  <description>Trans-2,3-dehydroacyl-coa, also known as alpha,4-dihydroxybenzeneacetonitrile or para-hydroxymandelonitrile, is a member of the class of compounds known as 1-hydroxy-2-unsubstituted benzenoids. 1-hydroxy-2-unsubstituted benzenoids are phenols that a unsubstituted at the 2-position. Trans-2,3-dehydroacyl-coa is slightly soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Trans-2,3-dehydroacyl-coa can be found in sorghum, which makes trans-2,3-dehydroacyl-coa a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. Trans-2,3-dehydroacyl-coa may be a unique E.coli metabolite. </description>
