Abstract

A block copolymer having narrow molecular weight distribution and excellent symmetrical property or a telechelic polymer having, equally at both terminals thereof, a functional group can be produced by using a polymerization initiator solution which comprises a dilithium polymerization initiator having an average number of functional groups of 1.8 to 2.0/molecule and a solvent selected from aliphatic hydrocarbon compounds and alicyclic compounds and is free of a polar substance.
