General description

2-Ethyl-9,10-dimethoxyanthracene (EDMA) has been reported as a potential anthracene photosensitizer for diaryliodonium and triarylsulfonium 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.

Application

2-Ethyl-9,10-dimethoxyanthracene (EDA) has been used as sensitizer and its photoinduced (fluorescence quenching) reaction with 4-cyanobenzyl chloride has been studied.
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.

It has been shown recently that the electrochemical reduction of carbon tetrachloride in N,N'-dimethylformamide follows a mechanism in which electron transfer and bond cleavage are concerted. We report here results concerning photoinduced electron transfer from the singlet excited state of
