Can you stock phenylethylidenehydrazine (PEH)?

Have you looked into (E)-(1-phenylethylidene)hydrazine or similar compounds for sale already that I found on Google? Again, my knowledge of chemistry is limited, so I don’t know if any of these would function the same, but it seems promising from the fact that these are purchaseable. I just couldn’t find PEH specifically. If you want sources I can DM you. I don’t want to source on your subreddit lol.

You're probably talking about reference standard suppliers and chemical supply companies. The big guys can synthesize small amounts for reference standard purposes, like Sigma. However, you pay for it. It's usually 1,000% more cost than is feasible at scale. The smaller guys offer things sometimes, but don't actually have them. Finding a listing for something, and actually getting something delivered in your hand, are two totally different things. You can always PM me a source if you find it, but just know it likely might be BS. We run into it a LOT.
