Abstract A process for reducing the molecular weight of hydrocarbons using NaAlCl4 is provided wherein the hydrogen to carbon ratio of the product slate is approxi- mately the same as the feed material, comprising con- tacting the feed material with a molten salt of NaAlCl4 having a ratio of aluminum chloride to sodium chloride of at least 1:1, preferably at a temperature of at least 660°F, and at a pressure above atmospheric, preferably from about 50 psia to about 2000 psia, depending upon the product slate desired. According to the present invention, heavy hydrocarbons are converted to a liquid product slate wherein substantially all of the liquid components exhibit a molecular weight lower than the molecular weight range exhibited by the hydrocarbon feedstock.
