N-methyl-N-n-propylacrylamide (MnPAm) was polymerized using a versatile organocatalytic group transfer polymerization (GTP) system to afford the well-defined poly(N-methyl-N-n-propylacrylamide) (PMnPAm), in which a silyl ketene aminal was in-situ formed as the initiator by the B(C6F5)3-catalyzed 1,4...
