Catalytic hydrogenolysis of alkylfurans

  • Published:
Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

The vapor-phase conversion of α-methylfuran and α-methyltetrahydrofuran on a sodium and potassium-activated palladium catalyst in a stream of hydrogen at atmospheric pressure at 200–450°C was investigated. Hydrogenolysis of α-methylfuran and isomerization of α-methyltetrahydrofuran to give 2-pentanone in both cases occur at 300° with identical selectivities. It is assumed that aliphatic ketones are formed from the alkylfurans on this catalyst via a parallel-consecutive scheme through direct hydrogenolysis of the alkylfurans and isomerization of their tetrahydro derivatives, which are formed as intermediates.
