A process for chemically modifying at least one component of a hydrocarbon-based material comprising: contacting the hydrocarbon-based material with at least one metal component selected from the group consisting of vanadium components in which vanadium is present in the 5+ oxidation state in an amount effective to promote the chemical modification of at least one component of the hydrocarbon-based material, iron components in which iron is present in the 3+ oxidation state in an amount effective to promote the chemical modification of at least one component of the hydrocarbon-based material, managanese components in which manganese is present in the 3+ oxidation state in an amount effective to promote the chemical modification of at least one component of the hydrocarbon-based material and mixtures thereof, and at least one oxygen transfer agent in an amount effective to do at least one of the following: maintain at least partially the promoting activity of the metal component; produce at least a portion of metal component; and oxidize at least a portion of the component of the hydrocarbon-based material, the contacting occurring at conditions effective to chemically modify the component of the hydrocarbon-based material. This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 225,732, filed July 29, 1988, now abandoned, which in turn is a continuation-in-part of application 931,246, filed Nov. 17, 1986, now abandoned.
