Abstract

The process of catalytic hydrogenation of furfural diethyl acetal to ethyl furfuryl ether on the different catalysts (palladium, palladium-rhenium and copper-ruthenium on Sibunit in reduced forms) was studied. It was found that hydrogenation of the furan ring with the formation of THF diethyl acetal occurs on all the catalysts. Ethyl furfuryl ether becomes the main product while carrying on the second hydrogenation cycle on spent palladium catalyst (yield and selectivity up to 55 % and 85 %, respectively)
