Abstract

Abstract Butene-1 is polymerized in the presence of a catalytic system comprising a solid catalytic component (A), a trialkylaluminum compound (B), an organic acid ester (C), and an organoaluminum compound (D) at a molar ratio of (D) to (B) ranging 0.1 to 10 wherein said solid catalytic component (A) is obtained by reacting a reaction product (a) of a Grignard reagent with a chain or cyclic hydropolysiloxane having the unit ##EQU1## (R 1 represents an alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, alkoxy or aryloxy group; a is 0, 1 or 2; b is 1, 2 or 3 and a+b≦3) with at least one compound having the formula R.sub.n.sup.2 M(.sup.(z) X.sub.z-n (R 2 represents a C 1 to C 12 hydrocarbon moiety; M represents Al or Si; z represents atomic value of 3 or 4; X represents a halogen atom; n is 0, 1-(z-1) to obtain a reaction product (b) and further reacting said reaction product (b) with at least one titanium halide in the presence of an organic acid ester.
