During the second quarter of this two-year grant the following studies were initiated or continued: (a) study of the desulfurizing action of nickel salts or organonickel complexes, combined with metal hydrides, on SRC plant liquids; (b) continuing survey of other model organosulfur compounds that might undergo desulfurization with such nickel reagents, either preformed or prepared in situ; (c) evaluation of molybdenum complexes as desulfurizing agents; (d) formation of nickel hydrides by oxidative additions and their behavior as desulfurizing agents; and (e) exploration of the denitrogenation of quinolines by reductive hydrolysis. The following observations have been made: (a) SRC liquids (code No. M-51) containing 0.5% of sulfur underwent loss of 80% of their sulfur when treated with nickel salts, pyridine and a metal hydride; (b) sulfones can be reduced to hydrocarbons by the joint action of nickel salts and metal hydrides; (c) under conditions thus far tried, molybdenum salts and metal hydrides appear to be desulfurizing agents that are inferior to those of nickel or cobalt; (d) nickel(0) complexes interact with aluminum hydrides to evolve hydrogen; and (e) some model 1,2-dihydroquinolines are being synthesized to test the feasibility of reductive denitrogenation.
