The composition of aromatic sulfur compounds of oils formed during the thermolysis (160-650°C) of resins and asphaltenes from heavy crude of the Permian-Carboniferous deposit in the Usa oilfield (Komi Republic) has been studied. (C 1 -C 4 ) alkylbenzothiophenes; dibenzothiophene and (C 1 -C 3 ) alkyl derivatives; and phenanthro[4,5 bcd] , benzo[b]naphtho , triphenyleno[1,12 bcd] , dinaphtho[2,3 b:2',3' d] , perylo[1,12 bcd] , benzothieno[3,2 b]benzo , benzo[1,2 b:3,4 b']bisbenzo , and phenyldiben zothiophenes have been identified. The tri and tetracyclic structures with predominance of diben zothiophene and benzo[b]naphtho[2,1 d]thiophene prevail in the oils obtained by the thermolysis of resins and asphaltenes.
