• Isomerising metathesis is introduced as a sustainable method to produce dihydroxystilbene derivatives from eugenol, a clove oil ingredient, and cardanol from cashew nut shell liquid. Hydrogenation of the dihydroxystilbenes provided their di(hydroxyphenyl)ethane analogues. Initial studies to convert these monomers into polycarbonates and thiol-ene polymers support their potential to replace the petrol-derived bisphenol A (BPA). The estrogenic activity of the monomers derived from cardanol was found to be in the same range as that of BPA, a known endocrine disruptor. In contrast, eugenol-derived materials were found to be non-estrogenic, opening up new perspectives for bio-based food packaging materials.
