Abstract:
A modified conjugated diene-based polymer is produced by a method reacting a conjugated diene-based polymer having an active terminal, which is a polymer obtained by polymerizing a monomer including a conjugated diene compound in the presence of an alkali metal compound, with a compound [A] represented by formula (1). In formula (1), each of R1 and R2 represents a C1 to C8 hydrocarbyl group and the like; each of R5 and R6 represents a C1 to C8 hydrocarbyl group and the like; each of R3 and R4 represents a C1 to C6 hydrocarbylene group; R7 represents a C1 to C10 hydrocarbylene group; X represents a C1 to C4 hydrocarbyloxy group; each of X2 and X3 represent a C1 to C4 hydrocarbyl group or hydrocarbyloxy group; m is an integer of 1 to 3.

Abstract:
The invention provides a rubber composition which can improve low fuel consumption performance, workability, and abrasion resistance at the same time in uses of automobile tires and the like. A modified conjugated diene polymer is produced by a method comprising: a polymerization step of polymerizing a conjugated diene compound or polymerizing a conjugated diene compound and an aromatic vinyl compound to obtain a conjugated diene polymer having an active end in the presence of a metal amide compound obtained by mixing an alkali metal compound or an alkaline earth metal compound with a secondary amine compound and a first modification step of reacting the active end with a compound (C1) having a functional group (a) that interacts with silica, having one or more linear structures where three or more groups or atoms in total derived from at least either of a methylene group and a divalent atom are linearly connected, and capable of binding to a plurality of the active ends.
