<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p><jats:bold>Summary:</jats:bold> Eugenol and isoeugenol were used as natural based starting materials to prepare unsaturated polyethers and polycarbonates. The polymerization was achieved in a two step procedure exploiting the orthogonal phenol and ene functionalities. Thus diene terminated ethers and organic carbonates were obtained from eugenol and isoeugenol, and subjected to ADMET polymerisation using Grubbs 2<jats:sup>nd</jats:sup> generation catalyst<jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="#bib1">1</jats:ext-link>. The obtained unsaturated polymers have molecular weights ranging from 2.700 to 32.000 g/mol. Molecular weight build up was partly restricted by the low solubility of the products.</jats:p>
