Two Polish coals and an anthracite were subjected to four-stage reduction in potassium/liquid ammonia. After each stage, solubility of the products in methylene chloride was studied. Extraction yield was found to increase with increasing number of stages. The highest yield of transformation to solub

✦ Synopsis
The products of reduction and reductive alkylation of five demineralized coals run in a system of potassium/ liquid ammonia were subject to extraction by methylene chloride and n-pentane. The paper reports infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) characteristics of the extracts and the results of their elemental analysis and molecular weight determination. Analysis of n.m.r. spectra of the extracts permitted determination of changes in their structural parameters from which inference is drawn about chemical transformations occurring in coals upon reduction and reductive alkylation.

The reaction of non-reductive ethylation of a coal anion generated in the presence of a strong base (sodium and/or potassium amides) in liquid ammonia is an efficient method for coal solubilization. Under the reaction conditions used, over 50 wt y0 of vitrinites separated from carboniferous bitumino
Solvated electrons prepared by dissolution of alkali metals in ethers can be transferred to coal. Subsequent hydrolysis with a mild proton donor yields coal derivatives which are up to 85% extractible by pyridine and have a H/C-ratio of 41.4. Analytical investigation of these soluble coal derivative
