Description

trans-Stilbene is used in the manufacturing of dye lasers, optical brighteners, non-steroidal synthetic estrogens such as diethylstilbestrol, fosfestrol and dienestrol. It is used as a phosphor and a scintillator. It is also involved in transition metal catalyzed asymmetric epoxidation and dihydroxylation. Further, it is used as raw material in organic synthesis.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
