Summary 1. An investigation was made of the thermal transformations of 2-methylfuran at 350–375° under high pressures of hydrogen. The liquid products were found to contain acetone, butanone, 2-pentanone, 2-hexanone, 2--heptanone, acetophenone, 2-pentanol, pentane, and water. 2. Under the given conditions, the thermal transformations of 2-methylfuran are accelerated by rise in the pressure of hydrogen and lead to the formation not only of me substances enumerated above, but also of considerable amounts of gaseous and high-boiling products (b.p. above 170°). 3. An investigation was made of the behavior of 2-pentanone under the conditions given above; it was hydrogenated with formation of 2-pentanol, pentane, and water. 4. The possible mechanism of the process studied was examined.
