Abstract
Abstract A photosensitive color-forming element comprises a support and a photosensitive color-forming layer formed on said support and containing therein at least one photosensitive color-forming azido compound of the formula <IMAGE> (I) wherein [A] is a benzene ring or naphthalene ring, R1 and R2 each is a hydrogen or halogen atom or alkyl, alkoxyl, dialkylamino, acyl, acylamino, nitro or hydroxyl radical, and R3 is a hydrogen or halogen atom, or alkyl, alkoxyl, nitro, carboxyl, alkylcarboxyl, dialkylcarbamoyl, sulfonic acid, dialkylaminosulfonyl, alkylsulfonyl or acyl radical or a group of the formula (II), (III), (IV) or (V): <IMAGE> (II) <IMAGE> (III) <IMAGE> (IV) or <IMAGE> (V) in which formula X is an -O- bonding or -NH- bonding.

105 words
A photosensitive color forming element comprising a support and a photosensitive color-forming layer coated on said support and containing therein at least one photosensitive color forming azido compound of the formula (I): ##STR6## wherein R 1 and R 2 respectively represent a substituent selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and halogen atoms and alkyl, alkoxyl, dialkylamino, acylamino, and hydroxyl radicals, and are respectively in 2 - and 4 - positions, 3 - and 5 - positions or 2 - and 5 - positions of said benzene ring with respect to said -NH- group of said benzene ring, and R 3 represents an alkylcarboxyl radical.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
105 words
A photosensitive color forming element comprising a support and a photosensitive color-forming layer coated on said support and containing therein at least one photosensitive color forming azido compound of the formula (I): ##STR6## wherein R 1 and R 2 respectively represent a substituent selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and halogen atoms and alkyl, alkoxyl, dialkylamino, acylamino, and hydroxyl radicals, and are respectively in 2 - and 4 - positions, 3 - and 5 - positions or 2 - and 5 - positions of said benzene ring with respect to said -NH- group of said benzene ring, and R 3 represents an alkylcarboxyl radical.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
