ABSTRACT
The oxidation of heterocyclic sulfur compounds reported to be part of the macrostructure of coal and petroleum was investigated. The oxidation of thianthrene solubilized in 10% dimethylformamide to thianthrene monosulfoxide in the presence of hydrogen peroxide was catalyzed by the ligninase from Phanerochaete chrysosporium.
