Aminolysis of N -vinylpyrrolidone-crotonic acid- p -nitrophenyl crotonate terpolymers with 2-hydroxyethylamine and 3-hydroxypropylamine in dimethyl sulfoxide at 25°C was studied by UV spectroscopy. The factors affecting the aminolysis kinetics were determined. Preparative synthesis of the aminolysis products in dimethyl sulfoxide was performed and the composition of the aminolysis products was determined.
