The bisphenols containing methylene spacer were prepared by treating eugenol/2‐allyl phenol with 2,6‐dimethyl phenol/guiacol/ o ‐cresol in the presence of AlCl 3 . All the bisphenols were converted to their respective cyanate esters by treating with CNBr. The structural confirmation was done by FTIR, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR spectral methods, and elemental analysis. Thermal characterization was done by DSC and TGA. DSC transition shows that the T g is in the range of 208–239°C. The T g is highest for the cyanate ester Cy(b) with symmetric structure. The T g of the cured network depends on the length and symmetry of the monomer, T g being higher for shorter and the para‐substituted monomers. The T 10 values are in the range of 364–381°C. The char yield is in the range of 47–53%. From the char yield, the limiting oxygen index (LOI) value was determined, which is used to confirm the flame retardancy of the cyanate ester resins. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
