Biobased materials, derived from biomass building blocks, are essential in the pursuit of sustainable materials. Eugenol, a natural phenol obtained from clove oil, but also from lignin depolymerization, possesses a chemical structure that allows its easy modification to obtain a broad and versatile platform of biobased monomers. In this Perspective, an overview of the variety of reactions that have been executed on the allylic double bond, phenol hydroxyl group, aromatic ring, and methoxy group is given, focusing our attention on those to obtain monomers suitable for different polymerization reactions. Furthermore, possible applications and perspectives on the eugenol-derived materials are provided.

丁香酚，具有尖端特性的生物基聚合物的有前途的基石

源自生物质积木的生物基材料对于追求可持续材料至关重要。丁香酚是一种从丁香油中获得的天然酚，也从木质素解聚中获得，其化学结构使其易于修饰以获得广泛而通用的生物基单体平台。在这个观点中，概述了在烯丙基双键、酚羟基、芳环和甲氧基上进行的各种反应，将我们的注意力集中在获得适合不同聚合反应的单体上。此外，还提供了丁香酚衍生材料的可能应用和前景。
