(E)-Stilbene, commonly known as trans-stilbene, is an organic compound represented by the condensed structural formula C6H5CH=CHC6H5. Classified as a diarylethene, it features a central ethylene moiety with one phenyl group substituent on each end of the carbon–carbon double bond. It has an (E) stereochemistry, meaning that the phenyl groups are located on opposite sides of the double bond, the opposite of its geometric isomer, cis-stilbene. Trans-stilbene occurs as a white crystalline solid at room temperature and is highly soluble in organic solvents. It can be converted to cis-stilbene photochemically, and further reacted to produce phenanthrene.
Stilbene was discovered in 1843 by the French chemist Auguste Laurent.Laurent Auguste Mémoire sur la série stilbique Comptes rendus 1843 16 856–860 https://books.google.com/books?id=hzEt49manA8C&pg=PA167 Memoir on the stilbene series French From p. 857: "En soumettant ce sulfure à la distillation, il donne plusieurs produits, et entre autres, un composé fort remarquable que je nomme stilbène."
(On submitting this sulfide [i.e., phenyl thioaldehyde, C6H5(CS)H] to [dry] distillation, it gives several products, and among others, a very remarkable compound which I name "stilbene".) The name "stilbene" is derived from the Greek word στίλβω (stilbo), which means "I shine", on account of the lustrous appearance of the compound.Miller William Allen Elements of Chemistry: Theoretical and Practical 1880 Longmans, Green and Co. London, England 366 3 5th https://books.google.com/books?id=H4kMAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA366
Isomers
center|400px|thumb|The isomerization of stilbene under the influence of radiation.
Stilbene exists as two possible stereoisomers. One is trans-1,2-diphenylethylene, called (E)-stilbene or trans-stilbene. The second is cis-1,2-diphenylethylene, called (Z)-stilbene or cis-stilbene, and is sterically hindered and less stable because the steric interactions force the aromatic rings out-of-plane and prevent conjugation.Eliel Ernest L. Wilen Samuel H. Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds https://archive.org/details/stereochemistryo0000elie_a9t3 registration 1994 John Wiley and Sons 0-471-01670-5 566-567 Cis-stilbene is a liquid at room temperature (melting point: 5 – 6 C), while trans-stilbene is a crystalline solid which does not melt until around 125 C, illustrating the two isomers have significantly different physical properties.

Preparation and reactions
Many syntheses have been developed. One popular route entails reduction of benzoin using zinc amalgam. R. L. Shriner Alfred Berger trans-Stilbene 1943 23 86 10.15227/orgsyn.023.0086 CV3P0786 3 786
C6H5–CH(OH)–C(=O)–C6H5 ->[\ce{Zn(Hg)}][\ce{HCl} \text{, } \ce{CH3CH2OH}] trans-C6H5–CH=CH–C6H5
Both isomers of stilbene can be produced by decarboxylation of α-phenylcinnamic acid, trans-stilbene being produced from the (Z)-isomer of the acid.

Stilbene undergoes reactions typical of alkenes. Trans-stilbene undergoes epoxidation with peroxymonophosphoric acid, H3PO5, producing a 74% yield of trans-stilbene oxide in dioxane. Oxidation of trans-stilbene with peroxymonophosphoric acid Yoshiro Ogata Kohtaro Tomizawa Toshiyuki Ikeda J. Org. Chem. 1979 44 14 2362–2364 10.1021/jo01328a006 The epoxide product formed is a racemic mixture of the two enantiomers of 1,2-diphenyloxirane. The achiral meso compound (1R,2S)-1,2-diphenyloxirane arises from cis-stilbene, though peroxide epoxidations of the cis-isomer produce both cis- and trans-epoxide products. For example, using tert-butyl hydroperoxide, oxidation of cis-stilbene produces 0.8% cis-stilbene oxide, 13.5% trans-stilbene oxide, and 6.1% benzaldehyde.

Natural stilbenes
The stilbenoids are naturally occurring stilbene derivatives. Examples include resveratrol and its cousin, pterostilbene. The stilbestrols, which are structurally but not synthetically related to (E)-stilbene, exhibit estrogenic activity. Members of this group include diethylstilbestrol, fosfestrol, and dienestrol. Some such derivative are produced by condensation of coenzyme A derivatives of cinnamic acid or 4-hydroxycinnamic acid and the malonic acid.
