Abstract The syntheses of N‐(1,1‐dimethyl‐3‐hydroxybutyl)acrylamide and the corresponding methacrylamide by reduction of the oxobutyl acrylamides are described. These monomers are colorless liquids which are soluble in water and many organic solvents. They polymerize readily to form homopolymers and copolymers with other vinyl monomers. The preparation of polymers containing these repeating units by reduction of polymers of diacetone acrylamide and diacetone methacrylamide is also described.
