Making Paranaphalene ?

Curious if anyone here knows how to manufacture an organic scintallator called Paranaphalene... also known as Anthracene/ green oil. this stuff is used in high quality scintillators for particle detection.
Any suggestions? I don't like ZnS and find it breaks down after a while. I was informed to go organic due to the high performance of the material in question.
