Notes:
Tertiary amine-chelated alkyllithium compounds were investigated as catalyst systems for the reactions of olefinic hydrocarbons. Ethylene is polymerized in paraffinic hydrocarbon solution to a high-melting, low molecular weight polyethylene wax having terminal olefinic unsaturation. A chain-transfer reaction is interpreted in terms of an olefin displacement reaction. Other olefins with available allylic hydrogen are metallized in this position. The C4 olefins in conjunction with ethylene were found to undergo a telomerization reaction, involving the olefin as telogen and ethylene as taxogen. The structure and the mechanism of formation of these telomeric olefins are discussed.
