Catalysts suitable for the dimerization of a diolefin, e.g. butadiene to 4-vinylcyclohexene, are prepared by reacting (1) iron chloride and sodium nitrite or alternatively (2) iron nitrosyl chloride with (3) carbon monoxide in an organic solvent in the presence of iron. The catalyst solution is preferably filtered prior to use. While the reaction employing iron chloride and sodium nitrile is preferred, the catalyst produced by either method contains a minimum of reducing agent and by-products. It can be isolated and stored in the absence of diolefin monomer and carbon monoxide while retaining its stability and activity.
