N-(t-BOC-aminopropyl)methacrylamide

A solvent soluble, blocked primary amine monomer, it is soluble in a range of organic solvents and it polymerizes readily with other vinylic monomers. The t-BOC group is widely known to those in the peptide field and is easily deprotected to the free amine with a variety of reagents including HCl/MeOH, Me₃Sil, or heat (185°C).

Copolymers containing N-(N-BOC-aminopropyl)methacrylamide can be readily converted to primary amino copolymers which can be further modified by coupling to peptides, dyes, etc.
