Product Information

• Name: trans-4-Chlorostilbene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Trans-4-chlorostilbene is a debromination agent that has been used to enhance the production of epoxides. It is an isomer of stilbene, which is a bicyclic molecule with two phenyl rings joined by a double bond. Trans-4-chlorostilbene belongs to the group of stereoselective agents, meaning that it reacts preferentially with one isomer over the other. This compound has a second-order rate constant for its reaction with epoxides and also undergoes thermal isomerization, which means that it changes from trans form to cis form when heated. Trans-4-chlorostilbene has acidic properties and can be used in both acidic and neutral pH environments. This compound also reacts with boric acid to create boron complexes and reacts with water molecules to produce hydrogen gas, although it does not react with air or oxygen.
