Compounds from the 5-n-alkyl-2,2'-bithiophene, 5-n-alkyl-5'-methyl-2,2'-bithiophene, 5-n-alkyl-2-phenylthiophene, and 5-n-alkyl-2-o-tolylthiophene homologous series were synthesized to prove their presence in the pyrolysis products of sulfur-rich kerogen. A study of the pyrolysis products of sulfur-vulcanized polybutadiene confirmed that these compounds can be formed via the thermal transformation of n-alkyl polysulfur-bound fragments of sulfur-rich kerogen. The earlier proposed scheme that assumes the dependence of the composition of the pyrolysis products of sulfur-rich kerogen on its saturation with sulfide bridges was experimentally corroborated.
