Abstract

This invention relates to aromatic polysulfone compounds and their manufacture. More particularly, this invention relates to functional group containing aromatic polysulfones, and their manufacture by metalation with organo-lithium compounds, of halogenated (e.g. brominated or chloromethylated) aromatic polysulfone compounds. The degree of halogenation of the starting material determines the sites that may be metalated, and the degree of metalation determines how many of these sites will be metalated. At least one of the metalated sites may be treated with an electrophile so that the lithium at that site is replaced by a residuum of the electrophile.
