Ethylene is trimerized to form 1-hexene when there is a reaction of chlorobenzene and tetraethyl tin.
Usually, the catalyst comprises of a tantalum compound (e.g., TaCl5) and the alkylating component comprises of a metal hydrocarbyl halide compound, e.g., tetraethyl tin - Sn(CH2CH3)4). The solvent is chlorobenzene.

Generally, the reaction pressure will range from about 300 psig to about 1000 and the reaction temperature will range from about 25° C. to about 70° C.
When the reaction occurs, the solid product of 1-hexene is formed in trace amounts and the selectivity towards 1-hexene will be 98%. Residual solvents yield polyethylene. Gas chromatography is usually performed to determine the selectivity and yield.
