'''(''E'')-Stilbene''', commonly known as '''''trans''-stilbene''', is an [[organic compound]] represented by the [[Structural formula#Condensed formulas|condensed structural formula]] C{{sub|6}}H{{sub|5}}CH=CHC{{sub|6}}H{{sub|5}}. Classified as a [[diarylethene]], it features a central [[ethylene]] [[moiety (chemistry)|moiety]] with one [[phenyl]] group [[substituent]] on each end of the carbon&ndash;carbon [[double bond]]. It has an [[(E)|(''E'')]] stereochemistry, meaning that the phenyl groups are located on opposite sides of the double bond, the opposite of its [[geometric isomer]], [[cis-stilbene|''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 [[photochemistry|photochemically]], and further reacted to produce [[phenanthrene]].

Stilbene was discovered in 1843 by the French chemist [[Auguste Laurent]].<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Laurent|first1=Auguste|title=Mémoire sur la série stilbique|journal=Comptes rendus|date=1843|volume=16|pages=856–860|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hzEt49manA8C&pg=PA167|trans-title=Memoir on the stilbene series|language=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, C{{sub|6}}H{{sub|5}}(CS)H] to [dry] distillation, it gives several products, and among others, a very remarkable compound which I name "stilbene".)</ref> The name "stilbene" is derived from the [[Greek language|Greek]] word ''στίλβω'' (''stilbo''), which means "I shine", on account of the lustrous appearance of the compound.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Miller|first1=William Allen|title=Elements of Chemistry: Theoretical and Practical|date=1880|publisher=Longmans, Green and Co.|location=London, England|page=366|volume=3|edition=5th|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=H4kMAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA366}}</ref>

==Isomers==

[[File:Cis-trans-stilbene.svg|center|400px|thumb|The isomerization of stilbene under the influence of radiation.]]

Stilbene exists as two possible [[stereoisomer]]s. One is ''trans''-1,2-diphenylethylene, called (''E'')-stilbene or ''[[Cis-trans isomerism|trans]]''-stilbene. The second is ''cis''-1,2-diphenylethylene, called [[(Z)-Stilbene|(''Z'')-stilbene]] or ''[[Cis-trans isomerism|cis]]''-stilbene, and is [[sterically hindered]] and less stable because the steric interactions force the aromatic rings out-of-plane and prevent [[Conjugated system|conjugation]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Eliel |first1=Ernest L. |last2=Wilen |first2=Samuel H. |title=Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds |url=https://archive.org/details/stereochemistryo0000elie_a9t3 |url-access=registration |date=1994 |publisher=John Wiley and Sons |isbn=0-471-01670-5 |pages=[https://archive.org/details/stereochemistryo0000elie_a9t3/page/566 566]-567}}</ref> ''Cis''-stilbene is a liquid at room temperature (melting point: {{convert|5|–|6|C}}), while ''trans''-stilbene is a crystalline solid which does not melt until around {{convert|125|C}}, illustrating the two isomers have significantly different physical properties.<ref name = OrgSynthCis>{{OrgSynth|first1 = Robert E.|last1 = Buckles|first2 = Norris G.|last2 = Wheeler|title = ''cis''-Stilbene|year = 1953|volume = 33|pages = 88|doi = 10.15227/orgsyn.033.0088|prep = CV4P0857|collvol = 4|collvolpages = 857}}</ref><ref name = OrgSynthTrans />

===Natural stilbenes===

The [[stilbenoid]]s are naturally occurring stilbene derivatives. Examples include [[resveratrol]] and its cousin, [[pterostilbene]]. The [[stilbestrol]]s, which are structurally but not synthetically related to (''E'')-stilbene, exhibit [[estrogen]]ic 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|4-hydroxycinnamic acid]] and the malonic acid.
