PURPOSE:To obtain the subject initiator useful for producing a diene (co) polymer, soluble in a hydrocarbon, providing a polymer having a narrow molecular weight in good reproducibility, comprising a mixture of a specific lithioamine and an organic alkali metal compound. CONSTITUTION:The objective initiator comprises a mixture of a lithioamine of the formula (A)Li(SOL)y [y is 0 or 0.5-3; SOL is soluble component selected from hydrocarbon, ethers, etc. ; A is (di)alkyl or (di)cycloalkylamine group of formula I (R1 is 1-12C alkyl, cycloalkyl, etc.) or cyclic amine group of formula II (R2 is 3-12 methylene-containing bifunctional alkylene, oxyalkylene, etc.), an organic alkali metal compound and optionally a chelating agent. The lithioamine is preferably obtained by reacting a functioning agent composed of an amine containing a group of formula I or formula II with an organolithium compound of the formula RLi (R is 1-20C alkyl, alkenyl, etc.) in the presence of a SOL such as hexane.

PURPOSE:To obtain a rubber composition which does undergo deterioration of the grip even when the temperature raises, also does not undergo the failure resistance and abrasion resistance even when a urea compound is added thereto in a large amount, and the rubber properties by adding a urea compound to a rubber. CONSTITUTION:A rubber composition is obtained by adding at least one compound of formula I (wherein R1 is alkyl, benzyl or aryl; R2 is alkyl, benzyl, aryl or urea) [e.g. a compound of formula II, III, IV or V) (wherein (n) is 6)] to 100 pts.wt. rubber comprising a natural rubber and/or a synthetic rubber. Because the obtained rubber composition contains the above compound, it does not undergo deterioration of the grip even when the temperature raises, the failure resistance and abrasion resistance even when the compound is added in a large amount and the performances of the rubber itself, and can be applied to various rubber products such as tires, vibrationproof rubbers and fenders.
