A method for producing an olefin polymer, in which an olefin compound is polymerized in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst at a temperature of 0 C. or lower to obtain an olefin polymer, the method comprising a step of feeding a raw material liquid including the olefin compound to a reactor provided with a cooling unit, a step of polymerizing the olefin compound in the reactor to obtain a reaction liquid including the olefin polymer, a deactivation step of adding a deactivator to the reaction liquid taken out from the reactor to deactivate the Lewis acid catalyst, and a step of supplying the reaction liquid after the deactivation step to a cold recovery unit to recover cold from the reaction liquid, wherein the amount of the Lewis acid catalyst is 0.510.sup.3 to 1.010.sup.1 mol % based on the total amount of the olefin compound.

This invention describes processes to make products by cross metathesis of functionalized or non-functionalized olefins with poly-branched poly-olefins such as terpenes (e.g., farnesene(s), -farnesene, -farnesene, -myrcene, etc.) and compositions made by such methods. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods of making (i) cross metathesis products by a cross metathesis reaction between at least one hydrovinylated olefinic substrate and at least one hydrovinylated cross metathesis substrate in the presence of at least one olefin metathesis catalyst; (ii) cross metathesis products by a cross metathesis reaction between at least one hydrovinylated olefinic substrate and at least one cross metathesis substrate in the presence of at least one olefin metathesis catalyst; and (iii) cross metathesis products by a cross metathesis reaction between at least one olefinic substrate and at least one hydrovinylated cross metathesis substrate in the presence of at least one olefin metathesis catalyst; as well as compositions made by such methods.
