A process for the copolymerization of a mixture of monomers comprising propylene and 1-hexene which comprises contacting the monomers and, optionally, hydrogen in the gas phase in a single stage reaction zone, under polymerization conditions, with a catalyst system comprising (i) a solid catalyst precursor, which includes magnesium; titanium; a halogen which is chlorine, bromine, or iodine, or a mixture thereof; and a polycarboxylic acid ester containing two coplanar ester groups attached to adjacent carbon atoms; (ii) a hydrocarbyl aluminum cocatalyst; and (iii) a silicon compound containing at least one silicon-oxygen-carbon group, at a temperature of from about 50.degree.C to about 90.degree.C, wherein: (a) the atomic ratio of aluminum to titanium is in the range of about 10 to about 300; (b) the molar ratio of aluminum to silicon compound is in the range of about 0.5 to about 10; (c) the propylene partial pressure is in the range of about 50 to about 400 psi; (d) the 1-hexene partial pressure is in the range of about 1 to about 15 psi; (e) if hydrogen is present, the hydrogen partial pressure is in the range of up to about 80 psi; (f) the superficial gas velocity is in the range of about 1 to about 3 feet per second; and (g) the molar ratio of 1-hexene to propylene is in the range of about 0.01:1 to about 0.08:1.
