n-(p-hydroxy-β-phenylethyl)-p-hydroxy-(trans)-cinnamide

N-Trans-Coumaroyltyramine or N-(p-Hydroxyphenyl)ethyl p-hydroxycinnamide is also known as paprazine, N-trans-paprazine or trans-N-p-coumaroyl tyramine. It belongs to the class of organic compounds known as coumaric acids and derivatives. It is also classified as a hydroxycoumaric acid. Coumaric acids are aromatic compounds containing a cinnamic acid moiety (or a derivative thereof) hydroxylated at the C2 (ortho-), C3 (meta-), or C4 (para-) carbon atom of the benzene ring. There are two isomers of paprazine, N-trans-paprazine and N-cis-paprazine. Paprazine is a neutral, hydrophobic molecule that is largely insoluble in water. Paprazine is one of the compounds that have been identified in hempseed (Cannabis sativa) (https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-59259-947-9_2).
