Silver halide light-sensitive photographic material containing a novel yellow coupler

A silver halide light-sensitive photographic material comprising a support and, provided thereon, at least one silver halide emulsion layer containing a dye-forming coupler wherein said dye-forming coupler is one represented by Formula [IV]:

• ##STR127## wherein, R.sub.1 is an alkyl group or a cycloalkyl group;
• R.sub.2 is an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an acyl group or an aryl group;
• R.sub.3 is a group which is substitutable to a benzene ring, n is 0 or 1;
• J is a ##STR128## wherein R.sub.5 is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group or a heterocyclic group;
• R.sub.7 is an unsubstituted alkylene group that can be branched or unbranched;
• R.sub.8 is an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group or a heterocyclic group X.sub.2 is a group capable of being split off upon reaction with the oxidation product of a color developing agent;
• and P is a linkage group selected from the group consisting of a --COO-- group, a --SO--.sub.2 group, a --NCO-- group, a --CON-- group, ##STR129## in which R and R' each is independently a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group or a heterocyclic group.
