| Abstract: | Novel biorenewable bisphenols are obtained through simple and rapid chemical transformation of the natural product trans‐anethole. The corresponding dicyanate esters are thermally cured to give polycyanurate networks. The thermal properties from differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric, and dynamic thermomechanical analyses of the new dicyanate esters compare favorably with similar commercial products. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.?
