Alternating copolymer of butadiene and propylene. III

Abstract
Alternating copolymerizations of butadiene with propylene and other olefins were investigated by using VO(acac)2–Et3Al–Et2AlCl system as catalyst. Butadiene–propylene copolymer with high degree of alternation was prepared with a monomer feed ratio (propylene/butadiene) of 4. Alternating copolymers of butadiene and other terminal olefins such as butene‐1, pentene‐1, dodecene‐1, and octadiene‐1,7 were also obtained. However, the butadiene–butene‐2 copolymerization did not yield an alternating copolymer but a trans‐1,4‐polybutadiene.
