The phytoalexin 3,5,40-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene (resveratrol) has attracted considerable attention from biologists and chemists due to its diverse biological properties. Owing to the biological importance of this compound, we have synthesized new stilbene-based analogues by using substituted benzyl chlorides and substituted aldehydes in a two-step reaction and evaluated their in vitro antioxidant, antibacterial and antifungal potential. Most of the compounds displayed moderate to significant radical scavenging activity. (E)-1-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-2-(4-fluorophenyl) ethene (4c) showed nearer equipotent antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. (E)-1,2-bis (4-fluorophenyl)ethene (4a), (E)-1-(3-fluorophenyl)-2-(4-fluorophenyl)ethene (4b), (E)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(3, 4-dichlorophenyl)ethene (4f), (E)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(3-chlorophenyl)ethene (4g), (E)-1-(2,4- dichlorophenyl)-2-(4-fluorophenyl)ethene (4j) (E)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(3- chlorophenyl)ethene (4l) and (E)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(4-fluorophenyl)ethene (4n) inhibited the growth of Penicillium chrysogenum.

Stilbene derivates (stilbenoids) are present in plants and show a wide range of biological activities and potential therapeutic value. In continuation of our natural product synthesis program, an efficient, simple, and practical method has been developed to regioselectively synthesize (E)-stilbenes using H2SO4 as a catalyst in a short time (30-60 s) at room temperature in good to excellent yields.
