Coumarin is a fragrant organic compound that is moderately soluble in water (about 0.1 g/100 mL at room temperature). Its solubility is enhanced by the presence of polar solvents like ethanol and acetone. This is due to the presence of a carbonyl group (C=O) in its structure, which can participate in hydrogen bonding with water molecules.
