The invention provides a catalyst composition suitable for hydrogenation of polymers containing ethylenical unsaturation which comprises at least:
(a) a titanium compound of the formula
wherein A1 represents an optionally substituted heterocyclic five membered ring comprising a phosphorous or nitrogen heteroatom, and A2 has the same meaning as A1 or alternatively represents an optionally substituted cyclopentadienyl group or indenyl group, and wherein L1 and L2 may be the same or different and each may be selected from hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl, phenyl, aralkyl, having from 7 to 10 carbons, lower alkoxy group, phenyloxy, phenylalkoxy group having from 7 to 10 carbon atoms, carboxyl, carbonyl, a ∼CH2P(Phenyl)2, -CH2 Si(lower alkyl)3 or ∼P(phenyl)2 group; and
(b) an alkalimetal hydride, added as such or prepared in situ in the polymer solution from the alkalimetal terminated living polymer and/or from additionally added alkalimetal alkyl; and
process for hydrogenation of polymers containing ethylenical unsaturation.
