Summary

  1. 1.

    A comparative study of the hydrogenation of 1-furyl-2-methyl-aminopropane in the vapor phase at 300° on Os-C, Rh-C, and skeletal Pd-Al and Cu-Al catalysts is reported.

  2. 2.

    On all these catalysts the initial reaction was hydrogenolysis of the furan ring at the C-O bond not adjacent to the substituent. This led to the formation of 2-n-propyl-4-methylpyrrole (50–85%). The best catalyst for this conversion was skeletal Cu-Al (85%).
