Abstract
The uncatalyzed thermal decomposition of 1-hexanethiol was studied at temperature varying from 300 to 700 °C and was observed to give 42% of olefinic hydrocarbons at 600 °C. Dialkyl sulphides were also obtained at 550 °C with a maximum yield of 13.3% at 650 °C. The effect of sulphide catalyst was investigated and nickel sulphide was found to be the most effective: at low temperature (150–450 °C) dihexylsulphide was produced and at higher temperature (450–600 °C) olefinic hydrocarbons were obtained. Very little catalytic effect was observed with molybdenum and cadmium sulphides.
