Knowledge of the sulfur components in petroleum is of both theoretical interest and practical value to the petroleum industry. The apparent absence of thiaindins in petroleum has been of interest to sulfur and petroleum chemists for many years. Recently the authors have identified 1-thiaindan and 17 alkylthiaindans in Wasson, Texas, crude oil by a combination of gas-liquid chromatography, desulfurization, and spectral techniques. This represents the first known identification of this class of sulfur compound in petroleum. These identifications and the techniques employed are described.
