• polymerization; (meth)acryl polymers; neighboring group effects; solvent polarity; Introduction Amino groups are important functionalities in polymer chemistry, e.g., for hardening various epoxy resins [1]. However, they easily react in an undesired side reaction with electron-poor double bonds of (meth

• (Scheme 4). Conclusion It can be concluded from the above described results that the bromo-tert-butyloxycarbonyl group has a certain potential for the preparation of amino group containing functional (meth)acryl polymers. Since the deprotection takes place under mild conditions in polar solvents, some
