Abstract: Photographically useful compounds such as photographic reagents and photographic dyes are blocked with a grouping which, under alkaline conditions, is cleaved from the compound by an intramolecular nucleophilic displacement reaction. The compounds are resistant to unblocking under storage conditions, but are uniformly unblocked under conditions encountered during photographic processing.

Abstract: A photographic element containing a compound represented by formula (I) ##STR1## wherein G represents --OR.sup.1 or --NHR.sup.2, R.sup.1 represents hydrogen or a hydrolyzable moiety, R.sup.2 represents hydrogen or an alkyl group containing from 1 to 50 carbon atoms, Z represents a photographically useful group, A represents an atomic group forming an aromatic ring, Ball represents an organic immobilizing group on the aromatic ring, which cntains from 8 to 50 carbon atoms, m represents an integer of 1 or 2, X represents a divalent organic group, Nu represents a nucleophilic group, and n represents an integer of 1 or 2, and X with the nucleophilic group Nu is capable of forming a 5- to 12-membered ring by oxidation having an electrophilic center at the carbon atom substituted by the --NHSO.sub.2 Z group.
Abstract: Mesoionic 1,2,4-triazolium-3-thiolate silver halide stabilizer precursors are novel compounds useful in a heat developable and heat stabilizable photographic silver halide materials and processes. After imagewise exposure of the photographic material, a developed and stabilized silver image is produced by heating the element. Mesoionic stabilizer precursors are also useful in photographic silver halide processing compositions.
Abstract: Imidomethyl blocked photographic reagents are useful in photographic elements, film units and processes. The blocked photographic reagents have the structure: ##STR1## wherein: J represents ##STR2## X represents the atoms to complete a 5- or 6-membered ring or ring system; R represents hydrogen, alkyl or 1 to 4 carbon atoms or aryl of 6 to 12 carbon atoms; andPR represents the residue of an organic photographic reagent containing a heteroatom through which it is joined to the imidomethyl blocking group.
Abstract: There are described novel compounds which are represented by the formula ##STR1## wherein R is ##STR2## A is sulfur or selenium; X represents the nonmetallic atoms necessary to form a nucleus which completes a five or six membered heterocyclic moiety; R.sub.1 is H or lower alkyl; R.sub.2 is H or a hydrolyzable group; and R.sub.3 is H, alkyl or a hydrolyzable group. The compounds are useful in photographic applications and provide controlled release of a photographically useful material during processing of photographic elements with an aqueous alkaline processing composition.
