Abstract

Abstract Viscous polybutenes of number average molecular weight (M n ) in the range of about 300 to about 3,000 have improved reactivity with intramolecular anhydrides of unsaturated aliphatic dicarboxylic acids when reacted in the presence of rather small amounts, i.e., 5 to 200 ppm, of inorganic halogen preferably chlorine and/or bromine containing compounds. Use of such halogen containing compounds in the addition reaction of polybutene with said unsaturated anhydrides can reduce formation of undesired tarry product resulting from polymerization and/or thermal decomposition of the unsaturated anhydrides.
