(Cl. 96-29) This invention relates to photography and more particularly to novel chemical compounds usefiul in the development of photosensitive silver halide elements.
It is one object of the present invention to provide novel chemical compounds which may be employed in the development of silver halide emulsions.
Another object of the present invention is to provide novel developer compositions and processes employing such novel developer compositions for the development of silver halide emulsions.
A fiurther object of this invention is to provide novel developer compositions usetul in diffusion transfer processes.
The invention accordingly comprises the several steps and the relation and order of one or more of such steps with respect to each of the others, and the compositions possessing the features, properties and the relation of elements which are exemplified in the following detailed disclosure, and the scope of the application of which will. be indicated in the claims.
Other objects of this invention will in part be obvious and will in part appear hereinafter.
The present invention relates to novel N-substit-uted hydroxylamines corresponding to the zforrnula:
R -N-R wherein at least one of R and R is an alkyl group containing an intralinear amino nitrogen atom, either cyclic or acyclic, and the other of R and R is selected from the group consisting of alkyl groups and alkyl groups containing an intralinear amino nitrogen atom, either cyclic or acyclic. R and R preferably contain from 1 to 7 carbons, but may contain more carbons provided the resulting compound is soluble in aqueous sodium hydroxide.
The preferred hydroxylamines of this invention include:

Many of the novel hydroxylamines of this invention may be prepared by an addition reaction ibetween a hydroxylamine and an appropriate compound, mg, a pyridine or acrylamide, containing an activated double bond. Where the reaction is exothermic, use of cooling means, e.g., addition of ice, may be desirable to hold the to perature below the critical point. Isolation of the product preferably is accomplished by vacuum fractionatiug or by recrystallization of a suitable solvent, though in some cases extraction or other purification procedures may be desirable before distillation.

As previously mentioned, the novel silver halide developing agents of this invention are useful in conventional or wet development of silver halide emulsions, diffusion transfer processes, both dye and silver, and many of them are especially useful in such photographic processes wherein it is desired to eliminate or minimize the need for washing or stabilizing operations in liquid baths subsequent to the formation of the silver print. Examples of such processes are disclosed in US. Patent No. 2,647,056 to Edwin H. Land.
In diffusion transfer processes of this type, as is well known in the art, an exposed .silver halide emulsion is treated with a liquid processing composition while in superposed relationship with an image-receiving mate-. The liquid processing composition develops exposed silver halide to silver and reacts with unexposed rial.
silver halide to form a complex silver salt which is transferred to the image-receiving material and there reduced 1 to silver to form a positive print. The processing composition includes a silver halide solvent, such as sodium thiosulfate, and may also contain a film-forming mate rial for increasing the viscosity of the composition. As used herein, the term silver halide solven refers to reagents which will form a soluble complex with silver. halide, as is well known in the art of forming silver images .by transfer.
The following example is intended to illustrate the use of the novel developing agents of this invention in diffusion transfer processes, and is intended to, be illus-' trative only.
Example 8 A silver iodobromide emulsion sold .by E. I du Pont de Nemours & Co., Wilmington, Delaware, was exposed and processed with a processing solution preparedby.
adding 0.4 g. of N-methyl-N-2-dimethylaminoethyl-hydroxylamine to 10 cc. of a composition comprising:
Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose g 38.1 Sodium hydroxide g 34.2 6-nitrobenzimidazole nitrate g 60 Sodium sulfite g 53.6 Sodium thiosulfate g 20.0 Water cc 850 The image-receiving element comprised a silver-receptive stratum containing silver-precipitating nuclei dispersed .in
molar equivalents of the other novel hydroxylamines prepared in the above examples also gave good diffusion transfer images.
N,N-diethyl-hydroxylamine is characterized by substantial volatility at room temperatures. While this is a desirable property. for many purposes, e.g., to remove unreacted developing agent without washing operations,
there results a strong fishy. or amine odor which is objectionable in many applications, e.g., where a number of prints are to be made in a short time in the same room. In contrast, many'of the novel developing agents of this invention do not exhibit strong odors at room temperature because their vapor pressures are appreciably lower than that of N,N-diethy1-hydroxylamine. Although N-methyl- N-2-dimethylaminoethylhydroxyl-amine does have appreciable volatility at room temperature, ithas a shorter development induction period than N;N-diethyl-hydroxylamine. The compounds containing a heterocyclic nitrogen atom may be less desirablethan the others in certain applications, since they tend to form coloredoxidation products instead of the colorless or substantially colorless oxidation products of the other compounds.
The induction periods of the novel developing agents of this invention were tested by applying an approximately 1 molar solution of the hydroxylarnine in 5% sodium hydroxide to a fogged silver iodobromide emulsion and 1 noting the elapsed time before strong developing starts.
The compounds preparedin Examples 1, 4, 5 and 6 all showed induction periods of from 1 to 2 seconds, and that of Example 3 showed an induction period of 3 seconds, as compared with 2.5 to 3 seconds for N,N-diethyl-hydroxylamine and 8 seconds for N,N-dimethyl-hydroxylamine.
The novel developing agents may be employed in solution or they may be initially incorporated in a layer of the photosensitive or image-receiving elements; in the latter case they are preferably employed as acid salts, e.g., as the hydrochloride or hydrobromide.
It will be apparent that the relative proportions of the novel developing agents of the developer compositions set forth above may be varied to suit the requirements of the operator. Thus, it is within the scope of this invention to modify the above developer compositions by the substitution of preservatives, alkalies, silver halide solvents, anti-foggants, etc., other than those specifically mentioned. Where desirable, it is also contemplated to include in the developer composition common components such as restrainers, accelerators, etc.
Since certain changes may be made in the above compositions and processes without departing from the scope of the invention herein involved, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
