Polyurethanes find versatile applications in our daily lives, e.g., as coatings, foams and adhesives, but non-hazardous synthesis routes with renewable feedstocks are urgently needed. Here, the authors report an organocatalytic synthesis route towards non-isocyanate polyurethanes using terpenes as renewable starting materials.
