Aminolyses of monomeric and polymeric 4‐nitrophenyl esters of N‐methacryloylamino acids

4-Nitrophenyl esters of N-methacryloylamino acids and their copolymers with N-(2-hydroxypropyl)-methacrylamide were synthesized. The effect of the ester and amine structure and of the reaction medium on the rate constant of aminolysis was studied.
