In the present paper, the microwave (MW)‐assisted synthesis of the alkaline N ‐[3‐(dimethylamino)propyl]methacrylamide ( 4 ) and ‐acrylamide ( 5 ) monomers within minutes is described. The reaction was carried out by mixing and subsequent irradiation of 3‐dimethylamino‐1‐propylamine ( 3 ) and (meth)acrylic acid ( 1 / 2 ) without addition of solvent. After polymerization, the obtained homopolymers ( 6 / 7 ) exhibit lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior in water at 35 °C only at pH = 14. The LCST‐behavior can be influenced by N ‐oxidation of the tertiary amino group with hydrogen peroxide or by formation of a polymer‐inclusion complex ( 6a ) of 6 and β ‐cyclodextrin ( β ‐CD) by addition of randomly‐methylated β ‐CD.
