Conclusions

  1. 1.

    A study was made of the codimerization of 1,3-butadiene and ethylene using catalyst systems based on (C2H5)2TiCl2.

  2. 2.

    3-Methyl-1,3-pentadiene, with a 2∶3 ratio of the stereoisomers, is selectively formed in high yield on the (C5H5)2TiCL2-C2H5MgBr system.

  3. 3.

    The yield of 3-methyl-1,3-pentadiene decreases on the (C5H5)2TiCl2-Al(C2H5)3 system due to ethylene polymerization, in which connection the ratio of the isomers changes to 5∶4.
