Used in organic synthesis as a building block for pharmaceuticals and functional materials. Acts as a protecting group reagent for alcohols and amines due to the stability and selective deprotection of the carbamate linkage. Employed in the development of fluorescent probes and dyes, leveraging the anthracene moiety's strong photophysical properties. Also explored in the design of enzyme inhibitors and bioactive molecules where the diethylcarbamate group can modulate solubility and binding characteristics.
