✦ Synopsis

Much attention has hitherto given to the generation of stilbene because of its synthetic value in the manufacture of dyestuffs, pharmaceuticals, and organic intermediates. Sometime ago, Y. Fujiwara, I. Moritani, M. Matsuda, and S. Teranishi'), and R. S. Shue') reported the synthesis of stilbene from the olefin arylation of benzene with styrene in the presene of palladium(I1) compounds; and P. B. Venuto and P. S. Landis 3) , from the reaction of benzyl-type mercaptans over zeolites. In this communication, however, a simple synthetic
