Abstract

The residual chlorine content of a polyolefin-substituted carboxylic acylating agent formed by a chlorine-assisted reaction of a polyolefin and an &agr;,&bgr;-unsaturated carboxylic reactant can be reduced by heating the polyolefin-substituted carboxylic acylating agent having a residual chlorine content in the presence of an &agr;,&bgr;-unsaturated carboxylic reactant, optionally in the further presence of a sulfonic acid. Residual chlorine content can be further reduced by using, in the reaction of the polyolefin &agr;,&bgr;-unsaturated carboxylic reactant, a high speed mixer provided with a dual pitch blade.
