Applications:
1. Phenanthrene can be oxidized to phenanthraquinone; the resulting diphenic acid can be used to produce polyester resins and alkyd resins;
2. Oxidation of phenanthrene can also yield phthalic anhydride, cyclohexanone, and phenol;
3. In papermaking, phenanthrene can be used as a pulp anti-fogging agent; in pharmaceuticals, it can be used to synthesize alkaloids;
4. In the dye industry, phenanthrene can be used to produce 2-aminoanthraquinone, benzanthrone, and sulfur vat dyes (Blue BO, Black BB, and brown);
5. Phenanthrene can be hydrogenated under high temperature and pressure to produce hydro-phenanthrene, a fuel for advanced jet aircraft.
