Hydrogen sulphide is scavenged from a feedstock comprising crude oil and hydrogen sulphide by adding a compound of general formula: ##STR1## to the feedstock. X and Y are carbon or nitrogen atoms and the interatomic bond is triple or double as appropriate. Any two or more of R.sup.1 -R.sup.4 are organic groups containing electronegative functional groups. The remaining two or less of R.sup.1 -R.sup.4 are hydrocarbyl groups, hydrogen atoms or zero. Preferred scavengers include di-isopropylazo dicarboxylate and dimethylacetylene dicarboxylate.
