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