The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of aromatic derivatives of trans-cinnamic acid. The chemical reactions and pathways involving aromatic derivatives of trans-cinnamic acid. The chemical reactions and pathways involving lignans, any member of a class of plant metabolites related to lignins. Lignans are usually found as phenylpropanoid dimers in which the phenylpropanoid units are linked tail to tail and thus having a 2,3 dibenzylbutane skeleton, but higher oligomers can also exist. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of compounds derived from amino acids, organic acids containing one or more amino substituents. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of aromatic compounds, any substance containing an aromatic carbon ring. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of lignans, any member of a class of plant metabolites related to lignins. Lignans are usually found as phenylpropanoid dimers in which the phenylpropanoid units are linked tail to tail and thus having a 2,3 dibenzylbutane skeleton, but higher oligomers can also exist.
