Abstract
It was established that the hydrogenation of difurfurylideneacetone on a skeletal Ni-Ti-Al catalyst at atmospheric pressure proceeds nonselectively. The rate of hydrogenation in both aprotic and protic solvents increases as their overall electrophilicity increases. The process is realized selectively under hydrogen pressure. By changing the type of solvent one can obtain a catalyzate enriched in various reaction products.
