Abstract: Disclosed is a color photographic element comprising a yellow dye-forming coupler having formula I: wherein: B is a substituent containing 6 or more carbon atoms; L is a linking group bonded to the anilide ring by a carbon, sulfur, or oxygen atom; R is a substituent and n is 0-3; X is a solubilizing group containing an acidic proton; Y is a substituent; and Z is selected from the group consisting of H, chloro, an alkoxy group and an aryloxy group. The element provides an improved combination of reactivity and stability.

Abstract: Disclosed is a photographic element comprising a light sensitive silver halide emulsion layer having associated therewith a yellow dye-forming coupler having formula I: wherein each A is independently a divalent group selected from the divalent groups consisting of aryl and —C(R1)(R2)—, in which each R1 and R2 is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxy, aryloxy, heterocyclic, and aryl groups, and one A can be joined to form a ring with another A or with R3, and m is from 2 to 6; R3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, heterocyclic, and aryl groups, provided that R3 may form a ring with A or is a group joined to R4 to form a heterocyclic five- or six-membered ring; R4 is selected from the group consisting of aryl, heterocyclic, and alkyl groups and may form a heterocyclic ring bonded to R3; Y is selected from the group consisting of —SO2—, —C(═O)—, —C(═O)NR9R10—, —C(&bo

Abstract: This invention relates to a photographic element comprising a silver halide emulsion layer having associated therewith a yellow dye-forming coupler which is an acylacetanilide compound comprising an alkoxy or aryloxy substituent ortho to the nitrogen atom on the acetanilide ring said ring further comprising a substituent containing a chroman ether group.
