Photographic reagents can be released, under alkaline conditions, from certain photographic reagent releasing compounds by means of oxidized 3-pyrazolidone developing agents. Particularly useful are acyclic and cyclic compounds in which the photographic reagent is linked, through a hetero atom, to a carbon atom which is adjacent to or in conjugation with a carbonyl group or an imino group. Upon reaction, under alkaline conditions, with an oxidized 3-pyrazolidone developing agent, the bond between the hetero atom and the carbon atom is cleaved. Photographic assemblages containing photographic reagent releasing compounds and processes of releasing photographic reagents in photographic elements and assemblages are described.
