摘要:
This invention relates to a class of phthalein indicator dyes useful as optical filter agents in photographic processes to protect a selectively exposed photosensitive material from further exposure during processing in the presence of incident light. Such dyes comprise 3,3-disubstituted phthalides and 3,3disubstituted naphthalides wherein the 3,3 substituents are phydroxy carbocyclic aryl radicals wherein one or both of the radicals possess a -CH2-NRR'' group ortho to the p-hydroxy group and the -CH2-NRR'' group(s) is capable of rendering the indicator dye substantially non-diffusible in aqueous solution.
摘要:
THIS INVENTION RELATES TO PHENOL PHTHALEIN INDICATOR DYES CONTAINING AS THE RING-CLOSING MOIETY, A NAPHTHALIDE GROUP OR A CARBOXYPHTHALIDE GROUP POSSESSING A CARBOXY SUBSTITUENT IN EITHER THE 4- AND/OR 7-POSITION OF THE PHTHALIDE RING. IN A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT, THE PHENOL RADICALS ARE SUBSTITUTED WITH A HYDROGEN-BONDING GROUP ON A CARBON ATOM ADJACENT TO THE CARBON ATOM CONTAINING THE PHENOLIC -OH. THESE DYES, DUE TO THE NAPHTHALIDE OR CARBOXYPHTHALIDE RING-CLOSING MOIETY EXHIBIT IMPROVED STABILITY IN HIGHLY ALKALINE MEDIA AND WHEN SUBSTITUTED WITH HYDROGEN-BONDING GROUPS AS IN THE THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT, POSSESS A RELATIVELY HIGH PKA AS WELL.
