Description
United States Patent Ofifice 3,065,075 Patented Nov. 20, 1962 3,065,075 PHDTOGRAPHIC PRODUCTS AND PROCESSES UTILIZING TRIPTYCENE DIOL SILVER HA- LiDE DEVELOPERS Samuel Dershowitz, Broolrline, Mass, assignor to Polaroid Corporation, Cambridge, Mass, a corporation of Delaware No Drawing. Filed July 13, 1960, Ser. No. 42,487 19 Claims. (Cl. 96-29) This invention relates to photography and, more particularly, to novel chemical compounds, compositions and processes useful in the development of photosensitive silver halide emulsions.
One object of this invention is to provide novel chemical compounds and suitable synthesis for their preparation.
A further object of this invention is to provide novel compositions capable of developing silver halide emulsions.
Another object is to provide processes for the development of silver halide emulsions employing the novel compositions of the invention.
Other objects of this invention will in part be obvious and Will in part appear hereinafter.
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 products and 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.
There is disclosed in an article by Bartlett et al., JACS, vol. 64, pages 26492653 (1942), the preparation of a new compound designated as 2,5-triptycene diol. This compound may be represented by either of the following structural formulas:
The above-mentioned compound is disclosed only as an intermediate in the preparation of triptycene, the ultimate compound sought by the authors.
It has now been discovered that 2,5-triptycene diol and its analogues are useful as agents for developing exposed silver halide emulsions.
The developing agents of this invention may therefore be represented by the following formula:
wherein each of R R R R R R R R R R R and R may be the same or different and may be hydrogen, aryl, alkyl and preferably lower alkyl, halogen, amino, cyano, acetamido, acyl, nitro, carboalkoxy, carboxyl, sul-fo, alkoxy, hydroxyl, carboxamido or aralkyl; either R or R may also be a quaternized group V element, such as phosphorous and nitrogen; and R together with R and R together with R may comprise points of fusion of a member of the group consisting of benzene, naphthalene and polynuclear aromatic rings, fused benzene rings being preferred.
In other words, the anthracene nucleus may contain aromatic rings, such as a benzene ring, fused in the 8,9 and/or 12,13 positions. The aromatic rings may be substituted in the manner set forth above in the formula, and Where used hereafter in the specification and claims, the expression aromatic rings should be construed to include within its scope the derivatives thereof.
From the foregoing formula, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the hydrogen atoms in the anthracene and quinone nuclei may be replaced in whole or in part with the above substituents without affecting the ability of the resulting compound to act as a developing agent for exposed silver halideemulsions.
The simplest or basic compound within the above formula, 2,5-triptycene diol, may be prepared in the manner described in the Bartlett et al. article mentioned above. That is, anthrecene and quinone may be heated under reflux to obtain the adduct of anthracene and quinone. This adduct may then be dissolved in boiling glacialacetic acid and hydrobromic acid added dropwise to obtain the desired 2,5-triptycene diol. This compound, a' colorless crystalline material, may be recovered from the reaction mixture by cooling and filtration.
In like manner, the various substituted anthracenes other than those having available primary or secondary amino groups and/or various substituted quinones may be employed in the above sequence of steps to obtain the corresponding analogues of 2,5-triptycene diol.
Anthracene nuclei containing available primary or secondary amino groups should not be employed in the above reaction, since the amino group tends to react independently with the quinone and thereby hinder the desired fusion of the quinone nucleus in the 15,16 position of the anthracene nucleus.
The amino compounds may be prepared, however, by reacting quinone and anthracene substituted in the desired position with one or more acetamido groups and thereafter hydrolyzing in routine manner to form the cone sponding amine. a
It is also contemplated that, where found desirable or expedient to do so, a triptycene diol may first be formed and then substituted in the proper position or positions to obtain the desired compound.
The following example illustrates the preparation of 2,5-triptycene diol.
EXAMPLE I 10.8 g. of anthracene and 7.3 g. of parabenzoquinone were heated under reflux in cc. of xylene for two hours. The solid Was collected on a filter and thoroughly washed with benzene. A solution of 14.1 g. of the adduct prepared above was partially dissolved in 200 cc. of boiling glacial acetic acid and 6 drops of concentrated hydrobromic acid were slowly added. The resulting mixture was boiled for 20 minutes, cooled, and the product collected by filtration, washed with water and then dried.

It should be apparent to the skilled worker that various derivatives of 2,5-triptycene diol may be employed in the sequence of steps defined in Examples IV and V to prepare the corresponding analogues of the pyridinium chloride and phosphoniurn chloride derivatives. In other words, in lieu of 2,5-triptycene diol, one may employ as the starting material in the preparation of the pyridinium chloride and phosphonium chloride derivatives, compounds of the general formula:
wherein each R has the meaning heretofore given.
Accordingly, the scope of the invention should not be construed as limited to the specific compounds illustrated in Examples IV and V.
The triptycene diol compounds of this invention may be used as silver halide developing agents in conventional multistage and multibath photographic processing procedures. They are also useful as silver halide developing agents in diffusion transfer processes such as those disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 2,647,056 to Edwin H. Land. When used in such transfer processes, the novel developer compositions of this invention may have incorporated therein, in addition to the conventional alkaline materials, a silver halide solvent, such as sodium thiosulfate. The silver halide developing agents of this invention are also useful as auxiliary or accelerating developing agents in processes employing dye developers, i.e., dyes which are also silver halide developing agents. Processes of this type are disclosed and claimed in the copending U.S. application of Howard G. Rogers, Serial No. 748,421, filed July 14, 1958, now U.S. Patent No. 2,983,606 issued May 9, 1961.
If the composition is to be applied to the photosensitive emulsion by being spread thereon in a thin layer, it may also include a film-forming thickening agent, such as, for example, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.
The following example is illustrative of the novel developer compositions of this invention and their use in transfer processes wherein a positive image is formed on an image-receiving element. It is to be expressly understood that the invention is not limited to the materials and proportions given by way of illustration.
EXAMPLE VI A photosensitive element was prepared by coating a support with a solution comprising 25 cc. of an aqueous silver iodobromide emulsion, 24 cc. of methanol, 1 cc. of wetting agent and 0.4 g. of the 2,5-triptycene diol prepared in Example I. The resulting photosensitive element Was exposed and processed with a processing composltion comprising:
Sodium carboxymehyl cellulose (medium The above processing composition was spread between the exposed photosensitive element and an image-receiving element as the elements were brought into superposed relationship. The image-receiving element comprised a support carrying an image-receiving layer in which silver precipitating agents were dispersed. After an imbibition period of approximately 1 minute, the elements were separated and the image-receiving element contained a positive silver transfer image.
It will be apparent that the relative proportions of the novel developing agents and the other ingredients of the above developer composition may be varied to suit the requirements of the operator. Thus, it is within the scope of this invention to modify the above developer composition by the substitution of preservatives or alkalies other than those specifically mentioned. It is also contemplated that, where desirable, the above developer composition may be modified by the inclusion of other common components of devloper compositions, such as restrainers, accelerators, etc.
Since certain changes may be made in the above prod ucts, 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.
