coumarinrelated
Coumarin-related compounds are a class of organic molecules that are structurally related to coumarin, a lactone derivative of benzene-1,2-diol. Coumarin itself is a yellow-colored organic compound with a characteristic aroma, often described as a sweet, earthy, or musky scent. It is found in many plants, including tonka beans, tonka oil, and tonka beans oil, which is used in perfumery and as a flavoring agent.
