Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to 1,3,4 -trisubstituted-5-oxo-2-pyrazoline salts in which the 4-position is substituted with a pyridine ring with the bonding being to the nitrogen atom of the pyridine ring and processes for producing the salts.

2. Description of the Prior Art

It is well-known that 1,3-disubstituted-5-oxo-2-pyrazolines are important compounds as magenta color-forming couplers for color photographic light-sensitive materials based on the subtractive process for color formation, and that these compounds are also useful as intermediates in preparing various medicines and dyes. For example, when a conventional color photographic silvr halide light-sensitive material containing a 1,3-disubstituted-5-oxo-2-pyrazoline is color developed, after exposure, the coupler couples with an oxidized para-phenylenediamine-type color developing agent to form a corresponding azomethine dye. It is well-known that such a 1,3-disubstituted-5-oxo-2-pyrazoline coupler theoretically requires for moles of silver halide as the oxidizing agent to form one mole of an azomethine dye in the color-forming coupling reaction. On the contrary, a 1,3,4-trisubstituted-5-oxo-2-pyrazoline having in the 4-position a substituent which is easily releasable on coupling with an oxidized color-developing agent can theoretically form one mole of dye using only two moles of silver halide.

For this reason, 5-oxo-2-pyrazolines having in the 4-position a releasable substituent or a precursor group which can provide a releasable substituent are particularly important compounds in the production of color photographic light-sensitive materials.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The 4-pyridinio- or 4-substituted pyridinio-5-oxo-2-pyrazolin-4-ide and 4-pyridinio- or 4-substituted pyridinio-5-oxo-2-pyrazoline salt provided according to the present invention are particularly useful as intermediates for photographic couplers. The pyridinio ring or substituted pyridinio ring of these compounds can be converted with an appropriate reduction to the corresponding piperidino ring or substituted piperidino ring which are easily releasable on color development as in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 455,094, filed Mar. 27, 1974.

Also, the 4-pyridinio- or 4-substituted pyridinio-5-oxo-2-pyrazolin-4-ide and 4-pyridino- or 4-substituted pyridinio-5-oxo-2-pyrazoline salts have a yellow to orange color hue, and thus can be utilized as dyes for various purposes.

Many kinds of 5-oxo-2-pyrazolines which have a substituent in the 4-position are known, for example, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,311,476. However, 1,3,4-trisubstituted-5-oxo-2-pyrazoline salts having a pyridinio group in the 4-position according to the present invention are novel compounds not described in any prior art patents or literature.

As a result of extensive investigation, 4-pyridinio salts of 5-oxo-2-pyrazolines have been developed, and these compounds can be prepared using the processes of the invention.

That is, in a first process a 1,3-disubstituted-5-oxo-2-pyrazoline represented by the following general formula (I): ##SPC10##

wherein R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom, a sulfamoyl group, or a group having 1 to about 40 carbon atoms, and R.sub.2 represents a hydrogen atom, a hydroxy group, an amino group, a sulfo group, or a group having 1 to about 45 carbon atoms, according to a method as described in, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,006,759 and 3,522,051, is halogenated using chlorine, bromine or iodine to prepare a 1,3-disubstituted-4-halo-5-oxo-2-pyrazoline represented by the following general formula (II): ##SPC11## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are the same as defined above: and X represents a chlorine atom, a bromine atom or an iodine atom. The compounds represented by the general formula (I) include well-known four equivalent pyrazolone magenta couplers. Representative examples of such compounds are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,127,269, 2,600,788, 3,062,653, 3,337,344, 3,558,319, etc.

Suitable halogenating agents which can be used in this step are halogens such as Cl.sub.2, Br.sub.2 and I.sub.2, sulfonyl chloride, N-chlorosuccinimide, N-bromosuccinimide, N-iodosuccinimide N-chlorobenzotriazole, etc. Suitably, the halogenating agents are used in an equimolar amount to the compound of the general formula (I), since the reaction is best controlled. An equivalent amount of the halogenating agent in excess of 1 mole is not preferred since undesired positions are halogenated. Generally, reaction temperatures in this step can range from about -10.degree. to 50.degree.C, preferably 0.degree. to 20.degree.C. The reaction is generally conducted in a solvent. Suitable solvents are protic solvents such as carboxylic acid-type solvents e.g., acetic acid, and aprotic solvents can also be used such as non-polar solvents, e.g., chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, methylene chloride, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, etc. The amount of the solvents to be employed is generally about 10% by volume per weight of the compound of the general formula (I). After the reaction has been completed, the solvent is evaporated to dryness. The thus obtained 1,3-di-substituted-4-halogeno-5-oxo-2-pyrazoline (II) is sufficiently pure to be used, but if desired it can be recrystallized from suitable solvents. Where acetic acid is used as a solvent, the reaction mixture can be poured into ice-water and then filtered. The solid product is dried and recrystallized for recovery. The resulting 1,3-disubstituted-4-halo-5-oxo-2-pyrazoline of the general formula (II) is then reacted with an N-heteroaromatic compound represented by the following general formula (III): ##SPC12##

wherein R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 each represents a hydrogen atom, a hydroxy group, a halogen atom, an amino group, a sulfonamido group, a sulfo group, or an alkyl group, an aralkyl group, an alkoxy group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an aryloxy group, a carboxy group, a carbonamido group, a carbamoyl group, an acylamido group, an alkylsulfonamido group, an arylsulfonamido group, an alkylamino group or an arylamino group each having 1 to 20 carbon atoms or R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 can combine to form an aliphatic ring, an aromatic ring or a heterocyclic ring.

In this step of the synthesis a suitable molar ratio of the compound of the general formula (II) to the compound of the general formula (III) can suitably range from about 1:2 to 1:20, by weight, preferably 1:4 to 1:10. Suitable temperature ranges for conducting this step of the synthesis are of from about 10.degree. to 100.degree.C, preferably 20.degree. to 60.degree.C. The reaction can be conducted in the absence of a solvent since the compound of the general formula (III) per se acts as a solvent. In such a case the compound of the general formula (III) is used in an amount of about 5 to 50% by weight to the total weight of the reactants (II + III). However, solvents, e.g., alcohols such as methanol or ethanol, benzene, acetonitrile, chloroform, etc., can, of course, be effectively used. In this case the solvent is suitably employed in an amount of from about 20 to 500 ml per 10 g of the compound of the general formula (II). When the reaction of this step is conducted in the absence of a solvent, the product is extracted from the reaction mixture using a suitable solvent such as diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, chloroform, etc., washed with water, dried and recrystallized. Where the reaction is conducted using a solvent, the solvent is evaporated. After extracting with a suitaable solvent such as diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, chloroform, etc., the extract is dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent is evaporated off to obtain the product, which can be recrystallized, if desired.

According to this process, the 4-halo-5-oxo-2-pyrazoline which is obtained from the 5-oxo-2-pyrazoline need not be isolated in a pure state. That is, when a desired N-heteroaromatic compound is reacted with the crude 4-halogenated product under heating, a 4-N-heteroaromatic ylide of the 5-oxo-2-pyrazoline can be isolated at this stage with ease as yellow crystals without any loss, since the resulting ylide has an extremely low solubility.

A second process comprises heating a 5-oxo-2-pyrazoline represented by the general formula (I) and a N-heteroaromatic compound represented by the general formula (III) in the presence of an equimolar amount of a halogen based on the amount of the 5-oxo-2-pyrazoline represented by the general formula (I). Preferred halogens are bromine and iodine. This reaction can be conducted in the presence of a solvent, e.g., alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, etc., acetonitrile, chloroform, benzene, or the like. The solvent is generally used in an amount of about 20 to about 500 ml, preferably 50 to 100 ml, to about 10 g of the compound of the general formula (I). The reaction temperatures generally range from about 20.degree. to about 200.degree.C, preferably while heating to reflux on a steam bath. An advantage of this process is that the process is particularly suitable for applying to a 5-oxo-2-pyrazoline in which there is a tendency for two halogen atoms to be introduced into the 4position when the 5-oxo-2-pyrazoline is halogenated by the first process.

In these two processes described above, prolonged heating of the reaction mixture is sufficient to consume the starting material, the 5-oxo-2-pyrazoline of the general formula (II), completely, and therefore, isolating the remaining starting materials is unnecessary. These reactions can be followed by TLC in order to determine the complete consumption of the starting materials, and the reaction and its progress can be controlled in this manner.

Under usual conditions, the product is obtained as an inner salt (an N-heteroaromatic ylide type) represented by the following general formula (IVa) or (IVb): ##SPC13##

wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, and R.sub.5 are the same as defined above. The above compounds of the general formulae (IVa) and (IVb) are tautomeric forms. However, in some cases, a corresponding hydrogen halide salt thereof represented by the following general formula ##SPC14## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and X are the same as defined above, is present in the product. The inner salt represented by the general formula (IVa) or (IVb) and the hydrogen halide salt represented by the general formula (V) can be converted into each other or alternatively into the salt represented by the general formula (VI) by well-known anion conversion methods.
