Supported MoS 2 /γ‐Al 2 O 3 and Ni‐MoS 2 /γ‐Al 2 O 3 as well as unsupported Ni‐MoS 2 were investigated in the hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) of quinoline in the presence of dibenzothiophene (DBT). The supported oxide catalyst precursors had a well‐dispersed amorphous polymolybdate structure that led to the formation of a highly dispersed sulfide phase. In contrast, the unsupported catalyst precursor consisted of a mixture of nickel molybdate and ammonium nickel molybdate phases that formed stacked sulfide slabs after sulfidation. On all catalysts, the reaction pathway for the removal of N in quinoline HDN mainly followed the sequence quinoline→1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroquinoline→decahydroquinoline→propylcyclohexylamine→propylcyclohexene→propylcyclohexane. The hydrodesulfurization of DBT proceeded mainly by direct desulfurization towards biphenyl. For both processes, the activity increased in the order MoS 2 /γ‐Al 2 O 3
