Abstract
The kinetics of hydrogenolysis of various classes of organosulfur compounds were studied in the presence of MeAlCl 4 catalysts (Me=Li, Na, K). The reactions were conducted at 100–250°C without introduction of hydrogen into the reaction zone, but in the presence of hydrocarbons capable of acting as hydride—ion donors; these donors were necessary for H 2 S formation. A series of catalytic activities and optimal reaction conditions for each catalyst were determined from the rate constants of hydrogenolysis at the C-S bond. Reactivities of mercaptans, sulfides, disulfides, and thiophene were estimated.
