Abstract Desulfurization of organic sulfides in hydrocarbon solvents in the presence of aqua complexes of metal chlorides H[MAlCl4OH] that exhibit lower acidity as compared to AlCl3 proceeds under mild conditions (450–525 K, atmospheric pressure) without external introduction of hydrogen. The process occurs with cleavage of C-S bonds and through intermediate formation of mercaptans to give H2S and the corresponding hydrocarbons. The reaction is accompanied by cleavage of C-C bonds in the groups surrounding the organosulfur moiety, in thiacyclane rings, as well as in hydrocarbon solvent molecules, resulting in the formation of a wide spectrum of gaseous and liquid products.
