Claims
- 1. A method for forming a color image which comprises heating a color light-sensitive material after or simultaneously with image-wise exposure of said material to light, wherein the color light-sensitive material comprises a support having thereon at least one light-sensitive silver halide-containing layer, a binder, a compound represented by formula (A), and a compound or precursor thereof which reacts with an oxidized compound formed from the compound of formula (A), thereby converting the oxidized compound into a non-diffusible form, said compound of formula (A) being represented by ##STR22## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, and R.sub.3 each represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group, an aralkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryloxy group, an acylamino group, an alkylthio group, an arylthio group, or a halogen atom, provided that at least one of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, and R.sub.3 represents a hydrogen atom; X represents a chemical bond or a divalent linking group; Dye represents an image-forming dye moiety; and G represents a hydroxyl group or a group capable of forming a hydroxyl group upon heating and/or by the action of a base, wherein the compound or precursor thereof which reacts with an oxidized compound formed from the compound of formula (A) is selected from the following compounds represented by formula Ia, (II), and (III) wherein said compound represented by formula (I) is represented by formula (I-a) ##STR23## wherein A represents an atomic group forming a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic or heterocyclic ring condensed with the benzene ring; M represents a hydrogen atom, an ammonium ion, or a metal ion; l represents 1 or 2; and m represents an integer of 1 or more; ##STR24## wherein R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic ring; R.sub.2 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted acyloxy group, or a substituted or unsubstituted sulfonyl group; R.sub.3 represents a hydrogen atom or a group which can be hydrolyzed, and R.sub.5 represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic ring; ##STR25## wherein Y represents an aliphatic group or an aromatic group; and Z represents an electron-attractive group; provided that at least one of Y and Z contains a non-diffusing group having from 16 to 30 carbon atoms.
- 2. A method as in claim 1, wherein in said compound represented by formula (II), the substituent or substituents represented by R.sub.5 have 3 or more total carbon atoms.
- 3. A method as in claim 1, wherein in said compound represented by formula (II), the substituent or substituents represented by R.sub.5 have 6 or more total carbon atoms.
- 4. A method as in claim 1, wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 each represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having up to 4 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having up to 4 carbon atoms, or an alkylthio group having up to 4 carbon atoms, X represents a chemical bond or a linking group selected from an alkylene group, --O--, --S--, ##STR26## --SO.sub.2, --NHCO--, --alkylene--NHCO--, alkylene--NHSO.sub.2 --, alkylene--SO.sub.2 NH--, alkylene--CONH--, --NHCONH--, ##STR27## Dye represents an image-forming dye moiety selected from an azo dye, an azomethine dye, an anthraquinone dye, a naphthoquinone dye, a styryl dye, a nitro dye, a quinoline dye, a carbonyl dye, a phthalocyanine dye, and a xanthene dye, and G is a hydroxyl group or a precursor thereof selected from trialkylsilyl ethers, carboxylic esters, carbonic esters, sulfonic esters, and phosphoric esters of a hydroxyl group.
- 5. A method as in claim 4, wherein in said compound represented by formula (II), the substituent or substituents represented by R.sub.5 have 3 or more total carbon atoms.
- 6. A method as in claim 4, wherein in said compound represented by formula (II), the substituent or substituents represented by R.sub.5 have 6 or more total carbon atoms.
- 7. A method as in claim 1, wherein the compound represented by formula (A) is contained in the color light-sensitive material in an amount ranging from 10 mg to 15 g per m.sup.2.
- 8. A method as in claim 4, wherein the compound represented by formula (A) is contained in the color light-sensitive material in an amount ranging from 10 mg to 15 g per m.sup.2.
- 9. A method as in claim 1, wherein the compound represented by formula (A) is contained in the color light-sensitive material in an amount ranging from 15 mg to 5 g per m.sup.2.
- 10. A method as in claim 4, wherein the compound represented by formula (A) is contained in the color light-sensitive material in an amount ranging from 15 mg to 5 g per m.sup.2.
