The catalysed decarbonylation of furfural to furan by palladium‐carbon and pallidium‐alumina has been examined. The results reveal a combination of support effects which are possibly related to a direct electronic support function whereby furfural and hydrogen can be adsorbed on support surfaces with subsequent surface migration to metal sites for reaction.
