Abstract
A novel blocked photographically useful compound comprises a new blocking group that (a) comprises two electrophilic groups, the least electrophilic of which is bonded directly or through a timing group to the photographically useful group (PUG) of the compound, (b) is capable of reacting with a dinucleophile reagent, and (c) has the two electrophilic groups separated from each other by a bond or unsubstituted or substituted atom that enables nucleophilic displacement to occur with release of PUG when the compound is reacted with a dinucleophile reagent. Such a blocked photographically useful compound is useful in a photographic material and process to provide increased stability and enable more rapid release of the photographically useful group upon reaction with a dinucleophile reagent.
