Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of functional alpha-olefin homo- and copolymers by polymerization through a borane monomer intermediate. Borane monomers, derived from mono-hydroboration of appropriate dienes with dialkyl borane, have been found to be stable to Ziegler-Natta catalysts. In turn, the borane homo- and copolymers are easily converted to a variety of other functionalities; e.g., alcohols, aldehydes, amines, etc.
