Silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material containing novel magenta couplers.

摘要

A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material containing a novel magenta dye-forming coupler. The coupler is represented by the following Formula I: <CHEM> wherein R1 is a hydrogen atom or a substituent; R2 is a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group,a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group,a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group or a substituted or unsubstituted amino group; provided, R1 and R2 are allowed to bond together so as to complete a ring; Z is a hydrogen atom or a group capable of being split off upon coupling reaction with the oxidized product of a an aromatic primary amine developing agent; and EWG is an electron attractive group having a Hammet's sigma rho value of more than 0.3. The photographic material has excellent color repdroduci-bility and improved in color forming efficiency and graininess of images.
