Polyvinylamine (PVVAm) was synthesized using the precursor poly(tert‐butyl N‐vinylcarbamate) (PTBNVC). The monomer synthesis was improved, and the control of the molecular weight of the PTBNVC and the PVAm by a transfer reaction with the solvent is demonstrated. TBNVC was radically polymerized. In suspension polymerization molecular weights of 106 g/mol are accessible. Different polymer analogous reactions were carried out. The resulting polymers are methylated polyvinylamine, poly(N‐vinylureas), poly(N‐vinylalkanamides) and PVAm‐adducts with acrylic acid derivatives.
