various substituents can be introduced into the propylene chain of the tetrahydroquinoline structure by using the intermediate material constituting the basic skeleton. Some examples are given below. The description will be made on the use of the compounds of the present invention as color developing agent. The compound of the present invention can be used as the color developing agent either singly or in combination with other known p-phenylenediamine derivatives. Typical examples of the compounds usable in combination with the color developing agent include the following compounds, which by no means limit them: N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine (P-1), 4-amino-3-methyl-N,N-diethylaniline (P-2), 4-amino-3-methyl-N-ethyl-N-(3-hydroxypropyl)aniline (P-3), 4-amino-N-ethyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)aniline (P-4), 4-amino-3-methyl-N-ethyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)aniline (P-5), 4-amino-3-methyl-N-ethyl-N-(2-methanesulfonamidoethyl)aniline (P-6), N-(2-amino-5-N,N-diethylaminophenylethyl)methane sulfonamide (P-7), N,N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine (P-8), 4-amino-3-methyl-N-ethyl-N-(2-methoxyethyl)aniline (P-9), 4-amino-3-methyl-N-ethyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl) aniline (P-10), and 4-amino-3-methyl-N-ethyl-N-(2-butoxyethyl)aniline (P-11). Among the above-described p-phenylenediamine derivatives to be used for the combination, particularly preferred are compounds P-3, P-5, P-6 and P-10. The p-phenylenediamine derivatives are usually used in the form of their salts such as sulfates, hydrochlorides, sulfites, p-toluenesulfonates, nitrates and naphthalene-1,5-disulfonates. The processing composition may be in liquid form or solid form (such as powdery, granular or tablet form). These compounds are usable in combination of two or more of them depending on the purpose. The aromatic primary amine developing agent is used in an amount of preferably about 0.001 to 0.2 mol, more preferably 0.005 to 0.1 mol, per liter of the color developer. In the color development with the compound of the present invention, this compound is incorporated into a processing solution or, alternatively, the compound or a precursor thereof is contained in a photosensitive material so that the compound is formed to exhibit its effect in the development process. In this case, the amount of the compound is 1 to 30 parts, preferably 1 to 10 parts, more preferably 1 to 4 parts, per part of the coupler. The color developer may contain a compound for directly preserving the above-described aromatic primary amine color developing agent, which is selected from among hydroxylamines described in J.P.

KOKAI No. Sho 63-56654 and tertiary amines described in J.P. KOKAI No. Sho 63-239447. The color developer may contain, if necessary, also a preservative such as metals described in J.P. KOKAI Nos. Sho 57-44148 and 57-53749, salicylic acids described in J.P. KOKAI No. Sho 59-180588, alkanolamines described in J.P. KOKAI No. Sho 54-3582, polyethyleneimines described in J.P. KOKAI No. Sho 56-94349 and aromatic polyhydroxy compounds described in U.S. Patent No. 3,746,544. Particularly when the hydroxylamines are used, they are preferably used in combination with the above-described alkanolamines or aromatic polyhydroxy compounds. Particularly preferred preservatives are hydroxylamines represented by general formula (I) given in J.P. KOKAI No. Hei 3-144446. Among them, compounds having methyl, ethyl, sulfo or carboxyl group are preferred. The preservative is used in an amount of 20 to 200 mmol, preferably 30 to 150 mmol, per liter of the color developer. The color developer for the photosensitive material for prints contains preferably 3.0 x 10 -2 to 1.5 x 10 -1 mol/l, particularl y preferably 3.5 x 10 -2 to 1.0 x 10 -1 mol/l, of chlorine ion. When the chlorine ion concentration is higher than 1.5 x 10 -1 mol/l or particularly higher than 1.0 x 10 -1 mol/l, the development is retarded, which is against the object of the present invention, i.e. to rapidly attain the high maximum density and, on the contrary, a chlorine ion concentration of below 3.0 x 10 -2 mol/l is unsuitable for prevention of the fogging. The color developer used in the present invention contains preferably 0.5 x 10 -5 to 1.0 x 10 -3 mol/l, more preferably 3.0 x 10 -5 to 5 x 10 -4 mol/l of bromine ion. When the bromine ion concentration is higher than 1 x 10 -3 mol/l, the development is retarded, and the maximum density and sensitivity are lowered and, on the contrary, when it is below 0.5 x 10 -5 mol/l, the fogging cannot be sufficiently prevented. The chlorine ion and bromine ion can be directly added to the color developer or they can be dissolved out of the photosensitive material into the color developer in the course of the development. When the chlorine ion is directly added to the color developer, the chlorine ion-feeding substances include sodium chloride, potassium chloride, ammonium chloride, lithium chloride, magnesium chloride and calcium chloride. The chlorine ion can be fed from a fluorescent brightener added to the color developer. The bromine ion-feeding substances include sodium bromide, potassium bromide, ammonium bromide, lithium bromide, calcium bromide and magnesium bromide. When the chlorine ion or bromine ion is dissolved out of the photosensitive material in the course of the development, such an ion can be fed by an emulsion or another substance. The color developer may further contain additives mentioned in the above-described J.P. KOKAI No. Hei 3-144446. For example, a compound selected from among carbonates, phosphates, borates and ,hydroxybenzoates mentioned on page 9 of the specification thereof can be used as a buffering agent for maintaining pH. pH of the color developer is kept preferably in the range of 9.0 to 12.5, more preferably in the range of 9.5 to 11.5, with such a buffering agent. Antifoggants usable herein are halide ions and organic antifoggants mentioned on page 10 of that specification. Particularly when the concentration of the color developing agent in the color developer is as-high as 20 mmol/ℓ or above or when the processing temperature is as high as 40°C or above, a considerably high bromide ion concentration is preferred. Namely, it is preferably 17 to 60 mmol/ℓ. If necessary, the concentration can be controlled in a preferred range by removing the halogen with an ion exchange resin or ion exchange membrane. The chelating agents preferably used herein are aminopolycarboxylic acids, aminopolyphosphonic acids, alkylphoshonic acids and phosphonocarboxylic acids. They are typified by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, cyclohexanediaminetetraacetic acid, hydroxyethyliminodiacetic acid, 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid, nitrilo-N,N,N-trimethylenephosphonic acid, ethylenediamine-N,N,N,N-tetramethylenephosphonic acid, ethylenediamine-di(o-hydroxyphenylacetic acid) and salts of them.

Sho 63-146998, 63-199295, 63-267750 and 63-267751 and Hei 2-229146 and 3-186841, German Patent No. 3739610 and European Patent No. 468325. The color developer of the present invention may contain, if necessary, also a development restrainer such as a benzimidazole, benzothiazole or mercapto compound; a development accelerator such as a benzyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, quaternary ammonium salt or amine; a dye-forming coupler; a competitive coupler; an assistant developing agent such as 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidone; a tackifier; and a surfactant such as an alkylsulfonic acid, arylsulfonic acid, aliphatic carboxylic acid or aromatic carboxylic acid. If necessary, a development accelerator can be added to the color developer. The development accelerators include thioether compounds described in Japanese Patent Publication for Opposition Purpose (hereinafter referred to as "J. P. KOKOKU") Nos. Sho 37-16088, 37-5987, 38-7826, 44-12380 and 45-9019 and U. S. Patent No. 3,813,247; p-phenylenediamine compounds described in J. P. KOKAI Nos.

Sho 41-11431 and 42-23883 and U. S. Patent No. 3,532,501; as well as 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidones and imidazoles. These development accelerators are usable, if necessary. When the color developer is used for processing a photosensitive material for photography, the replenisher is fed in an amount of ,preferably 550 ml or below, more preferably 450 ml of below, and most preferably 80 to 400 ml, per m 2 . By reducing bromide ion concentration in the replenisher or by using no bromide ion, the amount thereof can be reduced to 300 ml or below. In processing a photosensitive material for prints, the color developer replenisher is fed in an amount of 20 to 600 ml, preferably 30 to 200 ml and more preferably 40 to 100 ml, per m 2 of the material. In processing the photosensitive material for photography, the processing temperature with the color developer is preferably 35°C or above, more preferably 40 to 50 °C . In processing the photosensitive material for prints, the processing temperature with the color developer is 20 to 50°C, preferably 30 to 45°C, and most preferably 37 to 42°C. In processing the photosensitive material for photography, the processing time with the color developer is preferably 30 seconds to 3 minutes and 15 seconds, more preferably 30 seconds to 2 minutes and 30 seconds. In processing the photosensitive material for printing, the processing time with the color developer is usually shorter than 3 minutes, preferably 10 seconds to l minute and more preferably 10 to 30 seconds. The term "processing time" (such as development time) herein indicates the time necessitated from entering of the photosensitive material into a processing bath to entering of it into the next processing bath. It is preferred that the developer for the photosensitive material for printing is substantially free from benzyl alcohol. To control the change of the photographic chracteristics during the continuous process and also to attain the effect of the present invention, it is also preferred that the developer for the photosensitive material for printing is substantially free from sulfurous acid ion (the term "substantially free" herein indicates that sulfurous acid ion concentration is not higher than 3.0 x 10 -3 mol/l). Sulfurous acid ion concentration is preferably not higher than 1.0 x 10 -3 mol/l, and most preferably, the developer is free from sulfurous acid ion. It is to be noted, however, that a very small amount of sulfurous acid ion used, before the preparation of the developer, for inhibiting the oxidation of the processing agent kit containing a concentrated developing agent is not included therein. To control the change of the photographic chracteristics depending on the change in concentration of a hydroxylamine, it is more preferred that the developer is substantially free from the hydroxylamine (the term "substantially free" herein indicates that the hydroxylamine concentration is not higher than 5.0 x 10 -3 mol/l). It is most preferred that the developer is completely free from the hydroxylamine. It is preferred to inhibit the evaporation of the developer and oxidation thereof by air. The contact area of the processing liquid with air in the processing vessel can be represented by the opening rate defined as follows: Opening rate = [(contact area of processing solution with air (cm 2 )] / [volume of processing solution (cm 3 )] The opening rate (cm -1 ) defined as above is preferably not higher than 0.05, more preferably in the range of 0.0005 to 0.01. The opening rate is reduced by covering the surface of the photographic processing solution in the processing vessel with a floating lid or the like, by providing a movable lid as described in J.P. KOKAI No. Hei 1-82033 or by a slit development process described in J.P. KOKAI No. Sho 63-216050. It is preferred that the processing solution in a color developer-replenishing tank or in a processing tank is sealded with a high-boiling organic solvent or a high-molecular compound to reduce the contact area thereof with air. It is particulrly preferred to use liquid paraffin, an organosiloxane or the like. The opening rate can be reduced not only in the color development and black-and-white development steps but also in all of the subsequent steps such as bleaching, bleach-fixing, fixing, water washing and stabilization steps. The developer can be reused by regeneration. The term "regeneration of the developer" herein indicates that the used developer is treated with an anion exchange resin or by electrodialysis and that the activity of the developer is increased by adding a processing agent called "regenerating agent". The regeneration rate (rate of the overflow in the replenisher) is preferably at least 70 %, particularly at least 90 %. The color-developed photosensitive material is then usually desilvered. The desilverization process herein basically comprises bleaching process and fixing process. Both processes can be conducted at the same time by a bleach-fixing process or these processes are combined with each other. The bleaching agents include, for example, iron salts; compounds of polyvalent metals such as iron (III), cobalt (III), chromium (IV) and copper (II); peracids; quinones; and nitro compounds. Typical bleaching agents are, for example, ferric chloride, ferricyanides, bichromates; organic complex salts of iron (III) (such as metal complex salts of aminopolycarboxylic acids, e. g. ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, cyclohexanediaminetetraacetic acid, methyliminodiacetic acid, 1,3-diaminopropanetetraacetic acid and glycol ether diaminetetraacetic acid); persulfates; bromates; permanganates; and nitrobenzenes. Among them, preferred are ferric aminopolycarboxylates and salts of them as described on page 11 of the above-mentioned J. P. KOKAI No. Hei 3-144446. Examples of them include ferric salts of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, cyclohexanediaminetetraacetic acid, methyliminodiacetic acid, 1,3-diaminopropanetetraacetic acid and glycol ether diaminetetraacetic acid. Other bleaching agents include complex salts of citric acid, tartaric acid and malic acid. Among them, particularly preferred are iron (III) complex salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and iron (III) complex salts of aminopolycarboxylic acids such as iron (III) complex salt of 1,3-diaminopropanetetraacetic acid. Such an iron (III) complex salt of aminopolycarboxylic acid is particularly effective in both bleaching solution and bleach-fixing solution. The bleaching solution, bleach-fixing solution, pre-bleaching bath and pre-bleach-fixing bath may contain a bleaching accelerator, if necessary. Examples of the bleaching accelerators include compounds having a mercapto group or disulfido bond described in U.S. Patent No. 3,893,858, West German Patent No. 1,290,812, J.P. KOKAI No. Sho 53-95630 and Research Disclosure No. 17129 (July, 1978); thiazolidine derivatives described in J.P. KOKAI No. Sho 50-140129; thiourea derivatives described in U.S. Patent No. 3,706,561; iodides described in J.P. KOKAI No. Sho 58-16235; polyoxyethylene compounds described in West German Patent No. 2,748,430; polyamine compounds described in J. P. KOKOKU No. Sho 45-8836; and bromide ions. Among them, compounds having a mercapto group or disulfido group and also having a remarkable accelerating effect are preferred. Particularly preferred are compounds described in U. S. Patent No. 3,893,858, West German PatentNo. 1,290,812 and J. P. KOKAI No. Sho 53-95630. Further, compounds described in U.S. Patent No. 4,552,834 are also preferred. These bleach-accelerators may be added also to the photosensitive material. When a color photosensitive material for photography is to be bleach-fixed, these bleaching accelerators are particularly effective. The desilvering bath may contain rehalogenating agents, pH buffering agents and other known additives as described on page 12 of J. P. KOKAI No. Hei 3-144446, in addition to the bleaching agent. An organic acid is preferably incorporated into the bleaching solution and bleach-fixing solution in order to prevent a bleach stain, in addition to the above-described compounds. Particularly preferred organic acids are those having an acid dissotiation constant (pKa) of 2 to 6 such as acetic acid, propionic acid, hydroxyacetic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, glutaric acid, fumaric acid, malonic acid and adipic acid. Particularly preferred are succinic, maleic and glutaric acids. The pH of the bleaching solution and bleach-fixing solution is usually 4.0 to 8.0. For conducting the process more rapidly, pH can be further lowered. The fixing agents usable for the fixing solution or bleach-fixing solution include, for example, thiosulfates, thiocyanates, thioether compounds, thioureas and a large amount of iodides. Among them, the thiosulfates are commonly used and ammonium thiosulfate is most widely usable. A combination of a thiosulfate with a thiocyanate, thioether compound or thiourea is also preferred. Examples of preferred preservatives for the fixing solution and bleach-fixing solution include sulfites, hydrogensulfites, carbonylhydrogensulfite adducts and sulfinic acid compounds described in European Patent No. 294769 A. Further, it is preferred to add a chelating agent such as an aminopolycarboxylic acid or organic phosphonic acid to the fixing solution or bleach-fixing solution in order to stabilize it. Examples of preferred chelating agents include 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid, ethylenediamine-N,N,N,N'-tetrakis(methylenephosphonic acid), nitrilotrimethylenephosphonic acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, cyclohexanediaminetetraacetic acid and 1,2-propylenediaminetetraacetic acid. Among them, 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid are particularly preferred. It is preferred to incorporate 0.1 to 10 mol/l of a compound having a pKa of 6.0 to 9.0 such as imidazole, 1-methylimidazole, 1-ethylimidazole or 2-methylimidazole into the fixing solution or bleach-fixing solution in order to adjust pH thereof. The fixing solution and bleach-fixing solution can further contain various fluorescent brightening agents, antifoaming agents, surfactants, polyvinylpyrrolidones, methanol, etc. When a replenishing system is employed in the process, the quantity of the fixing solution or bleach-fixing solution to be replenished is preferably 100 to 3,000 ml, more preferably 300 to 1800 ml, per m 2 of the photosensitive material. The bleach-fixing solution can be replenished by using a bleach-fixing replenisher or, as described in J.P. KOKAI No. Sho 61-143755 or Japanese Patent Application No. Hei 2-216389, overflowing bleaching solution and fixing solution can be used. The total processing time for the photosensitive material for photography in the desilvering step comprising bleaching, bleach-fixing and fixing is preferably 30 seconds to 3 minutes, more preferably 45 seconds to 2 minutes. The processing temperature is 30 to 60°C, preferably 35 to 55 °C. In processing with a processing solution having a bleaching effect, it is particularly preferred to conduct aeration so as to keep the photographic properties very stable. The aeration can be conducted by a method known in the art, such as blowing of air into the solution having the bleaching effect or absorption of air with an ejector. The processing solution having the bleaching effect is reusable by recovering the overflow used in the process and adding the components to regulate the composition thereof. Such a regeneration is easy in the present invention. The details of the regeneration are described on pages 39 to 40 of Fuji Film Processing Manual, Fuji Color Negative Film, CN-16 Process (revised in August, 1990) published by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. An automatic developing machine used for developing the photosensitive material of the present invention preferably has a means of transporting the photosensitive material as described in J. P. KOKAI Nos. Sho 60-191257, 60-191258 and 60-191259. As described in J. P. KOKAI No. Sho 60-191257, such a transportation means remarkably reduces the amount of the processing solution brought from the preceding bath into a subsequent bath, so that the deterioration in the function of the processing solution can be remarkably prevented. Such a function is particularly effective in reducing the processing time in each step and also in reducing the amount of the replenisher. The desilverization step is usually followed by a step of washing with water. This washing step may be replaced with a stabilization step. In the stabilization, any of known methods described in J. P. KOKAI Nos. Sho 57-8543, 58-14834 and 60-220345 can be employed. Water washing step / stabilization step in which a stabilizing bath containing a dye-stabilizing agent and a surfactant is used as the final bath may also be employed. The water for washing and the stabilizing bath can contain a softening agent for hard water such as an inorganic phosphoric acid, polyaminocarboxylic acid or organic aminophosphonic acid. The amount of water used in the washing step varies in a wide range depending on the properties of the photosensitive material (which depend on, for example, couplers used), temperature of water used for washing, number of the tanks (number of stages), replenishing method such as counter flow or down-flow system and various other conditions. The stabilizing solution contains a compound which stabilizes the color image, selected from among, for example, formalin, benzaldehydes such as m-hydroxybenzaldehyde, formaldehyde/bisulfurous acid adduct, hexamethylenetetramine and derivatives thereof, hexahydrotriazine and derivatives thereof, dimethylurea, N-methylol compounds such as N-methylolpyrazole, organic acids and pH buffering agents. The preferred amount of these compounds is 0.001 to 0.02 mol per liter of the stabilizing solution. The free formaldehyde concentration in the stabilizing solution is preferably as low as possible so as to prevent formaldehyde gas from sublimation. Various surfactants can be incorporated into washing water and stabilizing solution so as to prevent the formation of water spots in the course of drying of the photosensitive material. Among them, preferred is an anionic surfactant, particularly an alkylphenol/ethylene oxide adduct. The alkylphenols are particularly preferably octyl-, nonyl-, dodecyl- and dinonylphenols. The molar number of ethylene oxide to be added is particularly preferably 8 to 14. It is also preferred to use a silicon surfactant having a high antifoaming effect. The washing water and stabilizing solution preferably contain a chelating agent. Preferred chelating agents include aminopolycarboxylic acids such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid; organic phosphonic acids such as 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid, N,N,N'-trimethylenephosphonic acid and diethylenetriamine-N,N,N',N'-tetramethylenephosphonic acid; and hydrolyzates of maleic anhydride polymers described in European Patent No. 345,172 A 1. Water treated with a reverse osmosis membrane is effectively used as the washing and/or stabilizing solution. Preferably, each processing solution is used at 10 to 50°C. Although the standard temperature ranges from 33 to 38 °C, it is also possible to accelerate the process and thereby to reduce the process time at a higher temperature or, on the contrary, to conduct the process at a lower temperature so as to improve the image quality and stability of the processing solution. Each solution is usable for processing two or more kinds of photosensitive materials. For example, a color negative film and a color paper are processed with the same solution to reduce the cost of the processing machine and to simplify the process. The processing solutions are usable for processing various color photosensitive materials such as color negative films for movies, color reversal films for slides or television, color papers, color positive films and color reversal papers. They are suitable also for film units with a lens described in J. P. KOKOKU No. Hei 2-32615 and Japanese Utility Model Publication for Opposition Purpose (hereinafter referred to as "J. UM. KOKOKU") No. Hei 3-39784. The photosensitive materials must have at least one photosensitive layer on a support. A typical example of the silver halide photosensitive material comprises at least one color-sensitive layer (comprising two or more silver halide emulsion'layers having substantially the same-color sensitivity but different degree of sensitivity) formed on the support. The photosensitive layer is a unit photosensitive layer sensitive to any of blue, green and red lights. In the photographic photosensitive materials for multi-layered silver halide color photographs, the arrangement of the unit photosensitive layers is generally as follows: a red-sensitive layer, a green-sensitive layer and a blue-sensitive layer in this order from the support. However, the order of the arrangement may be reversed or a photosensitive layer having a different color sensitivity may be interposed between layers having the same color sensitivity. A photoinsensitive layer can be provided between the silver halide photosensitive layers or as the top layer or the bottom layer. The photoinsensitive layer may contain a coupler, DIR compound, color-mixing inhibitor, etc. The two or more silver halide emulsion layers constituting the unit photosensitive layer have preferably a structure consisting of two layers, i.e. a high sensitivity emulsion layer and a low sensitivity emulsion layer, as described in D. E. Patent No. 1,121,470 or G. B. Patent No. 923,045. Usually the arrangement of the layers is such that the sensitivity thereof decreases gradually toward the support. An emulsion layer having a low sensitivity may be formed away from the support and an emulsion layer having a high sensitivity may be formed close to the support as described in J. P. KOKAI Nos. Sho 57-112751, 62-200350, 62-206541 and 62-206543. The arrangement can be as follows: a blue-sensitive layer / GH/RH/GL/RL toward the support as described in J. P. KOKOKU No. Sho 55-34932, or a blue-sensitive layer / GL/RL/GH/RH toward the support as described in J. P. KOKAI Nos. Sho 56-25738 and 62-63936. Another arrangement is that of three layers having sensitivities gradually lowered toward the support, i.e. a top layer (a silver halide emulsion layer having the highest sensitivity), middle layer (a silver halide emulsion layer having a lower sensitivity) and bottom layer (a silver halide emulsion layer having a sensitivity lower than that of the middle layer) as described in J. P. KOKOKU No. Sho 49-15495. Even in such an arrangement comprising three layers having sensitivities different from each other, layers sensitive to the same color may further comprise an emulsion layer having a medium sensitivity / emulsion layer having a high sensitivity / emulsion layer having a low sensitivity in the order toward the support as described in J. P. KOKAI No. Sho 59-202464. In another example, the arrangement may be as follows: high-sensitivity emulsion layer / low sensitivity emulsion layer / medium sensiitivity emulsion layer or low sensitivity emulsion layer / medium sensitivity emulsion layer / high sensitivity emulsion layer. -When the photosensitive material has four or more layers, the arrangement of them may be varied as described above. For improving the color reproducibility, it is preferred to form a donor layer (CL) having an interlayer effect and a spectral sensitivity distribution different from that of the main photosensitive layers such as BL, GL and RL at a position adjacent to or close to the main photosensitive layers as described in U. S. Patent Nos. 4,663,271, 4,705,744 and 4,707,436 and J. P. KOKAI Nos. Sho 62-160448 and 63-89850. In an ordinary photosensitive material (color photograhic paper) for prints, the grains in the silver halide emulsions are spectrally sensitized with blue-sensitive, green-sensitive and red-sensitive spectrally sensitized dyes in the above-described order of the color layers, and the support is coated with them in the above-described order. However, the order of the coating of them may be varied. Namely, from the viewpoint of the rapid processing, the top layer is preferably a photosensitive layer containing silver halide grains having the largest average grain size; and from the viewpoint of the storability under the irradiation with light, the bottom layer is preferably a magenta-coloring photosensitive layer. The structure of the photosensitive layer and color hue may be free from the above-described conditions, and at least one infrared-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer may be used. The silver halides preferably used for the photograhic photosensitive materials include silver bromoiodide, silver chloroiodide and silver chlorobromoiodide containing at most about 30 molar % of silver iodide. Silver bromoiodide and silver chlorobromoiodide containing about 2 to 10 molar % of silver iodide are particularly preferred. The silver halide grains in the photographic emulsion may be in a regular crystal form such as a cubic, octahedral or tetradecahedral form; an irregular crystal form such as spherical or plate form; or a complex crystal form thereof. They include also those having a crystal fault such as a twin plate. The silver halide grain diameter may range from about 0.2 µm or less to as large as that having a projection area diameter of about 10 µm. The emulsion may be either a polydisperse emulsion or monodisperse emulsion. The monodispersion emulsion having a dispersion factor of 15 % or below, preferably 10 % or below is preferred. The silver halide photographic emulsion can be prepared by processes described in, for example, Research Disclosure (hereinafter referred to as "RD"), No. 17643 (December, 1978), pp. 22 to 23, "1. Emulsion preparation and types"; RD No. 18716 (November, 1979), p. 648; and RD No. 307105 (November, 1989), pp. 863 to 865. Tabular grains having an aspect ratio of 3 or higher are also usable. The tabular grains can be easily prepared by processes described in, for example, Gutoff, Photographic Science and Engineering, Vol. 14, pp. 248 to 257 (1970); U.S. Patent Nos. 4,434,226; and G. B. Patent No. 2,112,157. The crystal structure of the grains in the above emulsion may be uniform; the grains may comprise an inside portion and an outside portion which are composed of silver halides different from each other; or the structure may be a laminated one. Different silver halide grains can be bonded together by an epitaxial bond or they can be bonded with a compound other than silver halides such as silver rhodanate or lead oxide. A mixture of grains having various crystal forms can also be used. The emulsion may be of a surface-latent image type for forming a latent image mainly on the surface thereof, of an internal latent image type for forming a latent image in the grains or of such a type that a latent image is formed both on the surface and in the grains. The emulsion must be a negative one. In the internal latent image type emulsions, a core/shell type internal latent image type emulsion described in J.P. KOKAI No. Sho 63-264740 may also be used. Processes for producing the emulsion are described in J.P. KOKAI No. Sho 59-133542. The thickness of the shells in the emulsion which varies depending on the developing process is preferably 3 to 40 nm, particularly preferably 5 to 20 nm. The silver halide emulsion to be used in the present invention is usually physically and chemically ripened and spectrally sensitized. The additives to be used in these steps are shown in RD Nos. 17643, 18716 and 307105. The portions in which the additives are mentioned in these three Research Disclosures are summarized in a table given below. The amount of silver to be applied to the photographic photosensitive material is preferably not larger than 6.0 g/m 2 , most preferably not larger than 4.5 g/m 2 . The silver halide grains in the photosensitive material for prints are preferably silver chloride, silver chlorobromide or silver chlorobromoiodide grains comprising at least 95 molar % of silver chloride. Particularly, for the rapid process, substantially silver iodide-free silver chlorobromide or silver chloride can be preferably used. The term "substantially silver iodide-free" herein indicates that silver iodide content is not higher than 1 molar %, preferably not higher than 0.2 molar %. Further, in some cases, high-silver chloride grains containing 0.01 to 3 molar % of silver iodide on the emulsion surface as described in J. P. KOKAI No. Hei 3-84545 are preferably used so as to improve the high-intensity sensitivity, spectral sensitivity or storability of the photosensitive material. Although the halogen composition of the emulsion may be the same or different among the grains, the properties of all the grains can be easily made uniform by using an emulsion of grains having a uniform halogen composition. As for the halogen composition distribution in the silver halide grains in the emulsion, grains can be suitably selected from among those having a so-called homogeneous structure in which the composition in any part of the grain is uniform; those having a so-called laminated structure in which the halogen composition in the core of the silver halide grain is different from that in the shell (one or more layers) surrounding the core; and those having a structure which has a non-layer part having a different halogen composition in the core or on the surface (when such a lon-layer part is on the surface of the grain, the structure is such that the different composition part is conjugated with the edge, corner or surface of the grain). It is also effective to further increase the silver chloride content of the silver halide emulsion for the purpose of reducing the amount of the developer replenisher. In such a case, an emulsion comprising substantially pure silver chloride, i. e. an emulsion having a silver chloride content of 98 to 100 molar %, is also preferably used. The average grain size (number-average diameter of a circle having an area equal to that of the projected area of the grain) of the silver halide grains contained in the silver halide emulsion is preferably 0.1 to 2 µm. As for the grain size distribution, the coefficient of variation (calculated by dividing the standard deviation of the grain size distribution by the average grain size) is not higher than 20 %, desirably not higher than 15 %, and more desirably not higher than 10 %. Namely, the emulsion is so-called monodisperse emulsion. In order to obtain a wide latitude, this monodisperse emulsion is preferably blended in the same layer or it is applied to form an interlayer. The localized silver halide grain phase or its substrate may contain a different metal ion or complex ion thereof. Preferred are those selected from among ions and complexes of metals of the Groups VIII and IIb in the Periodic table, and lead ion and thallium ion. The localized phase mainly contains an ion or complex ion of a metal selected from among iridium, rhodium and iron, and the substrate mainly contains an ion or complex ion of a metal selected from among osmium, iridium, rhodium, platinum, ruthenium, palladium, cobalt, nickel and iron. The kind and concentration of the metal ion in the locallized phase may be different from those in the substrate. A combination of two or more kinds of these metals can also be used. It is particularly preferred that the iron and iridium compounds are in the silver bromide locallized phase. The silver halide emulsion is usually chemically and spectrally sensitized. The chemical sensitization is conducted with a chalcogen sensitizer (in particular, sulfur sensitization typified by the addition of an unstable sulfur compound, selenium sensitization with a selenium compound or tellurium sensitization with a tellurium compound). A noble metal sensitization typified by gold sensitization and reduction sensitization can be conducted either separately or in combination of them. Compounds preferably used for the chemical sensitization are those described from the right lower column on page 18 to the right upper column on p. 22 of J. P. KOKAI No. Sho 62-215272. The silver halide emulsion can contain various compounds or precursors thereof so as to prevent the fogging during the production, storage or processing of the photosensitive material, or to stabilize the photographic properties. Preferred examples of these compounds are described on pages 39 to 72 of the above-mentioned J. P. KOKAI No. Sho 62-215272. Further, 5-arylamino-1,2,3,4-thiatriazole compounds (the aryl residue has at least one electron-attractive group) described in European Patent No. 0447647 are also preferably used. The spectral sensitization is conducted for the purpose of imparting a spectral sensitivity in a desired wavelength range to the emulsion for forming each layer of the photosensitive material. The spectral sensitizing dyes used for the spectral sensitization in blue, green and red zones include, for example, those described in F. M. Harmer, Heterocyclic compounds - Cyanine dyes and related compounds (published by John Wiley & Sons [New York, London] in 1964). Examples of the preferred compounds and the spectral sensitization method are described from the right upper column, page 22 to page 38 of the above-mentioned J. P. KOKAI No. Sho 62-215272. As for the red-sensitive spectral sensitizing dyes for the silver halide grains having a high silver chloride content, spectral sensitizing dyes described in J. P. KOKAI No. Hei 3-123340 are very excellent in the stability, adsorption strength and dependence of the exposure on the temperature. For the efficient spectral sensitization of the infrared zone, sensitizing dyes described from the left upper column, page 12 to the left lower column, page 21 of J. P. KOKAI No. Hei 3-15049; from the left lower column, page 4 to the left lower column, page 15 of J. P. KOKAI No. Hei 3-20730; from line 21, page 4 to line 54, page 6 of European Patent No. 0,420,011; from line 12, page 4 to line 33, page 10 of European Patent No. 0,420,012; European Patent No. 0,443,466 and U. S. Patent No. 4,975,362 are preferably used. A dye (particularly oxonol or cyanine dye) which can be decolored by the process as described on pages 27 to 76 of European Patent No. 0,337,490 A2 can be incorporated into the hydrophilic colloid layer for the purpose of preventing the irradiation or halation or improving the safety of the safelight. Some of the water-soluble dyes impair the color separation or safety of the safelight when they are used in an increased amount. Preferred dyes usable without impairing the color separation are water-soluble dyes described in Japanese Patent Application Nos. Hei 03-310143, 03-310189 and 03-310139. Gelatin is advantageously used as the binder or protective colloid for the photosensitive materials. Other hydrophilic colloids can also be used either singly or in combination with gelatin. Preferred gelatin is a low-calcium gelatin having a calcium content of at most 800 ppm, more preferably at most 200 ppm. An antifungal agent as described in J. P. KOKAI No. Sho 63-271247 is preferably used in order to prevent the propagation of various fungi and bacteria in the hydrophilic colloid layer, since they deteriorate the image. In the printer exposure of the photosensitive material for printing, a band stop filter described in U. S. Patent No. 4,880,726 is preferably used for eliminating the photo-color-mixing and also for remarkably improving the color reproducibility. After the completion of the exposure, the photosensitive material can be subjected to an ordinary color development process. To rapidly conduct the process, it is preferred to conduct bleach-fixing after the color development. Particularly when the above-described high-silver chloride emulsion is used, pH of the bleach-fixing solution is preferably not higher than about 6.5, particularly not higher than about 6, for accelerating the desilverization.

The support used for the photosensitive material for printing may be made of any material such as a glass, paper or plastic film so far as the photographic emulsion layer can be applied thereto. The most preferred is a support of reflection type. The term "support of reflection type" herein indicates a support having a high reflectivity so as to obtain a clear dye image in the silver halide emulsion layer. The supports of this type include those coated with a hydrophobic resin containing a light-reflecting substance such as titanium oxide, zinc oxide, calcium carbonate or calcium sulfate dispersed therein, and those comprising the hydrophobic resin p er se containing the light-reflecting substance dispersed therein.

The preferred supports of reflection type used in the present invention are paper supports the both surfaces of which are each coated with a water-resistant resin layer, wherein at least one of the water-resistant resin layers contains fine white pigment particles. The water-resistant resins used for forming the reflective support are those having a water absorption of not higher than 0.5 % by weight, preferably not higher than 0.1 % by weight. They include polyolefins such as polyethylene, polypropylene and other ethylene polymers; vinyl polymers and copolymers thereof such as polystyrene, polyacrylate and copolymers of them; and polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene isophthalate and copolymers thereof. Particularly preferred are polyethylene and polyesters. The polyethylenes usable herein are high-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene and blends of these polyethylenes.

The yellow and cyan densities of each sample were determined with such an exposure that magenta density of 2.0 would be obtained. The densities [minus (-) means lowering of the density and plus (+) means increase thereof] are given in Table 2 as compared with the yellow and cyan densities obtained in the comparative developing steps (b). Further, the yellow fog density of the sample was determined, and the difference thereof from that obtained in the comparative development steps (b) is shown in Table 2.

It will be understood that although a high rapidness can be attained with the comparative compounds 1 to 5, it is not easy to obtain a satisfactory yellow density or cyan density and yellow fog density is high when they are used. With the color developing agent of the present invention, the yellow density and cyan density could be remarkably improved while the yellow fog density could be kept low. Namely, by using the developing agent of the present invention, the rapidness of the process could be increased, yellow density and cyan density could be secured while yellow fog density could be kept low. Example 9 The same sample 101 as that used in Example 8 was exposed. After the development by using the compound (D-62) of the present invention as the color developing agent in the color developer by a method which will be described below, a desired gradation could be obtained in a color development time of as short as only 60 seconds. Another advantage was that the fog density was low. The similar results could be obtained when the compound (D-62) was replaced with compound (D-2), (D-7), (D-59) or (D-60).

The image fastness of the samples of a magenta density of 2.0 were examined to find that an excellent image fastness was obtained with the compounds of the present invention. Example 11 A sample 301 in Example 3 of J. P. KOKAI No. Hei 5-188550 was exposed and then developed by the same mathod as that described in that specification except that the color developing agent in the color developer was replaced with an equimolar amount of the color developing agent (D-2), (D-59), (D-60), (D-62), (D-70), (D-86) or (D-150) of the present invention. The development time could be reduced, the fog density was low, and the difference among the magenta density, yellow density and cyan density was only slight favorably. When the compound of the present invention is used as the color developing agent, the process can be rapidly conducted, an image having sufficient yellow, magenta and cyan image densities and a low fog density can be obtained.
