Disclosed are a photographic yellow dye-forming coupler of formula (I) and a photographic material containing one or more such yellow couplers. ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 represents an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group, an alkylamino group, an anilino group, or a heterocyclic group; R.sub.2 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an aliphatic-oxy group, an aryloxy group, an aliphatic group, or an amino group; R.sub.3 represents an alkenyl group; R.sub.4 represents a substituent; m represents an integer of from 0 to 3; and X represents a hydrogen atom, or a group capable of being split off from the formula by the coupling reaction with an oxidation product of an aromatic primary amine developing agent. The couplers have a high solubility in solvents, and emulsions containing the couplers can be stored in cool for a long period of time without worsening the coloring property of the couplers.
