Heat-developable color light-sensitive material

Abstract

A heat-developable color light sensitive material comprising a support having thereon at least a light-sensitive silver halide, a binder, a non-diffusible compound capable of releasing a diffusible dye upon reduction, an electron donor compound and an electron transfer agent, said electron transfer agent being represented by formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4, which may be the same or different, each represents hydrogen, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group; R.sub.5 represents a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group; R.sub.6, R.sub.7, R.sub.8 and R.sub.9, which may be the same or different, each represents hydrogen, a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a carboxyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted amino group, a substituted or unsubstituted acyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxycarbonyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted acyloxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted carbamoyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted acylamino group, a substituted or unsubstituted sulfamoyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted sulfonamido group, a substituted or unsubstituted urethane group, a substituted or unsubstituted ureido group. The heat-developable color light-sensitive material provides an image having a superior S/N ratio and improved preservability over time.
