Abstract

The amounts of individual components in the nonhydrocarbon aromatic portion of a Kuwait gas oil boiling in the range from 218 to 345°C are reported. Twenty-eight nonhydrocarbon aromatic components were isolated and identified from their separated fractions. The majority are Ci-C5 benzo- and dibenzothiophenes. The compounds were isolated principally by using preparative scale high performance liquid chromatography, and identified by nuclear magnetic resonance and gas chromatography supplemented by mass spectrometry.
