Polypropylene having high maleic anhydride content, between about 5 and about 45 wt %, may be prepared by first reacting a metallocene-prepared polypropylene having terminal unsaturation with one mole equivalent of maleic anhydride to give polypropylene having a single unsaturation and a terminal succinic anhydride moiety.
