Solid catalyst component, catalyst for olefin polymerization, and method for producing olefin polymer

A transition metal compound represented by the general formula (2) or (3) described below, a catalyst component for olefin polymerization comprising said transition metal compound, a catalyst component for olefin polymerization using said transition metal compound and (C) and/or (D) described below, and a process for producing an olefinic polymer wherein olefins are homopolymerized or olefins are copolymerized with other olefins and/or other polymerizable unsaturated compound using said catalyst for olefin polymerization.

The present invention provides a process for producing aminosaline compounds which are useful as precursors for ligands in the transition metal complexes, said process avoiding handling of solid which is troublesome in isolation and purification and combustible upon contact with air, having smaller number of reaction steps, and giving a high yield, in industrial scale. The present invention has a great value that said process for production could be carried out at an industrially advantageous temperature of -20.degree. or higher.

Process for producing aminosilane compounds

A method for purifying a transition metal compound, which comprises conducting crystallization of a transition metal compound from a solution containing the transition metal compound while stirring. According to the present invention, it is possible to purify and produce efficiently a transition metal compound at high purity under industrially and economically advantageous conditions.

A method for producing a bridged type transition metal complex represented by the following formula (1), comprising the following steps (i) and (ii):

Method for producing bridged type transition metal complex

2,3-Dimethyl-2-butene is prepared by isomerizing 2,3-dimethyl-1-butene using at least one acid selected from the group consisting of sulfuric acid and sulfonic acids. By this process, 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene is effectively prepared from 2,3-dimethyl-1-butene using an inexpensive catalyst such as sulfonic acid or the sulfonic acids. Further, a dimerization reaction product of propene can also be used in the isomerization step without removing the dimerization catalyst from the reaction product.

Dimerization of low .alpha.-olefins

Aminoanthraquinones which are materials for dyes are prepared by allowing nitroanthraquinones to react with carbon monoxide and water in a liquid phase in the presence of a homogeneous catalyst comprising rhodium compounds or ruthenium compounds and solvents therefor.

Production of aromatic amines

A process for producing an aromatic amine under moderate conditions is provided wherein a catalyst higher in activity than conventional catalysts is used. Reduction of an aromatic nitro compound under a CO/H.sub.2 O system is conducted using a rhodium compound catalyst in the presence of an aqueous alkali solution such as aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. Alternatively, an aromatic nitro compound is reduced under a CO/H.sub.2 O system using a rhodium compound or a ruthenium compound catalyst in the presence of the aqueous alkali solution and additionally at least one compound of amine compounds, diamine compounds, phosphine compounds, phosphite compounds, and diphosphine compounds.
