  <name>trans-o-Coumaric acid</name>
  <description>Occurs in many plants e.g. Melilotus officinalis (sweet clover)

Coumaric acid is a hydroxycinnamic acid, an organic compound that is a hydroxy derivative of cinnamic acid. There are three isomers, o-coumaric acid, m-coumaric acid, and p-coumaric acid, that differ by the position of the hydroxy substitution of the phenyl group. p-Coumaric acid is the most abundant isomer of the three in nature. trans-o-Coumaric acid is found in green vegetables.</description>
