We propose a platform approach for the synthesis of various building blocks from eugenol in one or two-steps syntheses. Eugenol, which is a natural phenol, is issued either from clove oil or lignin. Eugenol is non-toxic, exhibits anti-bacterial properties and is particularly suitable for the addition of aromatic renewable resources in polymers and materials. Various routes were used for the synthesis of di- and poly-functional building blocks used thereafter in polymer syntheses. Epoxidation was used to obtain both polyepoxide networks and flame-retardants additives. Alder-Ene reaction was used to obtain high thermally stable aromatic networks. Various (meth)acrylate monomers we also synthesized for radical aqueous emulsion polymerization. Reactive latex were obtained.
