A novel cyan coupler, 2-(4-cyanophenyl) ureido-5-{4- [ 4-(2, 4-ditert-pentyl-phenoxy) butyryl amido] benzene acetamido } phenol (Cp-DY), was prepared from 2-amino-5-nitrophenol.The structure of the cyan coupler was determined by IR, UV, 1H NMR, MS and elemental analysis. Some basic photographic properties of the coupler were examined.
