    Abstract: Co-oligomers of 1,3-dienes and compounds containing an olefine group a ,b - to an aromatic group are obtained by reacting the starting materials at 0-250 DEG C. in the presence of a zero-valent compound of iron, cobalt or nickel. The principal products contain a mol. ratio of diene: olefine of 1:2 in the case of aryl olefines and 1:1 in other cases and include the new compounds C6H5-CH = CH-CH2-CR1 = CR11-CH2-CR1 = CR11-CH3 in which R1 and R11 are hydrogen or methyl, obtained from styrene and butadiene, isoprene or dimethylbutadiene. Other diene starting materials include 2-ethylbutadiene, pentadiene-1,3, hexadiene-2,4, cyclohexadiene-1,3, cyclo-octadiene-1,3, 1-vinylcyclohexene-1, 3-methylheptatriene-1,4,6, and octatriene-1,3,6. Aryl olefins may contain benzene, naphthalene or anthracene, and the olefinic substituent, of which there may be a plurality, being vinyl or a - or b -methyl vinyl. The catalyst may be a carbonyl or carbonyl hydride or such a compound in which one or more ligands have been replaced by a trivalent phosphorus, arsenic and/or antimony compound or a nitrile, thioether, or amine including heterocyclic amine compounds or complexes of the metal with an aromatic hydrocarbon and aluminium halide or with an olefin or acetylene. The catalyst may be formed from an ordinary compound and a reducing agent in the presence of an electron donor; the reducing agent may be a metal or hydride or organoderivative thereof and the electron donor may be a tertiary amine, phosphine, phosphine oxide, ester or substituted triamide of phosphorous acid, ester of thiophosphorous acid, arsine, stilbine, bismuth hydrocarbyl ether, ethioether, sulphoxide, sulphone, mercaptan or an olefinic or acetylinic compound. A hydrocarbon halogenohydrocarbon or ether solvent is preferably present during the formation of the catalyst and the subsequent oligomerization.

    Abstract: Triaryl phosphines are prepared by mixing an aryl halide with activated aluminium, stirring the mixture for about 1 to 100 hours at an elevated temperature, if desired in the presence of an inert solvent, until the bulk of the aluminium is dissolved and reacting the resultant product with a halide of trivalent phosphorus at a temperature between 100 and 300 DEG C., if desired after distilling off the solvent. The aluminium may be activated by intimately mixing with small amounts of a halogen, hydrogen halide, a metal halide, a non-metal halide or an organo-metallic compound. The phosphorus halide may be organic or inorganic. The product, which consists essentially of a mixture of aluminium halide and a triaryl phosphine-aluminium halide adduct may be worked up by hydrolysis and extraction or by adding a complex former for the aluminium halide, e.g. an alkali metal halide, a t-amine or POCl3, and distilling. Triphenyl phosphine is prepared in examples.
