Silver halide photographic material

A silver halide photographic material comprising at least one silver halide emulsion layer on a support, characterized in that the emulsion layer and/or another hydrophilic colloid layer contains a compound represented by general formula (I):

• ##STR44## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each represents a hydrogen atom, aliphatic group, aromatic group or heterocyclic group, with the proviso that R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 may be connected to each other to form a ring;
• L represents a divalent linking group;
• V represents a carbonyl group, ##STR45## group, sulfonyl group, sulfoxy group, ##STR46## group (in which R.sub.0 represents an alkoxy group or aryloxy group), iminomethylene group or thiocarbonyl group;
• Time represents divalent linking group;
• m represents an integer 0 or 1;
• n represents an integer 0 or 1;
• PUG represents a fog inhibitor, development inhibitor, development accelerator, fogging agent, coupler, coupler-releasing coupler, diffusive dye, nondiffusive dye, desilvering accelerator, desilvering inhibitor, silver halide solvent, competitive compound, developing agent, auxiliary developing agent, fixing accelerator, fixing inhibitor, image stabilizer, toner, processing dependency improver, dot improver, dye stabilizer, photographic dye, surface active agent, film hardener, ultraviolet absorbent, fluorescent brightening agent, desensitizer, contrast improver, chelating agent or DIR hydroquinone;
• and X represents an atomic group required to form a 5- or 6-membered ring with ##STR47##
