2-Ethyl-9,10-dimethoxyanthracene may be employed as photosensitizer, to accelerate the photopolymerization. It may be employed as photosensitizer for enhancing the polymerization of benzothiazolium salts.
2-Ethyl-9,10-dimethoxyanthracene is reported to possess antihistaminic activity. Photoinduced electron transfer from the singlet excited state of 2-ethyl-9,10-dimethoxyanthracene to CCl4 has been reported. The photosensitized reductions of 4-cyanobenzylmethylphenyl sulfonium tetrafluoroborate by 2-ethyl-9,10-dimethoxyanthracene excited singlet state is reported to yield phenyl methyl sulfide.
