Appeal No. 95-2765 Application 08/025,474 APPENDIX 1. A method of accelerating image formation during black and white development of a negative type silver halide photographic element comprising the steps of: exposing said negative type silver halide photographic element to actinic radiation; and contacting said negative-type silver halide photographic element during processing with a developer prebath or a developer bath comprising an accelerator compound of the formula: wherein R is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 from 1 to 28 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group having from 1 to 28 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group having from 3 to 28 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having from 6 to 33 carbon atoms, an alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, alkoxyalkyl, aryl, or phenoxy group, connecting to a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, having 6 to 33 carbon atoms, or an alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, alkoxyalkyl, aryl, or phenoxy group connecting to a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic ring containing two or more heteroatoms having 1 to 25 carbon atoms; R is a substituted or unsubstituted amine group having 2 from 0 to 25 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having from 1 to 28 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsub- stituted alkenyl group having from 1 to 28 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group from 3 to 28 carbon - A1 -Page: Previous 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
