Efforts toward quantitation of the sulfur removed from coal in the reaction Coal(S) + excess PBu{sub 3} with heat {r_arrow} Coal + SPBu{sub 3}/PBu{sub 3} by column chromatography of the products followed by weighing the SPBu{sub 3} and vacuum distillation of the SPBu{sub 3}/PBu{sub 3} mixture followed by gas chromatographic analysis are described. The first method failed, but the latter is more successful. It has been discovered that para-chloro phenol catalyzes the removal of sulfur from dibenzothiophene by PBu{sub 3} under mild conditions.
