Photographic elements comprising said compounds are also disclosed.
9 Claims, No Drawings VINYLSULFONYL-CONTAINING COMPOUNDS AS HARDENING AGENTS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a class of new hardeners and more particularly to hardening compounds containing two vinyl-sulfonylalkyl groups attached to a single heteroatom. In one aspect, this invention relates to the rendering of compositions of proteins and proteinaceous substances, such as hydrophilic colloids, resistant to the effects of swelling from aqueous solutions. In another aspect it relates to the use of said hardeners in photography and more particularly to photographic elements comprising a layer hardened by said hardeners and exhibiting reduced staining characteristics. In still another aspect it relates to improvements in photographic elements comprising color couplers.
2. Description Of The Prior Art The use of various hardenable materials, such as proteins and proteinaceous substances, like hydrophilic colloids and more particularly gelatin and certain synthetic carboxyl-containing polymers, alone and in combination with each other, is enhanced by increasing their resistance to swelling from aqueous solutions. These hardenable materials can be advantageously hardened in various forms such as solutions, emulsions and layers as for example in photographic products and elements.
Various materials have been suggested for increasing swell resistance of proteins and proteinaceous materials, like hydrophilic colloids, and although some materials have shown utility, many of them have adversely affected the properties, particularly photographic properties, of substances containing them. In order to improve resistance to aqueous swell or to harden a hardenable material, such as a carboxyl-containing polymer, without adversely affecting its photographic properties, hardening agents containing vinyl sulfones have been incorporated into hardenable materials. For example, certain hardening compounds containing two or more vinylsulfonylalkyl groups linked to a plurality of tertiary or quaternary nitrogen atoms or ether oxygen atoms are disclosed. in the prior art. However, these compounds are not readily accessible and their preparation and synthesis generally requires handling of the highly toxic and vesicant divinyl sulfone. Further, as shown by examples hereafter, the compounds of the present invention are significantly more active on a mole for mole basis than prior hardening compounds disclosed in US. Pat. application Ser. No. 488,797, Burness et al., filed Sept. 20, I965 abandoned in favor of U.S. application Ser. No. 682,641 filed Nov. 13, 1967, now US. Pat. No. 3,490,911 issued Jan. 20, 1970. It is evident that the art would be advanced by effective, safe and convenientmeans for providing good swell resistance to hardenable materials, using hardening compounds which neither substantially affect adversely the photographic properties of said materials nor detrimentally affect the individual workers during said compounds preparation.
It is an object of this invention to provide hardening compounds for hardenable material such as proteins, hydrophilic colloids and, more particularly, carboxyl-containing polymers such as gelatin and compositions comprising gelatin.
It is another object to provide hardening compounds useful in photography and for incorporating into photographic elements, which compounds do not possess photographic properties substantially more adverse than known hardeners or cause the harmful physiological effects of prior compounds.
Yet another object of this invention is to provide certain vinylsulfonyl compounds possessing increased hardening activity as compared to known hardening compounds.
It is still another object of this invention to provide vinylsulfonyl hardening compounds having two vinyl-sulfonyalkyl groups attached to a singlelinking heteroatom, such as ether oxygen. or a tertiary or a quaternary nitrogen atom.
Other objects will become apparent from the following.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION atom chosen from nonmetals in Groups VA and VIA of the Periodic table, which atoms include, for example, oxygen and nitrogen and which atoms can be substituted or unsubstituted, for example, alkyl nitrogen and dialkyl nitrogen linking atoms and more particularly,
where each R is an alkyl group of one to four carbon atoms, and X is an anion such as, for example, C H,So ClO,-, CH OSO and the like.
In practicing this invention in one of its aspects these hardening compounds are conveniently incorporated into photographic gelatin emulsions and layers thereof in order to provide needed hardening without substantially affecting photographic sensitivity adversely. These new hardening compounds can be effectively used'in various concentrations for hardening purposes although a preferred suitable hardening concentration is generally in the range of from about 0.1 to 10 percent and more preferably about 0.5 to 6 percent by weight, based on the hardenable material such as the hydrophilic colloid.
As illustrated by the following examples, the hardeners described herein are particularly effective in color photography when combined with color couplers. Their use results in reducing the staining characteristics usually exhibited by multiple layer photographic silver halide systems containing a color coupler and hydrophilic colloid layers. Such layers generally comprise hardenable carboxyl-containing polymers, for example, gelatin, vinyl polymers, or mixtures thereof. Suitable carboxyl-containing polymers are film-forming and suitable vinyl polymers are exemplified by methyl acrylateacrylic acid polymer, butyl-acrylate-acrylic acid polymer and the like.

The bis vinylsulfonylalkyl-type compounds disclosed herein are effectively used in combination with hardenable materials generally, but find particular use in photography for hardening various proteins, like hydrophilic colloid coating compositions, binders, vehicles and the like, including photographic gelatin emulsions and layers. These layers can take the form of interlayers, overcoats, antihalation layers, silver halide emulsion layers and the like. By photographic gelatin emulsions is meant various gelatin derivatives and physical mixtures of gelatin and other colloids. These include gelatin mixtures of synthetic polymers exemplified by copolymers of methyl acrylate and acrylic acid or butyl acrylate and acrylic acid and the like. The compounds disclosed herein can be conveniently added either in solution or as addition salts to the emulsion or other substance to be hardened.
The reactions for preparing the compounds of this invention are conducted in the at moderate temperatures and the reactions are not solely pressure dependent, and consequently, superatmospheric or subatmospheric pressures can be employed. As is obvious to one skilled in the art, the specific reaction conditions, for example, temperature, pressure, and the like depend upon the particular reactants used.
The compounds described in this application can be used effectively in combination with hardenable materials in general, but they are most advantageously used with natural or synthetic polymers used as vehicles or binders in preparing photographic elements. Specific materials which can be hardened according to the practice of this invention include hardenable materials such as polymers, for example, gelatin, colloidal albumin, acid or water-soluble vinyl polymers, cellulose derivatives, proteins, various polyacrylamides, dispersed polymerized vinyl compounds, particularly those which increase the dimensional stability of photographic materials as exemplified by amine-containing polymers of alkyl acrylates, methacrylates, acrylic acid, sulfoalkyl acrylates or methacrylates, maleic acid, and the like.

Pat. No. 3,l28,l80 issued Apr. 7, I964.
The emulsions hardened by our new compounds can be used in photographic elements intended for color photography and thus can contain color-forming couplers or used as emulsions to be developed by solutions containing couplers or other color-generating materials or emulsions of the mixedpacket type.
