Abstract—The results of the GLC–MS analysis of hydrocarbons separated from the liquid products of the ther-
molysis of vitrinites of different degrees of metamorphism are presented. Alkanes included a set of compounds
with the numbers of atoms from C₁₁ to C₃₅. The fraction of alkyl-substituted (C₁–C₄) naphthalenes, especially,
C₂–C₃ homologs, increased among compounds from the naphthalene series. Triaromatic compounds predomi-
nantly included the C₁–C₂ derivatives of phenanthrene.
