Abstract: Chloro-substituted phenoxy ethers useful as fungicides. Representative compounds include 2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)tetrahydropyran, 2-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)tetrahydropyran and 1-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)-1-isobutoxy ethane.

Abstract: A method of preparing reformed titanium trichloride catalyst for .alpha.-olefin polymerization which comprises simultaneously pulverizing an organoaluminum compound and a crystalline titanium trichloride compound, the latter comprising titanium trichloride and aluminum trichloride, subsequently treating the pulverized mixture with a solvent selected from oxygen-containing organic compounds, and finally treating the thus treated titanium trichloride with a halide of a metal selected from the groups IV and V of the periodic table.

Abstract: A method for the polymerization or copolymerization of .alpha.-olefin wherein .alpha.-olefin is polymerized or copolymerized in the presence of a catalyst essentially comprising a reformed titanium trichloride and an organoaluminum compound. The reformed titanium trichloride is prepared by simultaneously pulverizing an organoaluminum compound and a crystalline titanium trichloride compound, the latter comprising titanium trichloride and aluminum trichloride, treating the pulverized mixture with a solvent selected from aromatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbon halides and organic ethers, separating the treated material from the solvent, and heating the separated material.
