Summary
-
1.
In the temperature range 325–375° under a pressure of ethylene of 10–50 atm there occurs the thermal alkylation of the ring of tetrahydro-2-methylfuran in the 5-position with formation of 2-ethyltetrahydro-5-methylfuran.
-
2.
Under these conditions there is simultaneous partial isomerizatlon of the tetrahydro-2-methylfuran into 2-pentanone.
