General description

Photophysics and photochemistry of 2-ethylanthracene (2EA) adsorbed on silica has been studied at a silica/air interface[1].

Application

2-Ethylanthracene was used as photosensitizer during the photodissociation of p-nitrobenzyl esters of alkylsulphonic acids[2]. It was used in the synthesis of thioxanthone-2-ethyl anthracene[3].
