More Information
Summary:This invention relates to photographic processes and products for forming an image in dye from a colorless precursor of a preformed image dye which is substituted with a moiety containing a thiazolidinyl group, said thiazolidinyl group (a) being capable of undergoing cleavage imagewise in the presence of an imagewise distribution of silver ion and/or soluble silver complex and (b) possessing a substituent on the carbon atom in the 2-position that undergoes a .beta.-elimination reaction upon said imagewise cleavage, which moiety maintains the precursor in its colorless form at least until said thiazolidinyl group undergoes said cleavage. In a further embodiment, an imagewise distribution of a photographically useful reagent, which reagent may be, for example, a photographically active reagent, is released as a carbamic acid by a .beta.-elimination reaction following the cleavage of a thiazolidinyl group whereby said reagent is provided with a solubilizing group at least during the initial stages of processing. A typical thiazolidinyl compound useful in this invention is: < IMG >
