Abstract
There is described a process for synthesizing a thiacyanine dye wherein a 2-halo, 2-alkoxy or 2-aryloxybenzothiazole is alkylated by a strong alkylating agent to form a quaternized benzothiazole which, without being isolated, is condensed with a benzothiazolium betaine in a nonaqueous homogeneous medium. The thiacyanine dye is useful for enhancing the photosensitivity of a blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion.
