ABSTRACT:
There is provided a process for converting methane to higher molecular weight hydrocarbons. In a first step, methane is contacted with carbonyl sulfide in the presence of UV light under conditions sufficient to produce CH.sub.3 SH. This CH.sub.3 SH then contacted with a sufficient catalyst, such as a zeolite, especially ZSM-5, under conditions sufficient to produce hydrocarbons having two or more carbon atoms.
