cinnamic alcohol

Cinnamic alcohol was discovered only in the sample from Bulgaria.

Lignans are found in many plants and are formed from the dimerization of cinnamic alcohols.

Cinnamic alcohols are phenolic compounds derived from phenylalanine, an amino acid.

Plant lignans are polyphenolic substances derived from phenylalanine via dimerization of substituted cinnamic alcohols (see cinnamic acid), known as monolignols, to a dibenzylbutane skeleton 2.
