Application

9-Anthracenecarboxylic acid can be used as a starting material to synthesize:
  • 9-Cyanoanthracene by reacting with cyanohydrins in the presence of a palladium catalyst.
  • 6-Chloro-8-(9-anthracenyl)-9H-purine by Ag/SiO2 catalyzed reaction one-pot reaction with 6-chloro-4,5-pyrimidinediamine.

It can also be used as a cross-linking agent to functionalize organic second-order nonlinear optical materials to enhance poling efficiency and temporal stability.
