1. A method for producing an unsaturated organic compound from an alkane component of an organic-containing feed, comprising the steps of:

  • a) providing a reactor containing a bath, said bath comprising a Bronsted acid which can protonate an alkane component of the organic-containing feed;

    b) directing the feed into contact with the bath at a rate which causes the Bronsted acid to protonate said alkane component; and

    c) establishing and maintaining conditions in the reactor which cause the protonated alkane component to fragment and form a carbenium ion and an unsaturated organic component.
