(57) [Summary] [Purpose] An image is formed in the presence of a coupler that has a high dye formation rate, high color density, and forms a robust dye, thereby improving the sharpness and sensitivity of a color photographic light-sensitive material. Achieve high robustness. [Structure] A coupler of the following general formula is contained in at least one hydrophilic colloid layer on a support of a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material. General formula: R 1 OCOCHXCONR 2 R 3 R 1 : branched or cyclic alkyl, aryl, or heterocycle R 2 : hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, or heterocycle R 3 : alkyl, aryl, or heterocycle X: aromatic The groups R 2 and R 3 which are released as anions when reacted with the oxidized primary group amine developer may be linked to each other to form a ring. |
