{{Short description|Chemical compound}} [[File:Tyrosol.svg|thumb|right|Tyrosol, a simple phenylethanoid.]] '''Phenylethanoids''' are a type of phenolic compounds characterized by a phenethyl alcohol structure. Tyrosol and hydroxytyrosol are examples of such compounds.

Verbascoside and echinacoside are phenylethanoid and phenylpropanoid hybrids forming ester bonds with sugars.
