Abstract
Poly.alpha.-olefin, for example, polypropylene, is produced with an excellent yield by bringing, in the presence of an organic acid ester, a feed, containing at least one .alpha.-olefin having 3 or more carbon atoms, for example, propylene, into contact with a catalyst which comprises (A) a solid catalytic ingredient prepared (a) by reacting a Grignard compound of the formula, R.sup.3 MgX wherein R.sup.3 =C.sub.1-8 alkyl and X=halogen, with a reaction product of an aluminium halide with an organic silicon compound of the formula, R.sub.n.sup.1 Si(OR.sup.2).sub.4-n, wherein R.sup.1 =C.sub.1-8 alkyl or phenyl, R.sup.2 =C.sub.1-8 alkyl, n=1, 2 or 3, (b) bringing the resultant reaction product into a first contact with titanium tetrahalide, (c) treating the resultant titanium-containing solid product with an organic acid ester, and, finally, (d) bringing the treated solid product into a second contact with titanium tetrahalide, and; (B) another catalytic ingredient consisting of a trialkyl aluminium of the formula, AlR.sub.3.sup.4 wherein R.sup.4 =C.sub.2-6 alkyl.
