5-Hydroxyferulic acid

See also: Hydroxycinnamic acids / Phenylpropanoids

5-Hydroxyferulic acid is a hydroxycinnamic acid and a metabolite of the phenylpropanoid pathway. It's also known as:

• Trans-5-hydroxyferulate
• 3-(3,4-dihydroxy-5-methoxy)-2-propenoic acid

5-Hydroxyferulic acid is a precursor in the biosynthesis of sinapic acid. It's formed from ferulic acid by the enzyme ferulate 5-hydroxylase (F5H).
