5 Claims. 1 Drawing Figure Additional substituents of the type commonly used in the sensitizing carbocyanine dye art may also be present on the benzthiazole or benzselenazole nuclei. The presence and identity of these additional substituents is not of particular importance to the invention, the critical elements of the compound being the S-acetylamino substituent and the N-sulfoalkyl group on the opposite heterocyclic nucleus; provided, however, that the N- substituent on the heterocyclic nucleus carrying the 5- acetylamino group may not be sulfoalkyl. Further, the trimethine chain linking the heterocyclic nuclei may be meso-substituted preferably with a lower alkyl group having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms or an aralkyl group (e.g. phenethyl). The nature of the substituents commonly used in the sensitizing carbocyanine dye art and preparation of carbocyanine dyes bearing such substituents is well known to those skilled in the art and is set forth, for example, in The Cyanine Dyes and Related Compounds by Frances M. Hamer (lnterscience Publishers, I964) as well as in US. Pat. No. 2,503,776 and German Pat. Nos. 929,080 and 1,072,765.

SPECTRALLY SENSITIZED SILVER HALIDE PHOTOGRAPHIC EMULSION CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is a continuation-in-part application of Ser. No. 182,505, filed Sept. 2l, 1971, now abandoned, by Akira Sato et al., for spectrally Sensitized Silver Halide Photographic Emulsion.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a silver halide photographic emulsion containing sensitizing dyes, and more particularly to a silver halide emulsion having a high red sensitivity in the range from 635 mg to 665 my.
2. Description of the Prior Art In the art for the manufacture of silver halide photographic emulsions, it is well known that the addition of sensitizing dyes to a silver halide photographic emulsion extends the sensitive wave length region of the emulsion resulting in a spectrally sensitized emulsion. The spectral sensitization depends often on the chemical structure of the sensitizing dye and, above all, the maximum sensitizing peak caused by the J-band is apt to be affected by the chemical structure and introduced substituent of the sensitizing dye. Accordingly, for highly sensitizing a desired sensitive wave length region of a photographic sensitive material, it is thought that CH CH wherein Z and Z' each represents a sulfur or selenium atom; W represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, such as chlorine, bromine, a lower alkyl group, preferably having up to 4 carbon atoms, such as methyl, butyl, etc., or a lower alkoxy group, such as methoxy, ethoxy etc.; and R represents a -y-sulfopropyl, 'y-sulfobutyl or 8-sulfobutyl group.
The sensitizing dyes of the invention are apt to form the J -band and in particular, are useful in increasing the sensitivity in the range from 635 mp. to 665 mp.
Typical chemical structures of the sensitizing dyes of the present invention are shown as follows, but they are Nncocn 2 5 the selection of the proper sensitizing dye is a practically important technique.

With reference to, for example, US. Pat. No. 2,503,776 and German Pat. Nos. 929,080 and 1,072,765, those skilled in the art can synthesize them readily.
An example for the preparation of a typical sensitizing dye of the general formula (I) is described as follows:
SYNTHESIS OF DYE 3 One gram of 5-methyl-3-(7-sulfopropyl)-2-thioproponylmethylene-benzothiazoline is reacted with l g of methyl p-toluene sulfonate at llO-l20C for 2 hours with heating and then treated with ethyl ether to yield a methyl thiocarbinol compound. 1.1 g of 5- acetylarnino-3-ethyl-2-methylbenzothiazolium p-toluene sulfonate is added thereto and dissolved in 160 ml of ethanol, 2 ml of further triethylamine are added and the whole is heated for 3 hours under reflux. After the completion of reaction, the solvent is distilled off and treated with ethyl ether and then with acetone to yield coarse crystals of Dye 3. The coarse crystals are recrystallized from a mixed solvent of chloroform/methanol to yield 500 mg of Dye 3; mp: 296.5C, k 562 mp.
Other sensitizing dyes can be obtained by a synthesis method similar to the process as mentioned above.
The sensitizing dyes used in this invention can spectrally sensitize a silver halide photographic emulsion. In particular, it is effective for extending the spectral sensitive region of gelatin silver halide photographic emulsions.

For the preparation of the sensitized photographic emulsion according to this invention, it is enough to add one or more sensitizing dyes to a photographic emulsion in a common manner. in practice, it is convenient to dissolve the dye in a suitable solvent such as methanol or ethanol and add as a solvent to the emulsion. The amount of said sensitizing dye contained in the emulsion can be varied within a wide range of 5-200 mg/Kg emulsion corresponding to the effect to be desired.
The photographic emulsion of this invention can be further subjected to a hyperor super-sensitization according to a known method.
In the preparation of the photographic emulsion of this invention, additives which are used conventionally, for example, chemical sensitizers, stabilizers, toners, hardeners, surface active agents, anti-foggants, plasticizers, development accelerators, color developers and fluorescent brightening agents can be further added to the emulsion in a common manner.
The photographic emulsion of this invention can be coated onto a suitable support, for example, glass; films of cellulose derivatives, films of synthetic resins, Baryta paper, resin-coated paper and synthetic paper in a common manner.
