Method for preparing polymers by reacting carboxyl, hydroxyl, thio, amino, carbonyl and imino functional group-containing monomers with non-halogenated organometallic compounds to form masked, functional group-containing monomers and polymerizing polymer chain monomers with the masked, functional group-containing monomers to produce a polymer chain. Method for forming masked, functional group-containing monomers by reacting carboxyl, hydroxyl, thio, amino, carbonyl and imino functional group-containing monomers with non-halogenated organometallic compounds. Masked, carboxyl, hydroxyl, thio, amino, carbonyl and imino functional group-containing monomers.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 1990Date of Patent: October 6, 1992Assignee: Exxon Chemical Patents Inc.Inventors: Sudhin Datta, Edward N.
