Coumarin
CAS 91-64-5
A closer look at Coumarin: the structure tells the story.
Coumarin: coumarin's sweet hay-like odor helped shape synthetic perfumery, while derivatives of the same benzopyrone scaffold later produced very different biology such as 4-hydroxycoumarin anticoagulants. This is exactly the kind of case where a structural formula becomes a story about behavior.
