description

The HRP-catalyzed oligomerization of cinnamoyl-hydroquinone-ester and cinnamoyl-4-hydroxyanilide led to the formation of soluble polyphenols. The oligomers were synthexized in water/1,4-dioxane and in water/acetone mixtures and characterized by NMR, FTIR and SEC. Upon UV treatment of the homogenoes films the polyphenols were crosslinked due to [2+2]-cycloadditions of the cinnamoyl functions.
