Summary: Various (meth)acrylamides were synthesized in good yields directly from (meth)acrylic acid and an amine using microwave irradiation in a solvent‐free environment. Under the applied conditions the (meth)acrylic function is preserved. Furthermore, the addition of an initiator like 2,2′‐azoisobutyronitrile (AIBN) to the starting mixture leads directly to poly(meth)acrylamides in a single step.General reaction scheme for the formation of poly(meth)acrylamides from the microwave‐assisted reaction of (meth)acrylic acid and various amines.
