Abstract
Assam coal was reductively acylated by using zinc dust, acetic acid and phenol. This reaction resulted in enhanced extractability of coal in quinoline. The residue extracted after the first step was further reductively acylated which rendered it further extractable in quinoline. Three successive steps could solubilize the coal to the extent of 58 per cent on ash balance basis.
