Polydehydroalanine (PDha) is a polyampholyte featuring both a -NH2 and a -COOH in every repeat unit and with that presents a rather high charge density. The synthesis and polymerization of two monomers, benzyl 2-tert-butoxycarbonylaminoacrylate and methyl 2-benzyloxycarbonylaminoacrylate is herein reported
